Parkdean Resorts Valley Farm, Essex

Your jumper! 😂 😂 😂 Did you ever go to Butlins phweli? I was looking at Haven Wales & didn't realise that there were 2 previous Butlins sites :( I watched old footage & spent the entire time bawling my eyes out!
No, I've only been to Bognor (a lot) and Minehead. Skegness is on my wish list one day.
@@KarionTravelling Oh ok. I went to Skegness for an 18-30s holiday when I was 21. Never again & thankfully way too old as I'm way past 30! Gosh that was er 22 years ago!
The pool at Skegness looks fun though! I was probably too inebriated to go swimming back then 😂 😂 😂
@Hayley-dm2je I went to Ibiza in my early 20s, and now we're planning to go again. I love the Butlins Big Weekenders, so hopefully, I can handle a 24-hour Ibiza party. 😉
I went to valley farm in May it it was not like that it was horrible 3 shows a night no starland krew appearances and the entertainment team where completely different when I was there was 2 there and 2 only and there was no photos with the kids no kids entertainment on there it was the worst one I went to
Was that in the May half term? I wonder if it's different out of peak breaks or if they had someone off sick. Have you been to Highfield Grange? That's probably the best Essex Parkdean we've been to so far.
This channel is amazing 👏
Thank you very much, that's always lovely to hear and much appreciated. 😊
Great to see another video from you
Thank you ❤️. I have some exciting ones coming up, too.
small but perfectly formed, wish i was in one right now.. one thing often missing is a pizza cutter! I take mine with me now 😊
I find graters are hit and miss whether you get one too, so we take our own. We tried to cook pizza in the caravan once, and it took over an hour, I don't find the oven gets hot enough so we mainly use the hob. 🙂
@@KarionTravelling We had one burnt before the other even started cooking 🤭
@discodiva8879 we had pizza, French fries and garlic bread, all should have taken the same amount of time, but the pizza was still cold and the garlic break was burnt🤦🏻♀️. We take an air fryer now.
I’m going there and I already have the lobby is beautiful with the big giraffe they have glowing in the middle
@Surae_playzz it's lovely. I like going up to the second floor and watching the Wanyama area through the telescope
We've just got back from here and they didn't have soft play 😔
Thank you for the update. I think a lot of the Havens had removed soft play now, which is such a shame because they're great for little ones.
Oooh free cheesy puffs! Yummy! 😋
@@Hayley-dm2je ha, cheese puffs are OK, but they're no beef Monster Munch. 😊
@@KarionTravelling Anybody reading this, please feel free to leave some freshly scattered beef monster munch as they're Kari's favourite arrival snack! Hehe
😆😆
@@KarionTravelling You'll be pleased to know that Lidl xxl bag of beef monster claws are £1.79! You'll never be short of your favourite beefy, munchy monster snacks! 🎉 👾 😋
@Hayley-dm2je that might last me five minutes 😉😉
Went on it a few times
❤️
I went on it ❤
@@Snowypoli did you like it?
@@KarionTravelling yeah I went with my bestie for her birthday but she didn't like when it went back bit it was one of my favourite rides ❤
hi there the entertainment, was not than good we Only saw sparky. i hope when you goo back to Parkdean we can see all the Starland Krew
The smaller parks tend to only have one character. Sometimes, they visit other parks for a change.
Nice share of this resort
Thank you 🙂
Please try Welcome Holiday Park = Dawlish Warren Devon
We haven't been to a Welcome Holiday Park yet, so I will look into this. We like trying new places 🙂, thank you for the suggestion.
I do go to Valley Farm a lot when I was a Kid a lot of time, but I don’t go there any more
@@SkylineGangFan1 has it changed much?
@@KarionTravelling Yes it back in 2020 because it used to have some really nice retro arcade games, but now they removed all of the retro game with traditional and new games including a lot of VR machines there was one retro game that was the star my favourite Arcade game
I like visiting resorts we haven't been to for a few years, to see how they've changed.
@@KarionTravelling Last time I came to Valley farm was back in October 2022 and my favourite Starland Krew character was Sparky because he has a very clever shirt
@@SkylineGangFan1 we like Narky and Sparkle, depending on what kind of day we're having 🙂
@ 14:02 Really looking forward to seeing a Travel First Aid Kit from you Jon. Been putting together a small/basic kit for one bag travel so I’d be really interested in seeing what would make it into yours. Thanks
What do you have in your one day travel kit?
We stayed in this exact one few weeks ago, did the outside flood when having a shower and was the hot tap in bathroom wobbly , and the frying pan was very greasy but it was lovely n quiet
It was a few years ago now, so I don't honestly remember. But I know it rained hard all weekend, so I possibly wouldn't have noticed. I've had a few greasy pots and pans in the past though, we have a bag of cleaning products that we always take, that's helps to make sure everything is clean and tidy before we use it. 🙂
What! A dishwasher I need it be cause I'm to lazy to wash them! I'm traveling to haven tomorrow I can't wait 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
@NikitaSangany I hope you have a brilliant time. We've had a bronze with dishwasher, but I don't think they come as standard yet - but the newer ones seem to have them.
My parents used to have a caravan on this site back in the 70s when it was privately owned. Just a shop small arcade clubhouse & chip shop then
I think it's changed yet again, and now it's an Away Resorts park.
Why are they asking for a £20 charge for access to our van
I've not heard of that before. You're best off asking reception/guest services.
Thank you for the video and thank you for the instructions how to find the exit, I had a trouble to find the exit as I turned on the left which o should have go to the right so I'm going to premier inn at north terminal tomorrow to get ready for my flight on Wednesday morning just before lunch time. I can't wait!
You're very welcome. I hope you have a safe flight if you're flying out, and a lovely stay at the Premier Inn, it's one of my favourites. 🙂
We are in one of these now and they are dirty and very run down with mould in bathroom window frames rotting the whole place needs to be refurbished. For the price very disappointin. One restaurant we went to the cups and plates were dirty( plates still had baked beans stuck on them) bins outside were overflowing.The entertainment seems to repeat itself every 4 days, so book a show Saturday it gets repeat Wednesday and Thursday. Stephen Mulhern is only on for 40 mins ( thought it would be a longer show seeing he is the main attraction) and as soon as the show ends the venue closes within 15 minutes. Would no recommend Butlins too pricey for what you get. Very disappointing all round.
I agree they need to invest in accommodation as it's very old now. I would have done that rather than build the new Xperience centre. This is why I also avoid peak holiday time. It's too busy, and I don't think it's as good value for money as off peak. But I appreciate that a lot of people have no choice.
hi did you see my holiday vlogs and when are you going back too parkdean
I've just watched a couple, you'll be after my job next 😉😊. I'm currently editing a Parkdean video, I hope to have it up this week.
@@KarionTravelling hi thank you i trying too be like you i going too haven Haven Cala Gran Holiday Park on Fryday 6 September unitll monday 9 i will try and film Seaside Squad Jaz, George, Annie and of course Rory. did you like my parkdean Entertainment. vlog keep Watching i will put more soon. 💖💖
Hi Kari! Hope you're well & enjoying the sunshine? I'm thinking of booking a break to Minehead as feeling desperately nostalgic. I know the chairlift etc has been removed, but I can't seem to find out if the rapids are still going in the pool? Is it worth travelling all that way? I've found a pretty good mid-week deal in a few weeks time :) Thank you x
It's much bigger than Bognor, if I were to go again, I like the look of the bungalows. It's weird because it's familiar, but not at the same time. I wouldn't go for less than a week, purely because of the distance away from us.
@@KarionTravelling Yes that's true. It's about 4 hours by train from Portsmouth & then an hour & 20 mins by bus too, so I'm not sure I can be 'bothered' to travel so long when I've already booked the winter wonderland break at Bognor this year :) The steam train looks fun though & the bungalows look cosy too :)
I don't think Minehead has great links for public transport, especially the train. Have you been to Skegness? It's still on my wish list, but with so many great places to visit, it's hard to justify a long drive and the price in school holidays.
Can I take a bottle of wine?
@hybridangel3403 I think it should be compulsory to BYOB. I would take two, just to be on the safe side 😁
What your fav hotel
That's hard because they all have their plus points. The Wave apartments have a great view and plenty of room, and the Ocean is close to the fair, splash and spa. My favourite is probably the Shoreline, but in the Neilson staterooms.
I think the wave is better than the ocean
I like the Wave, it's got nice theming and the kids' room, with the porthole, is really fun.
@@KarionTravelling whats your fav
@@alexstours824 I really like the Neilson Staterooms at the Shoreline.
I would be very happy with this ,very good quality,considering it,s classed as a saver.
They're great for a couple, or family with small children. We found them a little bit of a squeeze with three adults and a child, but they're modern and warm, and I would happily stay in one again. 😊
Really informative and articulate review. I really appreciate how you don't waffle on just to fill the space lol Yours are some of the best holiday reviews on RUclips.
Thank you, that's lovely to read. The resort has changed a bit over the past few years and it will be time to do a new video later this year when they finish the Xperience centre.
I am travelling now to one and am so excited btw love the v8d❤❤😊
Thank you. I hope you have a great time. I'm sure you will because they're lovely and the nicest caravan I've stayed in so far. 😊
Thank you x
You are so welcome
This is one of the better Premier Plus rooms. It should be understood NOT ALL Premier Plus rooms have walk in showers. Basically, ONLY the hotels built in the last couple of years have them, e.g, Dartford and Faversham, where they've built the rooms from scratch, with the hotel. All the others, e.g. Farnham, Cockermouth, are merely retro-fitted with some Premier Plus additions, but, crucially, as far as I'm concerned, DO NOT have the showers! They still have the old baths, with pimped up rainfall shower, attached to the old shower head, and are useless. My view is, if the rooms have the walk-in showers, they're worth the extra money. If they're just the pimped up baths, NO. The mini-fridge, btw, is pretty small...
That's worth knowing, we've recently stayed in a Travelodge super room, and people seemed to like having a bath. I like them for the kids, but I prefer a PI plus shower personally.
A good, clear, concise, caravan commentary Kari.
Thank you very much 🙂
Not going to Portaventura park or Ferrari land this year
Is there any reason, or did you just fancied a change?
@@KarionTravelling personal reasons as well as having the time
@@DavesAdventures I'd like to go for Christmas, for a few days, we loved Halloween and I'd like to see what festive things they bring out.
I remember this event we also stopped at the Shark cabins as well during oktoberfest in September at the time we did attractions source Southern screamer event plus managed to touch hyperia supports
I would do the special events again. I think it makes the day a little different. A bit more themed food would have been good.
Now this is the video I’ve waited so long to see! TBH, I think PI are better than Travelodge but I still think Travelodge are great and get the job done!
@SamuelTaylorAckroyd sorry its taken so long 😁. There is very little difference in the Tl super room and the PI plus room - apart from the price.
I have stayed in many Travelodge hotels across Wales and England. Always nice to stay in. On site restaurant do provide a good selecting of food. How every I not a fan of mirrors and chairs in hotel room where I sleep.
I think there has been a mirror in every hotel room I've stayed in in the last few years, I guess they come as standard now.
Hi Kari! I was starting to miss seeing you in your videos & then this popped up! :) so big hello to you all. Hope you're enjoying your holiday! Your hair looks lovely & your pink nails didn't go unnoticed either! You can get some good deals on these rooms. It feels extra special to have hot chocolate & biscuits, which I especially appreciate as don't drink tea or coffee & yes the beds are very comfortable too! :)
@Hayley-dm2je awww, its been a manic few months away. Hopefully, now I'll be able to get videos out every week, but I said that last year, too 🤦🏻♀️.
@@KarionTravelling The Butlins winter wonderland breaks are a little cheaper now, so I may have accidentally booked one which I'm really looking forward to! :) Hopefully see you there! 🎉 🍕 🥗 🍰 🎶 🕺🍿 🐻 🍳 🤶 🎠 🏊 😊
@@KarionTravelling Hopefully a good few manic months away?
I'm glad to hear the prices are coming down. I was looking at the Halloween ones, and they were a little ker-ching. I hope they do the Father Christmas Express Delivery again this year, even without a kid, it's worth booking just to look at the theming.
Yes, I just need to catch up on my editing now.
Fantastic timing just looking at booking a room. Keep up your brilliant blogs x
Fab, the video fairies must have known 😉😆😆
Hi, we don't normally stay in travel lodge but Monday night we stayed at Okehampton Sturton Cross travel lodge and it was really nice , there's 3 of us and had 2 single beds and a king size for £65 ,
There used to be a big difference between Travelodge and Premier Inn, I think now they are much more similar. 🙂
I am going butlins today
I hope you have a great time. I've got friends there this week, and they've said it's busy, but plenty to do.
@@kayciewills3621 do they have Electric fan in there? Just wondering if I should bring my own little fan when I go. Thanks.
@RandomLoveFlupp I would take your own. They don't come with one, and in hot weather, the hire shop runs out quickly.
Ty i am going tomorrow so this is helpful
I hope you have a great time, the weather is looking good for next week. Studio 36 is open again, but some of the paly parks are still being renovated.
Love this explainer, nice and simple and everything I need to know. One thing that confused me is a friend stayed there recently and his room was entirely different, looked more modern. But he said it was one of the cheapest.
They may have refurbished them, or maybe he was given a plus room - did he have a coffee maker?. I know T2/3 has been completely redone since we were last there.
I have just booked a three bed Gold caravan in Lakeland Lake District, so glad you liked it. Hope we will too.
I'm sure you will, we were very impressed with ours, and I honestly didn't want to leave.
Hey would a saver Carvan fit a travel cot in the main bedroom ?
Depends on the model, but generally, I would say no. Especially in the three bed caravans.
@@KarionTravellingThank you, do you know if you can choose your location of van after you have paid for holiday or do you have to do it before you pay ?d
I think most parks have the choose your holiday home option if you have booked direct. If you log in to your online account, there should be the option to pick where you would like to stay, the price, and also if you wanted to upgrade, how much that will be too.
Going in 17 days!! Whats the campervans like?
Which grade are you staying in? I have videos on all of them, they vary slightly from model to model, but will all meet the required criteria for that grade.
I am looking forward to revisiting Seaview, after previous visits in 2018 & 2019. Love the walk from the site to the beach. Entertainment and facilities on site are great. Great park, too, shared with the neighbouring site. Oh, and not forgetting Weymouth just up the road!
I've heard that you can't share facilities with Weymouth Bay anymore, but I haven't conformed it.
Hello’s I’ve just booked this apartment for 5 people for August I was going through and realised there was no mention of car parking for the seaside apartments. Coming from Oxford and driving what do you suggest we do please? Thanks
@ALEXANDRABOAMPONG parking for the Seaside apartments runs parallel with the beach, behind Studio 36/the Skyline. It's first come, first parked. They provide trolleys and if there is overflow parking around the Splash. You'll enter by the main entrance and be directed towards your drive thru. There is plenty of parking, it's just 5-10 minutes walk from the apartments.
@@KarionTravelling Ohh thank you. I was getting worried. Thanks
The mascots redesigns look worse
I can see why they had a makeover, but I preferred the old shows - the new ones heavily rely on screens.
@@KarionTravelling that's good too hear!
hi there i put on some Parkdean Ty Mawr ones on and are you going too parkdean soon and can you say hello too me on your next vlog is still me Callum and i going too haven 3 night weekend on fryday untill monday in September we off to Martin Mere.
