The Manhattan

This caravan, which we have named ‘The Manhattan’ is situated on plot RW41, which provides plenty of outside amenity space, for playing games or just sitting, relaxing and having a BBQ (BBQ & utensils provided).

The caravan has been recently fully refurbished to a high standard, with new microwave, kettle, toaster, cooking utensils and bed linen. Tea, coffee, washing up liquid, tea towel, and a toilet roll are also provided.

It comes fully equipped with heating to all rooms.

A whopping 26 inch flat screen TV and DVD player can be found in the lounge. There's even a Wi-Fi internet hotspot to keep you connected 24/7, if you want to that is!!

The 3 bedrooms sleep 6 people, with room for 2 more on the fold-down double bed in the lounge area.

Location

The caravan is sited just 3 miles from Cowes at Thorness Bay Holiday Park, on the Isle of Wight.

Thorness Bay is situated on the north coast of the Island and has panoramic views across the Solent.

During August and September it is possible to watch the world famous yacht and power boat races, which start and end just a stone's throw away, from the nearby beach.

For the rambler/hiker, Thorness Bay is situated on the Isle of Wight coastal footpath, and has excellent bus links to the town within a short distance from the Park's reception. There are historical and modern attractions, quaint beauty spots, and of course the many reputable local pubs and restaurants.

Thorness Bay Holiday Park

The caravan is situated at Thorness Bay Holiday Park which extends down to sandy beaches, coastal footpaths and a David Bellamy award winning nature reserve.

The Park offers unrivalled facilities for both adults and children. The young and young at heart can enjoy the adventure playground, swimming pool complex (with flumes), kids club, activity workshops, and the beach.

The grown ups are quite happy too, sitting on the terrace overlooking the sea whilst sipping a refreshing drink. The Park has a liquor licence, but also sells soft drinks and Costa Coffee.

Then at the end of the day take the whole family down to the Boathouse Restaurant for a slap up meal and a night of entertainment in the Regatta View Showbar, you might even spot some familiar famous faces from both TV and stage, in the outstanding live shows.

As well as the on site restaurant and bars, there is also a Park market, which stocks a good range of essentials, and a launderette.
