Hi, can you please confirm if there is hot shower on the caravan?Good afternoon, Thank you for your enquiry. The bathroom in the caravan has a shower with hot water. Because the caravan is compact the water heater is smaller than in a house so it is necessary to have a quick(ish) shower. If the hot water does run cold it should take around 10 minutes to heat up again. There is also a wash handbasin and camping toilet in the bathroom in the caravan.

Do you have anything suitable for 4 adults - (one couple and two elderly mums) for 11 febGood morning, Thank you for your enquiry. I am thinking that you would prefer 4 beds in total. All we can offer you are two rooms each with a queen bed or a caravan with 2 singles and a seating area which converts to a double bed Smiles HilaryAnswered on 31 January 2021

Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
