Our First Time At Hafan Y Mor Haven - (Site Review)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- It was our first time at Hafan Y Mor, the Haven Holiday caravan site in Pwllheli, North Wales.
We went to Hafan Y Mor, Haven to help out the North Wales Superkids charity and thought we'd do a caravan site review while we were there, to show all of the facilities available at this holiday camp site.
The Haven Hafan Y Mor site is a holiday camp located on the old Pwllheli Butlins site and is run by Haven Holidays.
Although this was our first time at Hafan Y Mor, Wills had visited it a number of times when it was still Butlins Pwllheli.
Haven Holidays took over Hafan Y Mor, the former Butlins in 1999 and have since spent millions on a massive makeover.
If you are ever thinking of taking a caravan holiday in North Wales, then Haven's Hafan Y Mor is definitely for you.
We mention in the video about our helping out to the charity, North Wales Superkids, founded by Wills' mum.
If you can spare anything and wish to donate to help this fantastic charity, then please check out their website -
www.northwalessuperkids.co.uk
where there are a number of ways to help the charity.
While at Hafan Y Mor, we decided to go on a lovely walk along the headland, where we were treated to stunning views of the North Wales coast - Harlech, Criccieth, Black Rock Sands and the stunning Snowdonia Mountain Range.
This really is a beautiful part of North Wales and we hope this North Wales vlog will maybe inspire you to visit and take a look for yourself at the natural beauty of the surrounding areas.
Thank you for watching this Hafan Y Mor, Haven site guide vlog and as we say in Postcard and a Pint - Cheers To The Good Times x

⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint UA-cam channel.
Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It's just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x

The train was going from the 70s ,80,90s when I used to go to Butlins,it was called puffin Billy ,it did go to the beach, shame that they took it away, and the chair lift went to the point where you were touching, lovely views , thanks ,it was great as Butlins,fond memories, lovely as haven
Thank you so much for sharing your memories with us. Wills used to go on for the day back in the 80’s, but doesn’t remember lots about it. I bet the train was brilliant. Cheers for watching 🍻
What a wonderful Thanks to my friend for sharing this wonderful video.
Thank you so much for watching 🍻
What a great job you did on the caravan. Well done! The location of the site is beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us 🚍☀️
Thanks so much for watching guys 🍻
Like 66. How are you doing 🤗 Happy to see your video ❤️
Hi Aishu, lives been very busy, it’s nice to see you again. Thanks for watching 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint You are welcome 🤗
Looks like a super place for families... plenty to do to keep busy.
It’s a really good site. Thanks for watching 🍻
Absolutely brilliant guys, loved this from start to finish. Well thats nothing new. One of our favourite tv shows is channel fives “happy campers”, nowhere near as entertaining or as informative as your video but a great show none the less. Lovely to meet Wills Sister and what a great charity and lovely place to stay. We can fully get behind that. So much to do there and wow when you did that walk the cracking views of Snowdonia in the distance are possibly second to none. Yay you bagged a trig, what a beaut. Your love for North Wales shines through and every person watching this video will feel your love. Job well done. We love North Wales too, just wish it was closer. We would never tire of it ❤
Thank you so much. Never heard of happy campers, we’ll have to check it out. The site is fantastic, but our favourite bit was the walk, even though Becky called us power walkers! Us!!!! Maybe we’re not as unfit as we think!! Cheers for watching 🍻
Lovely drone footage of the beautiful coastline!
It was such a beautiful day
Its a beautiful and amazing view of the palace and nature and also a beautiful show performance thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching 🍻
And the jokes keep coming😂 what an amazing Haven site and that caravan is spectacular! Many wonderful memories are going to be made there for sure ❤
Thank you so much for watching. We always have a fun day out whatever it is we’re doing. You’re certainly right about memories being made there. Thanks for watching 🍻
Here for the dragons😅. Ok maybe the 6-wheel buggies also. Reminds me of the Banana Splits Show. Noone will remember that🤣. The beach is awesome also. Great job on the caravan. I'm sure whoever stays there will appreciate the hard work. Have an amazing week ahead and have a pint for me🍻👍😎💞🐲
Wills remembers the Banana Splits show!! We quite fancied a go on the buggies too! I think there will be quite a few more trips to do the cleaning there, so we may ride a dragon or buggy one day!! Cheers for watching 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint Maybe 'Sound-Master' Wills can find a no-cr version of the theme song🤣
Wonderful. I like it very much..
Have a perfect time. Greetings
Thank you so much for watching 🍻
Very fun looking caravan! You two had some fantastic weather to check everything out. 😊
It’s been amazing of late - not very welsh weather at all!!! We’ll take it though. Thanks for joining us 🍻
Love the coastline so much, the views are gorgeous. You really visited wonderful place with lots to see. Thank you for great sharing. Have a beautiful Sunday. Greeting from Color&Shawn 😍❤️👍👍🤗
Thanks so much for watching guys. It was a lovely day out and that walk was divine! Cheers 🍻
Looks like a great site and coast. We are sure the families that use it will have a super holiday. ❤
Ah thank you. I’m a lot jealous of all of them going there! 🍻
Yay! Y'all are so awesome and generous! And this was a super fun visit 😊
Ah thanks for joining us guys. It was a fun day 🍻
Looks a really comfortable caravan. Great to see you helping out. I am sure a lot of people will have a happy enjoyable time here this year.
Thanks so much Ivor. It’s a lovely caravan isn’t it. Many happy memories to be made this summer 🍻
Just got back it defo is
Really enjoyed this Postcard review, was great to see the ole caravan holiday popping up on your radar. The caravan you guys did up was lovely, so much to offer and all the amenities people could need or want, not to mention super spacious too! Loving the variety of places to eat and enjoy a cheeky panto show. What a fantastic cause that the Superkids Charity is! We loved watching this and well done for bagging that trig point, i can imagine a few of our friends on here will be proud hehe! Loved it from start to finish, thank you both as always!
Thanks so much guys. Sorry we’re so quiet on here, the next 3 weeks are the busiest of the year. We’re so looking forward to sitting down and having a good ole catch up!! It’s a great charity and the families staying there will have an amazing time. The site itself was fantastic and yes we bagged a trig! Even knew the lingo thanks to this lovely community. Cheers !
Ooo the fancy bar/lounge.
I looooove a good boardwalk. The ocean is so healing, the coast path looks absolutely lovely! What a great place to relax and rest. 😊
Thanks so much for watching 🍻
Looks like a great day!
It was a wonderful day, thank you so much for watching. 🍻
Cảm ơn bạn chia sẻ video tuyệt vời. Chúc bạn nhiều sức khỏe và công việc luôn vui vẻ nhé 👍
Thank you so much for watching 🍻
Hello, Rach, Wills and Becky!!Oh...what a fantastic location! Love the drone views too!
And the caravan looks absolutely amazing!
A very interesting one, guys! Hugs and happy new summer week! Renata
Thanks so much Renata, it was a really fun day. So much to see and do there.
@@PostcardAndAPint GREAT!! Hugs, guys!!
I must say you made me feel I must visit again. We had our Butlins holidays there when young then went again in the 2000s . Certainly brought back a lot of fond memories. Well done for a lovely video.
Thank you so much. We were blessed with a gorgeous day, which certainly helped! It's an excellent site with great facilities in a lovely place. Cheers for watching 🍻
Love your cheeky reviews, Rachel and Wills and we're happy Becky is there to keep you in line! Looks like a wonderful place for families to come and the food looks great as long as the dinosaur doesn't eat us! Beautiful beach and coastal area. Thanks for bringing us along and the "Superkids Charity' is a wonderful cause. You must be very proud of your Mom, Wills. Wonderful woman!
We’re all so proud of Wills mum and everything she has achieved. So many families will make incredible memories there this summer. Thanks so much for watching guys, it’s a truly stunning place. 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint We did visit her site and are contributing monthly to her great cause.
@@TravelingTramps ah guys. Thank you so much. That is so kind. We love you guys. Xx
I'd agree, it is an amazing location, especially with all the activities and being that close to the beach!! Perfect destination to unwind! Bruce and Otis
Thanks both so much for watching. It’s a lovely place 🍻
you two work so hard on your video content i can't understand why your not getting more views and subscribers i hope you crack this soon
Ah bless you. We love making them and fingers crossed we’ll gain some more views and subs as we go along. Cheers for watching 🍻
I have to agree on the North Wales statement- Oh I am homesick now! The caravan looked well equipped and comfortable. It would be too busy for me at the park but I can so imagine it being a family treat. Nice to get a glimpse of Wills and his sister's childhood past. Lovely. 👌🌷🇳🇱🙋♀🇳🇿 😎
Ah thanks Anita. We couldn’t believe how quiet the walk was when the park was so busy. It’s a great base for north wales though. You need to come and visit soon. Cheers 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint I so loved our time in Wales ( too short) and all things being equal would love to come back in not too distant a future. So many places to visit.
very nice location 👍👍
Thanks for watching 🍻
Loved the video. You have such a great energy! Loved the editing and voice over.
Thank you so much for your kind words 🍻
What a fantastic site, with so many things to see and do. We both have many fond memories of holidays to butlins when we were kids. What an amazing thing to give those same memories to families who desperately need them🤩🙌. We will certainly be heading over to the website to make a small donation guys😊👊. That walk by the beach was absolutely stunning 😍 ⛱️ . You are spot on Wills, when the sun shines, Wales is as beautiful as anywhere else in the world🥰. Lovely to see you enjoy spending some time with your sis too! Really enjoyed this one Rach and Wills. Sorry for the late comment, another one of those weeks🙈
Happy Friday guys🥳
Have a great weekend
Shell and Pete😊👊👍
Ah thanks guys. Sounds like you’ve had a similar week to us!! Thank you so much for donating, that’s so kind and every bit really does help the charity. Seems like the suns gone now! That was a lovely day though. Cheers for watching and have a great weekend. 🍻
nice caravan there for a holiday looks much to explore there
*full view 💯😎Au👍thumbs up*
It’s such a lovely site. Thanks for watching 🍻
How could you enjoy yourselves with all those dragons about? All the drone footage really takes the videos to the next level. Didn't know Cleopatra rode an inflatable flamingo around Egypt. Wills spend more time with your sister!
No it was news to us that Cleopatra or abanazaer as she was supposed to be had switched up transport to flamingo! You live and learn. Thanks so much for watching guys 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint 🦩🦩
Wow love to watch its amazing
Thank you so much 🍻
Great stuff ..jokes terrible standard..love it
Haha, cheers 🍻
Wow, Becky and Wills took you to some amazing spots! I wish that mini rail was still running! The whole place was so charming, and that headland is magnificent! Looks like you did a perfect job with the caravan! We have to get out to North Wales one of these days! Thank you for this Rach and Wills!
Thanks Susan, they really did. We had a lovely day out and did something good too. Hope you’re well and we’d love you to visit Wales one day. Cheers 🍻
Love it been there myself
Its a lovely site. Cheers for watching 🍻
been there many times great and clean site
It's immaculate isn't it. It has a lovely feel and great facilities too. Cheers for watching 🍻
@@Mark-c7z1n it is great. We remember it from when it was Butlins
Hi there, another great video from you. Hope you’re both well I do enjoy how are you do your videos very interesting and very informative. Keep up the good work and I hope you’re both well
Thank you so much. It keeps us out of trouble when we’re out and about. Cheers 🍻
OMG 🙌 i can't begin to explain How Awesome the MUSIC, the CAMERA WORK, the EDITING and the VOICEOVER is!!!😍🔥 Your Videos are so Entertaining🥰 and Your adventure are even more!!!💗 I must say that this is an Amaaaazing Video!💜♾️✨
Thank you so much, that’s such a lovely thing to say. 🍻
Hi.Enjoyed watching your video..Where going here in August for few days with our grandson.
Never been befor..Looks good n heard really good reports on it.😊
Thank you. It's a great site and I'm sure you'll all have fun. There's plenty to do, we really hope the weather is kind to you!! Cheers for watching 🍻
Excellent video…loved the drone shots and joke Wills. I’m having a challenge trying to donate to the organization. Maybe you can update a direct link in your description. When the search I find many places…could be user error! ~Cara 😊
Hey both, thank you so much. I think there may be an issue with the links, I’ll check tomorrow and let you know. Thanks again!!! X
That caravan site is amazing, there's so many different activities! And with brilliant weather it certainly would make for a wonderful holiday especially for families with children. I'm used to Australian caravan sites which are just a space to park your van! You stay there for the location.
It’s so lovely and feels spacious and not so ‘on top of each other’ as some sites are over here. We’ve watched lots of vlogs about Australian and USA sites and it does seem to be just a pitch and you use it as your base. Still cool!! Cheers 🍻
Hi all. Firstly what a fantastic caravan, those families are going to have a fantastic getaway. We love Haven sites, stayed at a few now around the country. We stayed here over ten years ago and wow! What a makeover it's had. Looks amazing. Think a few Havens have now gone to Parkdean but Trecco Bay is great (if you go in school holidays). Fantastic walks along the coast and Pendine Sands with its massive beach
You sounds like you know a Haven Site!! Yes, it’s had loads spent on it and it really does look great! We will have to check out the one you mentioned, it sounds an idyllic place. Cheers for watching! 🍻
Nice trip I so need a holiday now lol
We hear ya!! We do too!! Cheers for watching 🍻
Hi both that looks so good since the refurbishment. We drive by it soo often but haven't been in since it was Butlins. The caravans look great near the lake and the headland is fabulous to walk on, beautiful drone footage and the Aladdin show looked fun. The charity sounds great and that super kids caravan you worked on so good and nice to see Wills sister too :)
Been on the Super kids website this morning and it's so interesting reading about the caravan and its background. Is there some way to drop a cash donation off at this site or other local locations 😊? We never do charity giving online ~ Anna 👍🏴🏴
Yes it’s had loads spent on it and is really looking nice these days. We had such a fun day and it’s so good to think how many happy memories that caravan will provide this summer. I don’t know is the answer to the donation! (It’s very kind of you). I believe they toybox appeal at Christmas reaches all the way up to your end of north wales, so possibly donate a toy to that? I’ll find out more and it’s really kind of you. Thank you so much for watching 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPintThe toy donation sounds great and yes if they have any drop off point for cash donations that would be good 👍
looks like fun 🤩
It was such a lovely day and we loved the site 🍻
This was fabulous you guys! Does Wills sister work there at that incredible site! Definitely one of the best Havens we’ve seen! It’s so bizarre we took Nick’s mum out today and she was like, ‘you should film the holiday parks they are very popular 🤣 low and behold you do it Postcard & a Pint Style! Superbly done and that walk was awesome along with great drone footage! Plus you bagged a trig! Loved this, love you ❤️
Ah thank you. No Becky doesn’t work there but has been there and done the cleaning up with Wills mum many times. It’s a lovely site. I always see the ones on the coast road to Rhyl and they’re so on top of each other, this one was beautiful. Cheers for watching 🍻
i go every year with my family and i never get tired of going. lovely place,going next month. June 21 2024
Everything crossed the weather gods are good to you as it's stunning in the sunshine. Cheers for watching 🍻
My favourite haven caravan site. If you fancy another walk, YR Eifl is only about 30 mins away. Definitely worth a visit.
It’s a brilliant site, we loved it. We’ve done Pwllheli beach on another Vlog about the Llyn Peninsula. It’s a really vast beach for sure. Cheers for watching 🍻
Hi, thanks for this. We’re looking to book. Can you tell me how long it took to walk to the nice beach or around the coastal path? Great video xx
We were blessed with a beautiful day. Ok the van we were doing was not too far away from the main gates and the walk to the entertainments hub was about 7 mins - the walk from there over the bridge to the outdoor activities and more restaurants is probably another 5 mins and then the walk to that cute beach probably another 10 - so it depends where you are on the park. If you're on the dragon lake side - about 10 mins - if you're on the swimming pool side - 20/25 mins or so depending on how fast you walk! Cheers for watching 🍻
like wooow nice
Thank you so much 🍻
We have spent quite a few happy summers there when our kids were pre high school. It was always good fun, I always looked forward to going to the go Kart track just outside Pwllheli where there is also bowling, archery and gold panning if I remember correctly.
Like deployed 👍
I believe this site has had so much money spent on it. It certainly looks the ticket these days. Wills and Becky’s memories are from the butlins era too!!! I’d love to go gold panning!!
Cheers for watching 🍻
nice
It’s a beautiful place to visit 🍻
My childhood was spent here at Haven’s over every summer holiday as my mum owned a cavern up on Mountain View. And I’ve not been to the park for over 13 years.
It has changed so much. But it’s nice that they have kept the old train tracks up to the beach. And the building by the lodges, when I was a kid, were kept for broken machines and other bits and pieces. But my mum told me they were old horse stables.
Thank you so much for watching. Mountain View is where the Superkids caravan is, it’s a lovely area. We were really impressed with the site and loved our day there. Sounds like you have many happy memories of times there. Thanks so much for watching and clearing up what the old building was. Cheers 🍻
❤❤❤ Rachel's story time voice ❤❤❤
Haha I like a soft tone
@@PostcardAndAPint it's brilliant!
We r here now in a apartment , it's nice with a balcony , pizza is yum , where abouts is your caravan x
Have the best time. It's not ours, it belong to a charity and we just went to prepare it. It's in Snowdonia heights/view - can't remember!!! Enjoy that pizza, it's lush 🍻
Where exactly to go and how long it’s take for that beautiful view on the see ?
It’s near Pwllheli in north wales. Took us just over an hour from where we live. Thanks for watching 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint thank you
I’m watching this video lying on my bed in a caravan in Havens Greenacres caravan park. It’s very quiet and all I can hear are distant seagulls and the waves on the very close black rock sands beach. Your park looks nice, but I think I like mine more 😉
Sounds idyllic! We love Black Rock Sands, it's a gorgeous beach. You can wave across the bay to Hafan Y Mor too! Cheers for watching 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint it is idyllic (good way to describe it). I generally book the next caravan holiday a year in advance, because the earlier you book, the cheaper it is - I’ve booked a 5 day break for as little as £70 in the past! The only drawback to this year is the fact that the park has culled all the wild rabbit population! ☹️😢
I don't think I've seen a caravan park like it. Amazing. How big does it have to be to have an onsite Burger King? When I was younger I occasionally saw that sitcom about a holiday camp in England, Hi-di-Hi(?), and didn't believe places like that existed. You lot are certainly a weird mob. 😁
A most excellent thing you've done for the charity though!
Hahaha. Yes they do exist and there are lots just like Hi di Hi. Fun fact, I worked with Ruth Madoc in panto a few years back - she was so lovely. Also ended up rescuing her and taking her home when she played Wills theatre a few years later and got abandoned at the theatre!! You’ll have to come over and experience the British Holiday camp first hand - Japan it is not!! Cheers for watching. 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint They really are amazing. I don't think we have anything like them here. Big Caravan parks yes, but they won't have restaurants and entertainment.
The circles you two travel in... I googled Ruth Madoc to see how she is doing these days. Not very well apparently seeing as she died last year. 😥
The structures on the headland are defences from when the park was used by the Royal Navy as HMS Glendower during WW11.
Thanks so much for this. We did wonder. Thats really interesting. Next time we're walking that way, we'll know. Cheers 🍻
Im here rn!
Have a brilliant time 🍻
Itsa very fun plsce defo recommended
It certainly is. So much to see and do 🍻
The concrete left overs are not from the chair lift I searched everywhere and the lift struts were over the golf course I found an old video where the old hut was. And them brick circle things are behind the hut. We just come back from haven I was last here in 93
We think the camp was used in WW2 by the navy, maybe they're something to do with that. It's a lovely walk though along those cliffs. Cheers for watching and we hope you had an amazing time. 🍻
@PostcardAndAPint if you go on Google maps you can see the old building just off the turnaround for the old railway. It's odd how in 93 I remember the chairlift going on it and boomerang but not remember the mini railway.
A friend of mine swears by the place!
I don’t blame him! Cheers 🍻
The camp originally was a Navy training camp, Prince Charles was trained there and the queen once visited it when it was Butlins camp.
Wow thanks for that info. Wills used to visit for the day when he was a kid and always loved it. Cheers 🍻
What grade caravan was this please?
As it belongs to a charity I don't think it warrants a grade? Sorry that's not very helpful! Cheers 🍻
I'm laughing that there was a slim chickins there. When we were in London, my son Weston was having a fit about the fact that they have them here. They are not good chicken restaurants!
Really? We’d never heard of it! We went Papa Johns as the pizza is always good. Thanks for watching 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint my son Trent's first girlfriend at uni was a delivery driver for Papa John's. Now she's getting a PhD in neuroscience at Harvard University 🤣
Debs tried pay the caravan ,didn’t work so we gave you a £15 super thanks to give to the caravan phil
Thank you so much, that is so kind of you!!! We’ll make sure we pass it on. Thank you again and hope that you and Debs are well x
Debs did you a long comment as well but it vanished. We like wills spent a lot happy times at butlins ,one at Barry island springs to mind . We both loved the review ,and what you have done ,we love the haven too. Debs entered a competition quiz at haven ,and they caught her using Google for the answers lol😂.wish we could given you both more phil
The Rollercoaster has gone yes but there is a boomerang at pleasure wood hills in Norfolk 😅
Ah, is there? That’s cool! We do love a good roller coaster!! Cheers for the comment
Has anybody stayed in the signature caravans.are they nice
We haven’t, but the pictures we’ve seen look lovely. Thanks for watching 🍻
How do you book
I think from their website. We were just there for the day getting the caravan ready for the charity. We are going to be staying in another park this year though as so far everything has been done through the haven website. Thanks for watching 🍻
Thank you I have a son with special needs thus would be a wonderful holiday for him.
Well done ❤
@@Cherie-c8m ah ok. The charity that own that caravan are called north wales Superkids and they organise holidays for those in north wales who need holidays or respite holidays. If you're in north wales then contact them, if not, look around some charities where you are, you might find a similar one, or just contact haven, im sure they must have caravans on every site that are fully equipped for all needs. I hope you get sorted. Xx
Many thanks 😊
