Which Site to Choose | Latest News | Allens Caravans
Allens Caravans

With a range of holiday parks dotted across the UK, you really are spoilt for choice when you choose Allens Caravans. However, this choice can often lead to indecision, with many holiday-goers left wondering which location is best for them.

Practical Considerations

All our parks offer high-quality facilities and easy access to amenities, but there are so many other factors to consider when choosing which of our parks to holiday at, and the most important things to consider are the practicalities.

Home Size

Depending on the size of your caravan, you need to think about what size home you need. This will also depend on how many people are thinking of coming and how much room you’ll need. Ideally, you’ll want to look at investing in a slightly larger home in case you need the extra space. However, remember that prices will vary depending on the size of the home, so you need to consider your budget and how much you can afford to spend.

Keep in mind that you’ll need a bit of extra cash for going out, food and leisurely activities, so the best thing to do is review your budget and the prices offered by different sites. This will help you to make a decision on the best site for you.

Caravan Park Facilities

One of the most important things you need to think about is the facilities that each site offers. For example, you may be looking for a site that offers a nice restaurant, nearby local amenities, and a swimming pool. If this is the case, you’ll probably want to look at a site that is near a town or village that can offer the exact activities you’re looking for, as well as the other facilities you ideally want. However, if you’d prefer something that offers a variety of walks and hikes, it may be worth looking into a site that’s located near the countryside or mountain range.

If you’re unsure of exactly what the park offers, don’t be afraid just to ask. The parks’ customer service teams are there for a reason, and it’s always better to query them before you book to avoid choosing the wrong site for you. Click here to view our luxury range of UK caravan sites now!

Price

As mentioned before, site prices can vary, making it vital that you look into how much you can afford and how long you want to stay. By reviewing your budget in this way, you can set aside a certain amount for each detail and still be left with enough to enjoy yourself on your trip away. It’s worth remembering that time of year, pitch size, and the facilities offered will all have an impact on the final price, so think carefully about each site before making a choice. Again, if you’re struggling to find price details on our website, get in touch to ask what we can offer you.

Type of Holiday

When you’ve settled on the practicalities, the next thing you’ll need to consider is the type of holiday you’re hoping to have.

Water Holidays

If a water holiday is what you’re after, you’re in luck. Many of our luxury caravan parks in Wales and England are conveniently located in proximity to some of the most stunning waterside locations and attractions the UK has to offer.

Swallow Falls, North Wales
North Wales is famous for its stunning natural landscape, with mountains, rivers and waterfalls carved into it over millions of years. Swallow Falls at Betws y Coed and a whole host of other awe-inspiring waterfalls call North Wales home, and they are all in easy distance from our Sunbeach Park.

Overstone Lakes Fishing, Northamptonshire
The fishing facilities at our wonderful Overstone Lakes park in Northamptonshire are second to none, and the accommodation, onsite facilities and natural backdrop are just as, if not more beautiful than anything on offer elsewhere. Plus, this kind of fishing trip is far more practical and cost-effective than some alternatives.

Barmouth Beach, North Wales
Barmouth Beach in North Wales is a beautiful seaside location, with the rugged terrain behind and the crystal blue skies and waters in front. Little fishing boats, water sports, and even marine wildlife make this beach town the ideal spot for water lovers.

Serenity Holidays

If adrenaline-fuelled adventure isn’t quite your thing, our caravan parks offer plenty of ways to relax and enjoy a more serene holiday.

Abbot’s Salford
At Abbot’s Salford, you have the convenience of energetic activities, as well as those that are perfect for winding down in the evening or getting an early start in the morning. For the adventurous types, the park is complete with pitch and putt golf and offers live entertainment in the evenings! On the other hand, you have scenic riverside and meadow walks, and you cannot forget river fishing for more relaxed individuals.

Sunbeach
If you prefer sunset skies and beachfront locations, though, Sunbeach is for you. Not only can adults enjoy a stroll along sandy shores in this tranquil destination, but teenagers can socialise and get involved in the games room on site! There is something for everyone at this park, with a wonderful children’s play area, too, so even teeny tots can make the most of their time away from home.

Bredon View
Bredon View has been designed around nature, which places it as a truly unique park in which tranquillity is guaranteed. Luxury meets nature at Bredon View, with exclusive facilities like a golf course, members’ clubhouse, river fishing, and hot tubs. Experience the beauty of the countryside without sacrificing your home comforts!

More About Our Parks 

If you’re still unsure about which park is the best fit for your requirements, here is a broader overview of our parks.

Worcestershire

With two of our holiday parks residing in Worcestershire (Abbot’s Salford and Bredon View), it’s pretty safe to say that we know this little corner of England inside out! Situated in the West Midlands, Worcestershire is a thriving county that is absolutely jam-packed with wonderful attractions, sights to see, and places to visit.

Some of the most popular attractions in Worcestershire include:

  • West Midlands Safari Park – The ideal family-friendly day out, West Midlands Safari Park has everything a child could wish for, including animals, rides and much more!
  • The Malvern Hills – Perfect for enjoying relaxing walks out in the English countryside, the Malvern Hills span three counties, including Worcestershire.
  • Worcester Cathedral – The striking Gothic architecture of Worcester Cathedral dominates the city’s skyline, but inside, visitors can discover King John’s tomb and a 235-stair tower – certainly not for the faint-hearted!
  • Croome Court – A lovingly restored 18th-century mansion house, perfect for a cultural day out. You can also take a stroll around the accompanying parkland or impressive walled gardens.

Northamptonshire

‘The Rose of the Shires,’ Northamptonshire, is a county in the East Midlands and offers a tranquil setting for your holiday off the beaten tourist track. However, although it may not be as popular as other parts of the country, Northamptonshire certainly does not disappoint when it comes to things to do. When residing at Overstone Lakes, you can experience the following:

  • Wicksteed Park – A family-friendly amusement park, first opened in 1921 by the pioneering Charles Wicksteed. Today, the park trust continues to uphold Wicksteed’s vision of providing a fun place for children to play with approximately 30 rides plus green spaces and plentiful play equipment.
  • The Canal Museum – Situated in the town of Stoke Bruerne, the Canal Museum is next to the Grand Union Canal. Take a relaxing stroll along the canal towpath to complete your visit!
  • Abington Park – Boasting lakes, aviaries, green open spaces, and a museum, Abington Park really has something for everyone!
  • Pittsford Reservoir – The ideal location for a walk, Pittsford Reservoir is located near the town of Brixworth and is also designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
  • Northampton and Lamport Railway – One for the whole family to enjoy, the Railway is a fully operational restored heritage railway.

Wales

Famed for its rugged mountainous landscape and dramatic coastal scenery, Wales is a great destination for those who prefer a more active lifestyle. Whether it’s hiking or sightseeing you fancy, Wales has a wide range of attractions to keep you busy, which you can experience when spending time at Sunbeach or Aber Bay:

  • Snowdon – Of course, this list simply wouldn’t be complete without including Snowdon! The tallest mountain in England and Wales, there are a number of trails up Snowdon, but if you don’t fancy the climb, you can always take a trip up on the Snowdon Mountain Railway instead
  • Conwy – The historic town of Conwy is jam-packed with attractions, from its castle to the UK’s smallest house. Take a stroll around the town and take in the sights!
  • Caernarfon Castle – This dramatic castle overlooks the entire town and tells a rich story of a time long gone. Providing the perfect example of living history, the whole family are sure to enjoy a trip to Caernarfon Castle.
  • Aberystwyth Castle – This is the first true castle built at Aberystwyth and has many names in its time, including Castell Tan-y-castell, Aber Rheidol Castle, and Old Aberystwyth, among others.
  • Amgueddfa Ceredigion Museum – Ceredigion Museum is housed in a beautifully preserved Edwardian theatre. We are situated in the heart of Aberystwyth, near the seafront.
