"There is a lot to be pleased about" on a caravanning holiday

Brits looking to make the most of their UK holiday insurance by taking a break a little closer to home will be "pleasantly surprised" by the improvements made to caravanning, one industry figure has said.

Nicki Nichol, head of public relations at the Caravan Club, said: "This really is the year of the staycation."

She went on to say that caravans nowadays are "luxurious" and those that have not been on a caravanning holiday since the 1970s "will be pleasantly surprised to see the improvements and advancements that have been made as regards to functionality and style".

She advised travellers to think about things such as the type of caravan - whether is it one you will need to tow, a static caravan or a motor home - and the size and layout that will be needed.

According to statistics from the club, bookings for caravan holidays have increased by 40 per cent this year.

Some 32 per cent of Brits said they planned to take their summer holiday at a UK destination this summer, a study by Travelodge revealed.
