Are you on the lookout for somewhere different for a holiday this summer, for a main holiday or perhaps a short vacation? Have you thought about holiday home rental in a countryside park? Caravan vacations have come a long way from when a holiday meant hiring a cramped caravan near the beach that some of us remember from our childhood. Up to date caravans are cozy and roomy with all the luxuries you need in a holiday home, some have King sized beds, en-suite facilities, flat screen TV with SKY or Freeview and are located in beautiful countryside, frequently by a river or lake. Or, if you’re looking for the ultimate in luxury and convenience you might consider a modern waterside lodge, these large holiday homes are ideal for a family, giving you all the room you could want.
Renting a holiday home in a UK park for a weekend or longer will give you all the facilities you require for an English countryside holiday. These caravans and lodges are generally fully equipped with modern kitchens, comfortable lounges, two or three bedrooms, frequently with en-suite bathroom in the main bedroom. They often have a private deck with table and chairs, you may well be overlooking a fishing lake, so you could fish right off the deck.
UK holiday parks have a lot of recreational facilities, especially for the holidaymaker, including, amongst many others, bars and regular entertainment, shops and facilities for fishing. These parks could be an option if you like traveling to the countryside but also need modern facilities and entertainment, there are often supermarkets and launderettes on the parks, as well as restaurants and takeways if you would like complete rest and no cooking for a week. A most important part of being able to relax and enjoy your holiday is having the ability to keep the children entertained so look for a park with plenty of facilities for younsters, maybe a swimming pool, paddle boat hire etc.
One such holiday park is Billing Aquadrome in Northampton. This is a large park set in beautiful countryside with the River Nene running alongside and several lakes inside the park. During the summer you’ll find ducks, geese and swans and their offspring everywhere. You might want to fish in one of the lakes or the river, take a train ride around the main lake, have a go in a go-kart, play adventure golf and take a giant bubble out on the lake to ‘walk on water’. You can swim in the large indoor swimming pool in the newly opened Leisure Complex then have lunch on the deck overlooking Billing Marina. In the summer events are held in the park, one of the most popular being the Balloon Festival and American Car Show at the end of August.
