Decided to just have a holiday in UK this year as I don't want to be pregnant abroad but need some help deciding what to do. I've found a caravan park in South Wales that my aunty says is fab. Indoor pool, jungle gym, entertainment every night, clubs for Immi to go to on her own for an hour or so, bowling, mini golf and beach near by. Sounds good, it's £239 for a week. Does anyone know if this is a decent price? I have no idea when it comes to caravan holidays Can anyone recommend anywhere else at this sort of price? Whats the weather like in South Wales end of May? x

Never been to wales but the price sounds good. We have just booked a Monday-Friday break at a holiday park in great yarmouth for £219, thats got entertainment, swimming pool, games room, crazy golf etc...

I am sure the star are doing holidays or £3 you could collect the vouchers and get a nice cheap holiday. Fingers crossed you have nice weather then. I am hopingfor nice weather at the begining of april lol.

Thanks Claire, seems like it's a decent price then.

Char - i collected sun vouchers for those holidays but never sent them off you only get a couple of days and have to pay more for more days and the entertainment stuff isn't included so have to pay extra for that. For my peace of mind I decided to just book something direct as i can't handle all the hidden extra costs.

Snap lol , I collected all the vouchers too but didnt go ahead with it for the same reason. We are going in May too hoping the weather will be good as sometimes it can get quite hot in may

I know i am going with the sun holiday nxt month, for an extra night, entertainment, and a dog cost us £80 for isnt that bad.

I want to go abroad this year never went last year due to bing pregnant too, ohh i went to ireland actually. But there wasnt a beach lol.

I am sure will find a bargin, my OHs parents have a caravan in tywn in wales so prob go there in summer too.

Char

£80 isn't too bad. I think i'm just too cautious
I'm desperate to go abroad but i was in and out of hospital in the last 10wks of preg with Imogen so i'm scared something will happen when abroad.I think i'll just book this Wales holiday.x

aw come and see us!! where abouts you going??

not sure on prices hun, never been on caravan holiday.
Weather here in may... erm last year was really nice I think,

ooh which caravan park is it Shell? Wonder if its anywhere near me and Em? xx

Parkdean - Trecco Bay. Anywhere near? on the map it looked roughly in the Cardiff area if i remember correctly. xx

thats by cardiff I think. aw not that close to us we're further west.

yes its closer to Bridgend but not too far from Cardiff either. A bit far from me and Em though!! Shame xx

Thats a shame. I looked at a park further west as I've been to that area before, but it had no where near as good facilities as this one. x

Well Shell your in luck I can tell you all about it lol! It's in porthcawl which is where we go for the day if were goingto the beachit's about 40 mins from me! Te beach is right by it, the fair is a bit manky and run down but the actual caravan park is lovely. Theres a few pubs onsite and arcades a shop and a fish and chip shop. The indoor pool looks great from the outside never actually been in there though, it looks quite big though and it's in a nice building.

ummmm the weather is a bit hit and miss really generally like the rest of the uk but I would say that pthcawl tends to get th best of it, my mil and fil go every year with their little girl and the grandkids wo are 7 5 and 2 and they absolutley love it x

Great thanks! I think i'm just going to go ahead and book it, i can't find anything better and this park/area sounds good for us.

Yay! Were going to Tenby on our holidays because we got to porthcawl all the time, even in winter (i like flashy lght and chips ) it doesn't seem like a break x

COME AND SEE US!!! I live 10 mins outside!! and helz is 25ish odd mins away!

shell I think you should come further west, we have loads of beaches and they are really nice!! plus loads more to do for kids by us. I think you should xx

I love tenby but couldnt find any good deals for parks around there. Booked Trecco bay now. Altho had to book a wk earlier than i wantedx

quite expensive, there is a park dean one in pendine which is a bit out of here. but still around same area.

you'l have to come down for the day, one day whilst your there hehe x

LisaG and I are going with our LOs to Cornwall in a caravan, its cost about £150 for us all, for 4 nights and that includes all the electric and and entertainment

I did it through the Daily Mail - but if you got it direct from Haven it would be about double at least - so yeh the price you found is not bad at all.

the sun are doing £15 holidays starting tomorrow, we going to look at that.

its easier when the kids are not in school, for a caravan for a week in school holidays you looking around £500, which is silly when the week before school holiedays its £250. but hey thats another rant lol

enjoy the holiday hun, also with the holiday abroad, you might not have gotten health insurance because you had issues in the past, hope that helps with knowing you not going abroad xx

Yeah there is a fair in Porthcawl too! Also if you are up for a walk you can quite easily walk into town from Treco Bay. I used to go to Porthcawl fair quite often when I was younger. There is a good little park by the fair Jungle Jims used to be brilliant for toddlers and splashland is an ok pool, nothing special but ok.

There are a few reasonably priced off site places to eat in Porthcawl too

sounds about right for a caravan holiday i would say x

We are going to Devon Cliffs in June, which is a Haven site. It looks quite good. We have paid about £186 for all four of us xx
