Self Catering Caravan Parks, Camping & Holiday Parks

Who says holiday parks and caravan sites have had their day! The modern equivalent to Butlins is truly alive and kicking, particularly these days with families working on tight budgets, and looking for that all-inclusive bit of magic to keep the kids occupied. Many can be found on Yorkshire's fantastic coastline around Scarborough and Whitby, but also inland with quieter touring parks and tent pitch space attached to farms.

Well, they may still be wearing red coats, but it's all got a bit more sophisticated on some of these parks, although some still retain their 'Hi-di-hi' feel, and make a really cost effective holiday, especially if you've kids in tow. Holiday parks really are great for kids, with facilities such as swimming pools, clubs and bars, discos, and lots of family entertainment, shops and restaurants on-site and even things like fishing lakes and other outdoor activities such as nature trails.

Holiday parks are always set in idyllic surroundings, either in the country or on the coast and close to local attractions and amenities. Check out the caravan club website at 'caravanclub.co.uk', and 'ukparks.com'.

The advantages of holiday cottage rental is that you are rooted in one place, with all the amenities of home. Amenities do vary from cottage to cottage so it's worth making a list of your specific requirements, rather than just relying on an attractive photograph. Think about issues like accessibility, whether you're bringing a pet, do you have very young children, what exactly is included in the price, will you be located near shops, restaurants or pubs and is smoking permitted? In short, start by working out what your particular needs are before booking.

Idyllic holiday cottages may be perfect in the summer, but isolated in the winter. Planning, knowing your needs, and a bit of general prior research into the local area and it's amenities is definitely the trick to getting your perfect holiday cottage. In Yorkshire expect to find stunning stone cottages, lovingly converted and retaining features whilst providing real home-from-homes with fully fitted kitchens and all modern amenities. Occasionally cottages may be located on working farms, and in Yorkshire are usually found set within the Yorkshire Dales or North Yorkshire Moors.
