    Is Skegness really the worst seaside town in the UK? 👉 ruclips.net/video/TeIChKEU5yI/видео.html

    Absolutely love a caravan holiday! Something so nostalgic and warm feeling about them. I’ve spent so much money on fancy lodges over the years and last year we went on our first caravan holiday as adults and had just as much fun for less than half the price! And they’re almost always by the sea so there’s always something to do! Great video as usual!

    In my opinion, the best value caravan holidays are either Haven or Parkdean - I would usually go with Parkdean - The caravans are always clean, their entertainment centre js great with loads of activities.

    Thanks for your video. Being too tight to pay £300+ for three days in a caravan ☺we often take the tents out of season and still have a nice time. Skegness camping fees are around £20 for a good site. Interesting what you said about Three UK in the video - and you nailed it. On a much better network we save loads on mobile ISP costs - and that's with a throwaway PAYG sim.

    Did statics when the kids were young ( wouldn't fly now they are older especially things like no WiFi) and loved it! Great value even if they weren't in the best places. Norfolk is my nearest coastal area, Hunstanton, Skegness etc. But it's unfortunately not a patch on Cornwall, Devon etc. Nice for a weekend by the sea, but more than that it is pretty boring.

    Me and the muissus took the young un for a caravan holiday last month and we was as surprised as you mate. We’d never booked a static caravan before and thought it would be bog standard but ours was pretty much the same as yours by the looks of it barring the full size fridge freezer. It was a saver caravan too which made us skeptical but turned out to be really nice!

    • @gazza9463
      @gazza9463 Год назад +1

      Saver caravans are Havens basic model.
      Next step is Bronze , Silver, Gold and finally the range topping Signature models.
      Haven let you take your dogs to the first 3 models.
      Which means with my dogs , I go for the Silver model as I like the veranda and large patio doors, which are a godsend on very hot days.
      Some of the Silvers also have a full en suite in the master bedroom .
      The least you will get is a toilet and sink in the en suite.
      Just had 5 days at Havens Marton Mere site near Blackpool.
      Skegness is booked for April next year in another Silver model.

    • @Liam-qr1tc
      @Liam-qr1tc Год назад

      @@gazza9463 They’re not a bad holiday firm really are they. We’d opted for the saver just cause we planned on just sort of staying on the night in the caravan and going on little adventures throughout the days we had there. We’d noticed you could bring your dogs too when we’d got there and was gutted we didn’t although like you said a silver or something would have been more practical for bringing dogs and stuff. We wouldn’t have had space really for our 2 in the one we got but if we go again I rekon we’d pay a little more for the space to do so. But yeah we’d definitely go again like! Ours was primrose valley up near Filey and just down the road from Scarborough so there was plenty to do if you don’t fancy staying at the caravan site for the full trip

  • @christinebutterfield8800

    You can pay for Wi-Fi at reception which is run by coastfields and the reason why you check out like that is because they are privately owned caravans the site only rents them with the owners permission not the other way around

    Oh this brings back memories! Me and my family used to once a year go to a Haven park, and stay in a caravan that we rented. Usually they had a wrap around veranda (balcony) and was a 3 bedroom platinum caravan, bassically the nicest onces you could get. We would usually stay from Mon-Fri, but sometimes we did do a full 7 day week that would be really unhealthy for me having a Burger Kind every single night... Yes, I'm not joking but I guess it was alright as I loved doing the party dances in the showbar afterwards anyways.
