Kingfisher Holiday Park

What could be better than a canalside location? Perhaps a spot that’s at the junction of two major canals, with a view over the canal basin so you can watch all the boating activity on the water? That’s the exact setting of Kingfisher Holiday Park, in the Staffordshire countryside a couple of miles from the village of Alrewas and a 20-minute drive from Burton-on-Trent.

Being in such a rural waterside spot means plenty of outdoor activities on hand, including fishing (free of charge to park guests) and walks through the surrounding woods, parkland and nature reserve (which has a lakeside walk and bird hide). Other places to amuse yourselves in the open air include the adventure play area, the all-weather tennis court and the crown green bowling – although there’s also an indoor swimming pool and games room (with pool table and video games) in case of less-good weather.

There’s plenty of choice when it comes to eating, as well – the site has a café with indoor and outdoor seating, and there’s a pub just outside the park entrance. Nearby Alrewas has pubs, a restaurant and a takeaway, plus a supermarket for those times when you’d like to make use of the fully equipped kitchen in your caravan.

As well as that kitchen, other facilities in the caravan include two bedrooms, a bathroom and a lounge area with sofas and Freeview TV. Double glazing and central heating come as standard so you can stay warm and cosy, and the modern units are all designed to have plenty of space for a comfortable family holiday.
