Our Abi caravan was new in 2009 and has 3 bedrooms, central heating, double
glazing, all mod-cons and home comforts
Graded
GOLD by BUTLINS itself!
I chose this caravan after looking at quite a few similar makes and models.
This one felt right the minute we stepped inside and offered us what we needed
as a family to make it our perfect second home
 | There are 3 bedrooms & 6 beds (4 single & 1
double). We can take bookings for up to 6 people plus travel cot (to 8 by
special arrangement) |
| The living room and kitchen is open-plan meaning
there is room for a travel cot too and feels more spacious and less 'hemmed
in' when lots of people are inside. There is a double sofa-bed in the lounge |
| The doors and fittings look more luxurious so it
feels more like a home than 'just a caravan' |
| There is room for all home comforts for all of our
children and for us (we have 9 children ranging from 0-teen!) - TV, microwave, oven, freezer,storage for toys and games |
| It's 36' x 12' so just perfect in width and length
(10' caravans feel far too narrow I find) |
| There is a breakfast bar which overlooks the eating
area meaning there is room for everyone to eat together (if they want to!) |
| There is a lovely view of the hills in the
distance to the front |
| It's far enough from the on-site lake not to be a
danger to small children - and yet near enough for you to go fishing (licence
and rods needed) or feed the many ducks |
We chose the pitch because it's tucked away at the back
in a nice private corner which backs onto conservation area and allows our
children to have room to play and make dens when they want a rest from the fun
of Butlins and the beach.
It's also a nice retreat for us oldies when we want
some peace and quiet and want to get the children to sleep! (Some noise can of
course be heard when there are major concerts on - but we don't get the passing
traffic or noise from people returning home in the evening or at 2am!)
Our caravan is cleaned and maintained by Butlins
itself. They should be notified of any problems immediately if applicable.

This is our second home and as I have so many children of all ages I can
usually lend you what you need so you can leave bulky or heavy items at home.
All I ask is that you respect our property and leave it in the condition in
which you received it
Our caravan has almost everything needed to make your stay as comfortable
and easy as possible (I say almost because we do ask that you bring your own
duvet covers, sheets. towels and pillow cases (and dishcloths)
We also provide information on things to do in the local area for when you
want to 'get out and about' and useful information such as local shops and
good places to eat (which will be updated each time we visit!)
Wi Fi is also available so bring your laptop! (Additional charges apply
-it's a BT Openzone area)
Our caravan is available to non-smokers as we want to keep it smelling nice
and fresh for our guests with children
Our caravan has
| A cooker and Oven with cooking utensils and pans |
| Plates and crockery and cups and glasses (break-proof ones too for your
littlies!) |
| Microwave, kettle, toaster and cork screw (the most important thing of
all!) |
| Fridge and table top freezer (we couldn't do without the latter we
found) |
| Duvets and pillows are provided (but you must bring your
own sheets, covers and if your child wets the bed then
please ensure you
have a way of protecting our mattresses and duvets) |
| LCD TV with Freeview, DVD and games console with a
selection of games left by my children (these will vary) |
| Picnic tables for outside dining |
| A selection of toys and games (we ask that no playdough,
pens or felt tips are brought into the van for use by children) |
| Buckets & spades and beach toys for the summer months |
| Basic cleaning equipment so you can help keep it looking
new |
| Electricity included and central heating included in cost
from October to April (other dates by agreement) |
| Passes to Butlins for your party for the duration of your
stay |

needed! |
Optional Extras we can provide to make your stay easier
are
| Highchair, baby bath, stroller to suit your needs (please
ask in advance and store in your car if applicable
as there will just be a
basic buggy there otherwise), bed rail, travel cot,
baby cot, potty, toilet seat |
| Steam sterilizer as they are a pain to pack! |
| You can even order clothes to use from www.milliemoos.com
or www.amalaika.com to save you
having to pack! |

ask as we can probably provide it |
