Step inside and move straight into the open-plan living area, where the layout keeps everyone connected from the moment you arrive.
Sink into the corner sofa and switch on the TV as the electric fire adds a gentle warmth to the room, creating a natural spot to gather after a day exploring or to ease into the morning with a slow start. Just beyond, the kitchen area is arranged for simple self-catering, where you can set the gas hob and oven to work preparing meals while the kettle boils ready for a brew. With a microwave, toaster and fridge close at hand, it is easy to keep things ticking over whether you are planning a full evening meal or something quick before heading out.
The dining space sits within reach, encouraging shared mealtimes and time spent planning the next outing. When it is time to unwind, the bedrooms provide flexible sleeping arrangements for your group. A double bedroom with a wardrobe offers space to unpack and settle in, while a second double gives an additional place to rest at the end of the day. The twin room, also with a wardrobe, is well suited to younger guests or friends sharing. Serving all three bedrooms is a shower room featuring a spacious walk-in shower, making it easy to refresh and reset before heading out again. Outside of the caravan, the wider park setting brings plenty to fill your time, whether that means making your way to the indoor swimming pool, spending an hour in the gym, or unwinding in the sauna and steam room.
During warmer months, the outdoor pool offers another way to pass the time, while the arcade and golf add options for all ages before returning to Foxglove 4 to round off the day.

Poole offers a different pace with its harbour setting, where you can watch boats drift across the water, explore the historic quay lined with places to eat, and take a trip across to Brownsea Island for a change of scene.
Weymouth brings traditional seaside charm, where you can stretch out on the sandy beach, stroll along the bustling harbour, and visit SEA LIFE to round out a day by the coast.
