There is a choice of accommodation on Best of British Parks – you can take your tent, touring caravan or motor-home or, if you prefer, you can book a caravan holiday home, chalet or lodge on the park – the choice is yours!
A holiday home of your own Why not consider buying a holiday home on one of our parks – and take a break whenever it suits you. Modern caravan holiday homes are extremely comfortable, well designed and fully furnished. They also feature all the mod cons you're used to having at home and make a relaxing haven whenever you need a break. Look for the symbol which shows the parks with holiday homes for sale and you could have a holiday home of your own on the ✔ park of your choice – and enjoy holidays in your home-from-home. Please note that the holiday homes on these parks are for holiday use only and not for use as your sole residence. Contact the park you are interested in for dates of their season.
