PARKS WELCOME NEWLY-HITCHED CARAVAN LOVERS

Holiday caravans are the new hideaways for honeymoon bliss-on-a-budget, according to the Best of British holiday-parks group.
Following a poll of its 50-plus members, many parks reported an escalation in bookings from young couples checking-in straight from their wedding reception.
What is attracting them are the space, comfort and privacy – without the crippling prices a luxury hotel would charge.
According to Best of British - a consortium of independent holiday parks with top quality gradings - many of its members now pitch themselves directly at the newly-wed market.
For example, at Woodovis Park in Devon's Tamar Valley, couples are offered a range of heavenly honeymoon options including cosy "glamping" pods and luxury spa treatments.
At Stroud Hill Park in Pidley, Cambridgeshire, there is even a stunning timber-built barn for wedding receptions, and a shepherd's hut on the side of the adjacent lake for use by honeymooners.
‘We think that this spring could see more couples than ever making a romantic start to their married lives on our members' holiday parks,’ said Best of British chairman Claire Jeavons.
‘Young lovers can enjoy some great benefits - such as a much more intimate and peaceful environment than a busy hotel, and no danger of being overheard in adjoining rooms.
‘There's also more space in a caravan holiday home than even a large hotel suite, and of course you don't have to hang a "do not disturb" sign outside the door,’ said Claire.
