[@KarionTravelling]

Thank you. I really appreciate your support 😊

really pleased to see your videos back i've recently been to haven church farm with the grandkids first time i've been to haven for about 10 years and i was quite disappointed only managed to get 1 session of swimming booked virtually all the activities we're fully booked and we thought the few we did manage to do were really expensive not many free activities included also the arcade was cash less which sort of took a bit of fun out of things as you had to charge a plastic card to use most of the machines are all havens like this now if so think i'll go back to parkdean xx

[@KarionTravelling]

We had a similar problem there. And their pool is tiny so spaces are limilted. If you can get on a ranger walk, it's great because of the lagoon. But places went really quickly. The resorts are doing less and less included activities, even Butlins is pushing a lot of the pay extra facilities now.

@KarionTravelling we went as its near to where we live and didn't want to travel too far the guy at the booking place said the seaways and nerf wars are normally booked upto 6 months in advance so we had no hope and owners are given priority x

[@KarionTravelling]

@sunstar5950 that's ridiculous. You can't be expected to know what you want to do 6 months before. Even Disney is only 3 months, and I plan that like a military operation.

hi Wow. Kari Highfield Grange Looks amazing. The entertainment looks very good I'm a big fan of narrky Jess looks very good at smiling at the camera by behind him. It's a pity I can't go because I live in the Greater Manchester area would be too far. I been to Parkdean for many many years. Hopefully there will be another video of Parkdean before the end of this year. have another live stream? I love to talk to you. The first time I went to Parkdean, I remember I was three years old. I was at Sundrum Castle Holiday Park ,in Ayrshire It was Maxine Multi and Millie. They were my favourite mascots but still like the starland krew And you know a little secret I could do a voice of sparky and narrky If you want me to do the voice of those two lovable characters, let me know and I'll do a video of it. Every time I go to Parkdean I always do their voices at the Staff Entertainment at Gobsmacked. 🤩

[@KarionTravelling]

Aww thank you. I think there is only one more Parkdean video now, but that is an accommodation tour, not a vlog like this. We've been travelling abroad more this year, but that doesn't mean I've given up on caravans by the sea, I'm sure I'll be in one again soon. 😉

[@tinymouse.travel]

I was just thinking the caravan looked like a Haven saver caravan and then you said it. It's exactly the same layout as the Haven Saver caravan I stayed in at Devon Cliffs but they had a cabinet under the TV

[@KarionTravelling]

Yeah it was the same layout qe had at Church Farm. I'm sure something should have been in that space. Even a coffee table would have been useful. 🙂

Hiya, lovely video! just wondering is that a sofa bed in the caravan

[@KarionTravelling]

Most of the caravans we have stayed in, that were company owned, had sofa beds. But they weren't the most comfortable, and they were in the lower grades, as the higher grades are more likely to have free standing furniture.

@@KarionTravelling wonderful thank you just wondering we’re travelling in a few weeks and my younger brother is heavily autistic and doesn’t like sharing rooms so I was gonna sleep on the sofa bed I’m not fussed with comfort so as long as it has one we’ll be grand

[@KarionTravelling]

@MayhemRecords I can't be certain as they are all different. But I would say I found the sofa more comfortable than the sofa bed, the times we have needed to use the living room.

[@OutandAboutWithDavid]

Good to se your reviews. 0:25 The TV looks a bit high. Caravan could do with a but of decoration. 3:10 Not really a owners bar, Time out is over 18 or 25 years venue and for guest. 7:30 The chippy prices looks above average, the quality could be better.

[@KarionTravelling]

Thank you, I couldn't find the information on the map about Timeout. If we go back I'll have to go and check it out. The caravan was nice, but like you said, it needed a bit of decoration or something to make it feel really homely.

Were you in the Army? Pirbright - 2014 ... Sword? Wonder if it is you or mistaken identity?

[@KarionTravelling]

No, not me. I had an interview for the Intelligence Core during my A Levels, though. I decided against signing up back then, but many years later, I married a soldier instead. 😊
