Home Comforts on Holiday

 

The beautiful North Wales scenery

 “I’d never been on holiday to Pontins before, it was like a little home away from home! And having never stayed in a chalet before I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was a little self contained apartment. The kitchen had everything you could need, I love cooking and it was really nice to go somewhere and still have use of kitchen facilities.

Camping is really really not my thing, I just hate it, I’m a real indoors kind of girl. The Prestatyn Pontins Centre was a stone’s throw away from the beautiful beaches, within easy walking distance of the town centre which had plenty of shops and lovely places to eat – you can’t stay in the apartment and cook every night can you?! But best of all, I could go back to the chalet with a smile on my face, knowing that I wouldn’t have to use any horrible shared ablutions and at the end of a long day, run a hot bath and just relax.

For families, Pontins offer loads of entertainment and activities on a daily basis, all you have to do is check what’s going on at the welcome desk in the morning. And if you love to swim, you’ll be happy to know the splash centre with its crazy water slides is open all day.

If you’re looking for an inexpensive holiday that’s loads of fun, I’d recommend the Pontins centres, there are loads across the country, the biggest site Blackpool and Prestatyn is the second largest.”

A bit of a British institution, generations of children have been whipped into a frenzy by the sight of the Pontins sign.

The morning dawns bright and beautiful over the Pontins Centre.

Apartment 514 - a warm, comfortable and relaxing weeklong seaside holiday

A table, a Tv and a sofa just out of view, it may be a little basis but in my opinion, it sure beats a tent!

Small but self-contained, this kitchen was a real luxury.
