Touring Caravans

Even if there is only two of you, you may decide the additional space in a 4/5 berth caravan suits your needs better.

Trailer Tents

Looking to trade up from a tent to something a little more easily transportable then a trailer tent could be the thing for you. Easy to tow and put up it takes away the stress of putting tents up in the dark of night or terrible weather. Prices range from Pre-owned £750 and New £3,500.

Folding Caravans

A hybrid of the trailer tent philosophy in that it is easy to tow for first timers and is a great step towards a fully fledged caravan. The solid sides simply lever up to provide you with a fully enclosed cosy caravan. Prices range from Pre-owned £2,000 and New £14,000.

CARAVAN HOLIDAY HOMES

Holiday homes come either in one section (a single unit) or two sections (a twin). Large or small, they are very cleverly designed and a luxury home from home. The typical footprint of a holiday home is approximately 3.7 x 10.5 metres whilst some of the larger, more spacious models, can be up to a maximum of 6.8 x 20 metres in size. With prices starting from just £7,000 for a pre-owned holiday home and £20,000 for a new model, this is a very affordable way for you, and your family, to holiday whenever you like. Homes on holiday parks are not intended for year-round occupation.

LEISURE LODGES

Lodges range from traditional ‘log cabin’ styles to sumptuous contemporary wooden clad designs that harmonise with their natural surroundings. These spacious, well designed lodges can be as large as 6.8 x 20 metres and are very similar to a conventional modern house. The pinnacle in self-catering holiday accommodation, prices start from £65,000 and go as high as £500,000 for stunning lodges in some of the UK's best locations.
