The Pretty Thing - St Oysth Essex

The Pretty Thing is a small friendly glamping & caravan site situated between Clacton on Sea, Weeley & St Osyth. We are based in the grounds of a lovely thatched cottage which was built in 1520. This is the story of how we started, how we develop and the fun we have on the way ... Visit us www.theprettything.co.uk

Yesterday was a sad day as we lost a close friend... One of our favourite firepits single handedly took on a Range Rover & lost... badly 😥😥 #firepittradgedy #broken #desmarisdoom #theprettything #stosyth #glamping #camping #touring (at The Pretty Thing) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDKTHRnjw4F/?igshid=1nl7r7dzf5gh2

CoVid 19 Lockdown May update After Boris's announcement on Sunday, whist there is no firm guidance on a date that holiday parks will reopen, there is a feeling in the industry that the Governments phase 3 for hospitality businesses is most likely to apply, which means early July. We will obviously keep you posted if this changes, as we are ready to go.. Grass is cut, Bell tents and Pods are ready and caravan pitches are sitting empty and waiting. Our online booking software has been opened from 1st of July so that you can start planning but we would urge caution in booking at the moment as the companies we use will transfer, but not refund, deposits. I'm sorry that there isn't any good news yet and until then I hope you all stay safe and alert. #covid19 #frustration #boredom #happytimestocome #stayalert #controlthevirus #savelives #theprettything #stosyth 😷 (at The Pretty Thing) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAIJ2nWjAVJ/?igshid=1b2vrlzp4891n

Unfortunately we have taken the decision to close temporarily. The amount of wet weather has slowed us down in getting the park ready for guests and now with the uncertainty over CoVid 19 we think it would be a risk to public hygiene to open our showers, toilets and kiddies play area. Subject to government advice, we do intend to be open in time for Easter but in these uncertain times we will update the situation daily. Many apologies and stay safe...
