Four nights in a 3 bedroom static holiday home at Park Holidays’ Steeple Bay park in Essex, aimed at families and groups who want a self catering base rather than a hotel room. It sits in the same bracket as other UK holiday parks, with the usual mix of on site facilities and a coastal location, but with more space and privacy than a chalet style stay. Sleeping up to eight, it suits bigger groups who would rather share a single unit than book multiple rooms.

Who is this break best for?

Anyone after a short end of summer escape with room to spread out, including families, two smaller families travelling together, or friends splitting the cost. A static home setup works well if you want the flexibility of your own kitchen and living area, plus separate bedrooms for earlier nights and quieter mornings.

• 3 bedrooms, sleeps 8, better for groups than squeezing into one room
• 4 night stay (31 Aug to 04 Sep), useful for a school holiday wind down
