Caravan With Decking, Manor Park, Hunstanton

This is a modern caravan with its own decking on Manor Park, a holiday park on the edge of Hunstanton that sits within walking distance of both the beach and the town's shops. For anyone bringing a dog, that walkable position matters: the day does not have to start with a drive, and the decking gives the dog somewhere to settle outside without leaving the pitch. It earns a 4.4 out of 5 paw rating.

Dogs are accepted here on clear terms and the charge is not built into the nightly rate, as the policy notes below set out. Guests travelling with dogs are consistently positive about the space itself: the van is larger than expected, comfortable, and generally spotless on arrival, with the shower drawing particular praise.

The recurring complaint from dog owners is specific and worth planning around. There is no vacuum cleaner in the van, so guests coming back from the beach with a sandy dog have found no way to clean up after themselves, and several have said they would rather have left the van as they found it. Bringing a brush and a dustpan is a small thing that solves it.

Other caveats are ordinary holiday-park ones. The parking beside the van is grass and turns muddy in wet weather, though there is additional parking elsewhere on the site. The bedrooms are cramped, the double particularly so. Kitchen items have sometimes needed washing before use, and the microwave sits high enough to be awkward for shorter guests. Bedding, towels and the dog charge are all extras on top of the rate, which is worth factoring into the price.

It suits a couple or small family with one dog who want a beach base they can walk to, and who are happy to pack their own cleaning kit.
