Sometimes I receive a booking that stops me in my tracks.
Today, someone booked a stay because they have recently lost family members and simply need somewhere to escape, breathe, and find a little peace. Reading that message brought a lump to my throat, because it reminded me exactly why this caravan means so much to me.
In 2022, I lost my dad. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through. When he passed away, I used part of the inheritance he left me to buy this caravan. At the time, I never imagined what it would become.
What started as a way of keeping a part of him with me has turned into something so much bigger. Families have celebrated birthdays here, made precious memories with their children, reconnected after difficult times, and found somewhere to rest when life has felt heavy.
Every booking is more than dates in a diary. Behind each one is a story. Sometimes it’s excitement, sometimes it’s celebration, and sometimes it’s people trying to heal from heartbreak.
Knowing that this little caravan can give someone a safe place to laugh again, make memories, or simply sit quietly and gather themselves means the world to me.
With Father’s Day coming up on Sunday, I’ve found myself thinking about my dad even more than usual. He never got to see what this caravan would become, but I like to think he’d be proud. Every smile, every memory made here, and every family that finds a little happiness within these walls is part of his legacy.
And that is why I do what I do. ❤️
To the guest who booked today, I hope this little corner of the world brings you some comfort, peace, and happier moments during what I know must be an incredibly difficult time.
