The Bailey Retreat is a new range of leisure home caravans, and they promise a completely new level of luxury for holidaymakers who prefer seasonal pitches.

In our latest video, CaravanTimes takes a closer look at the Willow layout; including the spacious front lounge area, the practical kitchen, and the clever folding bathroom configuration.

Philippa Brown-Jackson, one of the chief designers at Bailey, explains that many of these features were made possible by the idea that these models will be permanently sited, instead of being towed around the UK on a regular basis.

Prices in the Bailey Retreat range start at £22,000, including VAT, and the company has a nationwide network of more than 30 dealers to sell and service these leisure homes.
