Canvas or Tompson Al Fresco at Duinrell in Holland??!!

jamski07

Hi all.

Need some help with this by this evening if poss, here's the problem. We love caravan holidays and have found a great place in Holland we really want to visit. There's 4 of us now with a 4 year old a 2 month old! We've been to France with Canvas before and had great times, but they are coming out a lot more expensive this time round.

They have an amazing Caravan, the best they have but will cost us £650 for a week which is more than we want to spend. Even their 2 bed or not so good 3 beds are going to be £500ish.

Tompson Al Fresco 2 bed we can get for £366!

Can anyone help at all? We have the expensive Canvas one on hold until tonight, so need to make a decision. They wont reduce the price at all as they only have the one caravan left.

Thanks all,

James.

Hi
This October will be my EIGHTH trip to Duinrell. I've been with Keycamp, Eurocamp and Canvas. Not stayed in a Thomson van, but I have seen them around and know the location.
The pivotal thing is when are you going?
We're back out there in a top of the range Canvas Millenium- same as we had last time- but that's because there will be anything up to 5 adults and a teen, so the extra elbow room is nice. They are really, really nice caravans- I could live in one happily.
However...at Duinrell, you're unlikely to spend much time in the van, so you may not get to appreciate it.
DD has booked the Miffy caravan for Oct (two family groups) as they will have a toddler and a tiny tot, similar to yourselves. It's entirely geared to young families, and if it's available to suit your times I'd say go for that one, as the baby facilities will be invaluable.

Thanks for the info. This is a bit of a last minute thing. We weren't expecting to be able to go away, but we can. So it's from the 21st of this month for 1 week. Eurocamp don't have anything for 7 nights from that date.

So what about the location of the caravans? Are they all much of a muchness? Any thoughts on what you know of Tompson there? THink we will go with them. Can't justify the extra £300!

We've just booked with Al Fresco. Was the only option really, £300 is just too much to justify booking with Canvas.

Have you looked at booking direct? EUR439 (£357) for a 4 person Duingalow (ie chalet) for a week from 20 June.
