Church Farm Haven Holiday Park

A large family get together for my granddaughter’s second birthday. We had three vans in a lovely location on the park. Great walks along the beach and an ice cream at Pagham was a lovely Sunday morning activity. My only slight criticism was the lack of baby changing facilities in the swimming changing rooms. And I’m sorry but I’ve got to mention the aggressive appearance of the security staff looking like night club bouncers, checking children’s passes at 6pm! I can see the necessity of security presence but come on, stab vests, hi viz and earpieces? I can remember when Bradly Bear used to welcome you in!

Church Farm is a lovely site right next to Pagham Harbour RSPB nature reserve. Great transport links to the City of Chichester and seaside town of Bognor. A great location to explore West Sussex. Site is very clean and well kept and staff friendly and helpful.

During our stay my family went swimming whilst there someone defecated in the pool the staff shut the pool for 30 mins whilst "cleaning" is taking place for a full decontamination it should be shut for 13 hours minimum. I know this from my cleaning back ground the drains also smelt in the changing area and I don't feel this is cleaned properly or at all .

We stayed in a Diamond Lodge for half term, myself, husband and my 92 year old mum , 2 grandaughters aged 5 and 9. It appeared clean until a closer inspection. One of the showers didn't work but was rectified in a timely manor. Haven you need to check the cleaning is done to a higher standard.

Caravan lovely and clean. All the cooking equipment you need. Entertainment Staff were amazing and so inclusive. Matt at Segway was a really good sport and made the session fun for the children. Activities are good. Food in the Mash and Barrel is good.

I’ve been visiting with my children every year since they were toddlers and they are now in their teens and we have always loved it at Church Farm. But we have noticed standards have dropped. On our most recent visit the swimming pool changing rooms were absolutely disgusting. Muddy, smelly, full of clumped up hair and the no shoes rule not being enforced. Whoever had the idea of a non cash arcade clearly doesn’t understand that the fun of the arcade for children is the cash… and getting the tokens virtually rather than them spewing out of the machine makes the experience so dull and boring. What a shame. We also noticed lots of dog poo around the park. On a positive note, the welcome at the entrance was warm with clear directions of where we needed to go. I’m not sure if we would return after our most recent visit, which is sad to say as we’ve been coming here for years. I’ll keep an eye on reviews to see if they are listening to feedback.
