STYLISH STAYS

THE accommodation has moved on with the years — and with up to nine grades of caravan holiday homes sleeping up to eight, you can go as modern, stylish and comfortable as you like.

There are luxury lodges, chalets, apartments, adapted holiday homes, safari and geo-dome tents, Mongolian yurts and touring options at some of today’s parks. Home comforts start with central heating and double glazing.

And they can stretch to hot tubs, wi-fi, en-suite bathrooms, standard single beds, walk-in wardrobes, flat-screen TVs, integrated washing machines and dishwashers, depending on the grade.

Holiday parks will aim to tickle your tastebuds, too, pleasing both foodies and fusspots with lobster lunches to fish suppers. Choose to cook, treat yourself to a takeaway or dine at one of the family restaurants. Tuck in! Everything tastes even better by the sea.

LOOKING for an opulent lodge break? Then check out a five-star lodge park for maximum style, peace and tranquillity.

The Dream Lodge Group parks are close to unspoiled coasts and boast the latest lodges, with mod cons such as iPod docks, DVD players and integrated appliances.

Some have hot tubs on the decking, roof gardens or French furniture. And Norfolk Park is famous for its restaurant, The Olive Tree, set in Mediterranean-style gardens.

SMALLER parks can offer extraordinary value, yet still provide tons to do.

The 14 John Fowler Holiday Parks in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset, for example, are in fantastic locations and offer everything from water walker balls in the pools and upgraded sports facilities, to posh lodges. The latest offers include discounts of between 40 and 55 per cent off summer breaks.
