We had a lovely time. We booked extremely last minute for 11 nights away as a family at the end of August before back to school. Joan's caravan suited us perfectly for this. Joan was highly responsive and flexible to our needs when booking, and kept in touch to check we had everything we needed. Marina was very kind and flexible in greeting us at the caravan when we arrived. Marina oriented us superbly to the caravan and the park in which it is located. The caravan had absolutely everything we needed, which meant we could just relax and enjoy the time together as a family. Several lovely beaches, Clacton-on-sea pier and a river where we could stand up paddleboard (parking at Deadham) were all within a short drive. We had a blast every day. All the supermarkets located close by meant restocking food and drinks was very easy.The pool on site was good (the children visited it once). There was a playground on site that they enjoyed for a bit each day.For what we wanted, it was perfect. We would visit again.
