Bronze is our most compact accommodation with all the essentials and a check-in time from 5pm. There is always one shower and one toilet in Bronze Caravans.
Silver is guaranteed to be an extra wide caravan with up to 20% more space that you'll really notice. There is also a fold out double sofa bed in the lounge so is a more flexible option for larger groups. There is always one shower in Silver Caravans, 2-bedroom has one toilet whilst 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom models have two toilets. Check-in is from 4pm in Silver and it is possible to secure a newer models under 2 years old for a small additional charge (subject to availability).
Gold has more space than Silver and is furnished to a higher standard. Gold Caravans are generally found in better locations than Bronze and Silver. All Gold Caravans guarantee one shower and two toilets, one of which is en-suite in 2-bedroom models and in newer model 3-bedroom Gold caravans. Other additional features in Gold over Silver include superior furniture and fittings throughout, a lounge area with full height windows where the sofa faces outward rather than into the caravan, a DVD player and coffee table.
Newer model Gold caravans guarantee a kingsize bed in the main bedroom:
- Woolacombe Bay: Gold 2-bedroom and Gold 3-bedroom on selected models for a supplement (subject to availability), guaranteed on Gold with deck 3-bedroom caravans.
- Twitchen House: Gold with deck 3-bedroom on selected models for a supplement (subject to availability), guaranteed on Gold 3-bedroom and Gold with deck 2-bedroom caravans.
Decking is an option on certain Gold caravans (will show as "Gold Caravan with deck" when booking), decking is not available on any Bronze or Silver caravans.
Where will my accommodation be located in the Park?
Where will my accommodation be located in the Park?
Our accommodation grades are spread throughout each of our holiday parks. Generally, we put the higher grades in the better locations. Emerald Caravans guarantee a front-row view, whilst Diamond Caravans with hot tubs are in more secluded locations so you can enjoy your hot tub in most weathers. Your specific location will be allocated on arrival, but if you have a special request, you can add this at the time of booking or email goodtimes@woolacombe.com.
If you book a Platinum, Sapphire or Diamond caravan you will be staying in the premium developments in 'Surf Village' at Woolacombe Bay and 'Beach Haven' at Twitchen House so you can be assured of your location within the holiday park with each caravan having more space around it than in our main holiday park areas with features including larger decking, outdoor furniture, gas babecue and private parking for 2 cars. Please note that in 2026 a small number of pet-friendly Platinum Caravans are located within the main holiday park areas.
Will my accommodation be pet-free?
Will my accommodation be pet-free?
Pets are allowed in a selection of designated pet-friendly accommodation.
If you or someone in your party has allergies, please select pet-free accommodation at the time of booking and add a special request to your booking. This helps ensure our team can make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Certain areas of our holiday parks contain no pet-friendly accommodation at all, specifically ‘Surf Village’ at Woolacombe Bay has no dog-friendly caravans and lodges so this may be a more suitable location for guests who are more wary of dogs. There is a public footpath through this area so dogs may be walked through ‘Surf Village’ on a lead.
Please note: On very rare occasions, we are able to accept registered guide dogs in any accommodation.

Where will I put my travel cot?
Where will I put my travel cot?
Travel cots can be used in our accommodation, but where they will fit depends on the type of accommodation you have booked.
In most caravans, there is not enough space for a travel cot in the main bedroom. If one of the twin beds in the second bedroom is not being used, it can usually be folded down underneath the other bed to create space for a cot. If all of the beds are needed, the first cot and any additional cots will normally need to be placed in the lounge area.
Our lodges, apartments and farmhouse accommodation are larger and we do not remove or fold away beds to accommodate a cot. Depending on the layout, there may be enough space for a cot in a bedroom. For example, all 3-bedroom lodges, ll apartments and the 4-bedroom farmhouse will often have room for a cot in the main bedroom.
Our travel cots are suitable for babies up to 12 months old and measure approximately 100cm x 70cm x 70cm. For your baby's comfort, please bring your own cot mattress and cot linen, as we are unable to provide these.
