Incidentally, it looks as if a ruling on EU law, which governs VAT, is at the root of this - don't be too quick to assume it's an underhand Tory tax-grab.
thanks for that mum loves her caravan holidays worried £250 hike in costs its already disgraceful £1,000 in hight season.

Even off peaks getting dearer as people move more to them.
