Investing in your own holiday home
An increasingly popular way to holiday is at family-friendly static caravan holiday parks. A growing number of these resorts are springing up and many families now choose to buy their very own static caravan so that they have a place in the sun to look forward to whenever they wish. Large holiday parks such as Park Resorts now offer brand new static caravans as well as used caravan sales for holidaymakers on a budget.
When buying your own static caravan, location is one of the most important factors. Remember that you will be returning again and again to this location, so where you want your static caravan located should be a prime consideration.
When deciding on a location, think about the type of holiday you and your family would like to enjoy. Would you prefer the peace and tranquillity of the countryside, and a remote location? Perhaps you would prefer to be within easy reach of the city and plenty of tourist attractions. You’ll find parks that are right on the coast, for those who prefer a seaside holiday, as well as parks that are perfect for woodland holidays with plenty of hiking opportunities.
Also consider the length of time it will take you to reach your chosen location. You may not want to spend too long travelling, especially when you have young children travelling with you. If you want to get real value for money from your static caravan investment, then it’s best to opt for a location that is within easy reach so that you visit your holiday home more easily.
With your preferred locations in mind, you can start to request brochures and compare sites in your chosen areas. Choose your favourites, and be sure to visit each one in person to get to know the facilities there and to get a feel for the place. Consider renting a caravan there before you buy to give you a better idea of whether or not the park is the right one for you.
Before you make an investment as large as this, you should always check over your contract to ensure that you know exactly what your purchase covers. Is maintenance included, for example, and do you need to pay extra to use site facilities such as showers and laundry.
Be sure to check over all of the rules of the park too. If you plan to rent out your caravan while it is not in use, double check that your chosen site allows this. Some sites are pet-free zones, so if you plan to take a pet along with you on holiday, be sure to check that your chosen site allows this too.

The Agatha Christie Festival on the English Riviera
Orient Express Day trips are available from experience days providers like TreatMe.net.
The Middle of September sees this years annual Agatha Christie Festival on the English Riviera. The Festival is a celebration of the “world renowned super sleuth writer” Agatha Christie and features lots of fun and events that have a flavour of Agatha’s world crime writing.
Agatha Christie is synonymous with not only the world of crime writing but also the towns of Brixham, Paignton and Torquay, as she was not only a resident of Torquay, but she was born in the town and grew up and spent a lot of her childhood in the Torbay area. But it was when she married for the second time, to an archaeologist called Max Mallowan in 1930, that Agatha and her second husband decided a few years later to return to the Torbay area and buy a local property called “Greenway”.
Now the Greenway house and estate is in the careful hands of the National Trust, as it was acquired by the trust in 1999, since then it has been restored and lovingly cared for by the Trust and its workforce in the area. It is open on a daily basis during the season for visitors to experience the home of one of the world’s most famous fiction crime writers, plus get a feel for the area and surroundings where Agatha drew on to create some of her finest work.
The annual Festival on the English Riviera will take place from the 11th to the 18th September, with visitors and the loyal fans interested in the world of Agatha will be able to immerse themselves in many places around the town of Torquay and the local area that have been used in Agatha’s stories or places that she sought inspiration from.
The Festival is always a huge success and always draws a large number of people and amateur sleuths to South Devon from all over the world, I’m sure this year’s event will be no exception. The programme of events during the week-long Agatha-fest includes; The Annual Agatha Fête, Vintage Tour Bus Trips to Greenway House, Dartmouth Ferry to Greenway House and Garden, Agatha Christie’s “Verdict”, with the AC Theatre Company at Princess Theatre in Torquay, a Murder Mystery Dining Train, “In Character” lunch at Burgh Island Hotel, Agatha Christie Mile Evening Vintage Bus Tour with Supper, A Birthday Celebration for the Queen of Crime and the AC Festival Finale Candlelit Dinner with Classical Trio, to name just a selection of the events running throughout the festivals’ duration.
So if you enjoy South Devon and you are a fan of crime fiction, this festival is surely a must for anyone interested in the Queen of crime, her stories and where she was inspired her in her life and her books.
