Our attempt at being MF!!

Exactly, i think it will work out cost effective in terms of meals etc anyway. We can sit and have a cooked breakfast (avoiding buying lunch out) Also has a better bedroom set up for DD and french doors with decking, BBQ and furniture so we could have outside space too. I can sit out there of an evening with a glass of schloer! DH is very keen so I think I will phone up to upgrade tomorrow. I am really looking forward to the break now and have never been to Devon. We can also have earlier check in too by upgrading, 2pm instead of 4pm which is a lot better.

I'd probably upgrade as well. The last sun holiday we went on the caravan was very basic. We did have a table to sit at around the sofas but an outside area would be so much nicer.

Cath can you tell us where in Devon?

When I went to Park resorts in West Wales a few weeks back, we upgraded to a gold chalet and it had a better view and furniture. It really made our holiday enjoyable. Definetely worth it!

We have decided to upgrade to the platinum caravan for an extra £80. Can have a 2pm check in and we also get a free welcome pack of food and drink which normally costs £35. Have also just seen that we have already been charged £24 for gas and electric but i'm sure I have just read that by upgrading we won't get charged so need to double check that. How MSE is this upgrade becoming! :money:

Grateful we are going to Woolacombe. I have just put it in the route planner and it's predicting 250 miles and a 5 hour 9 minute journey :eek:

Just had a look and we have already paid £24 for gas and electric but in the platinum caravan it's free. I just hope there is one available when I ring up tomorrow!

The upgrade sounds fab - hope you get it! Now I am in the mood to look for a holiday!

Its a fair step from you, I think. We are near South Molton, wave as you go past!

Hope you can walk to the beach, parking is vastly expensive. There are swingboats on the beach and a cute little train ride. The Red Barn is not so tacky as it looks on the outside, but pricey, and checkout Exmoor Zoo, its ace and very MSE - loads of free things once in and not too expensive.

Having said that you prob go there every year!!

Caravan upgrade done. Originally I requested the wrong one and they didn't have any so was going to go for the next one down then realise I was on the wrong page in the brochure. It has cost £105 as they only had one of the newer models left and they are more expensive but it's going to be fab! I will try and post a link

I had Paignton Zoo in mind but hadn't realise there was an Exmoor Zoo aswell. I will have to ckeck that our membership allows us free entry Thank you for that and will be sure to give you a wave!

Any other good places to visit in that area? My friend mentionned Blackpool Sands but not sure how close that is.
