The price we chose is for a family of four and is the cheapest accommodation available at the time of searching. You can upgrade to more expensive accommodation on the booking pages.

When are Tots' Breaks available at Parkdean Resorts?Tots' Breaks are aimed at pre-schoolers, so they are mostly mid-week breaks during term time. They last for four nights, running from Monday to Friday. The only exception at the moment are the pre-school breaks at Landguard Holiday Park on the Isle of Wight. These take place over weekends during term time. If you go for this option then you need to budget a bit extra for the Isle of Wight ferry. The good news is that Parkdean Resorts get a generous discount on the ferry. Also, the Isle of Wight ferry is less expensive outside of peak times, so you should get a pretty good price.  Landguard Holiday Park offers weekend Tots Breaks rather than midweek breaks Who are Parkdean Resorts?Parkdean Resorts is the UK’s biggest holiday park company. Well, it’s the biggest based on the number of locations it has around the UK. Other brands like Haven and Butlins can make claims to be the biggest in other ways. Conclusion - which is the best Parkdean Resorts Tots Break location?The answer may well be that the best Parkdean Resorts Tots Break is the one which is closest to you. We all know the perils of long car journeys with children!
Putting that aside, there are a few which stand out because of their review scores, location, facilities or value for money. Kessingland Beach Holiday Park in Suffolk is my best value all-rounder. It was one of the cheapest in our price comparisons yet it was also one of the highest ranked with customers. You get direct beach access and an indoor swimming pool. There is also an outdoor swimming pool but that's less appealing to me! The location is convenient for East Anglia, East London and some of the home counties. Another East Anglia Parkdean Resorts - Cherry Tree Holiday Park - has many of the same positives as Kessingland. The beach is a little further away, but it is popular with customers and it is great value. Landguard Holiday Park on the Isle of Wight is worth an honourable mention. It is the only resort where the Tots Breaks are over a weekend rather than midweek. If that is more convenient for you then you get a good value break at a park with positive customer reviews. The Isle of Wight ferry isn't included in the price but you can get a special discount via Parkdean Resorts. Other strong contenders are Sandy Bay Holiday Park in Northumberland and Ruda Holiday Park in Devon. They both have easy beach access, indoor swimming pools, positive customer reviews and were mid-table performers in our price comparison. Warmwell Holiday Park in Dorset is my number one choice if money is no object. It gets outstanding reviews and the accommodation is lodges which are more spacious than caravans. It has an indoor swimming pool but it's a long way from the beach and it's the most expensive by far. Prices and review scores are correct at the time of writing.
