Victory Woodland Vue static caravan review

The Woodland Vue static caravan is a single unit made by Hull based Victory Leisure Homes and it didn’t take us long to see the company’s trademark; an eye-catching feature wall of plum, cream and putty coloured wide horizontal stripes.

The free-standing sofa is complemented by a large footstool which used together gives a chaise long-style sofa which converts to a guest bed for occasional use. The plum, gray, lavender and cream curtains are bold, stylish and the same fabric is used for the scatter cushions on the sofa. We like the two wall niches with glass shelves and the large feature mirror.

Base units in the kitchen are high gloss aubergine, very chic, complemented by high gloss white eye-level cupboards. Two of those are glazed and are above the sink unit; they may be too high for some people to reach, but they look good. We like the wide drawers under the four burner gas hob and the high level of equipment fitted as standard. The dining table is pear wood and has four faux leather chairs.

The main bedroom has a metal framed bed with a plum coloured upholstered headboard and sits against a feature wall which coordinates with the short curtains. There is plenty of space around the bed and the fitted wardrobe has two large drawers under it and there is dressing table with a stool. The en-suite toilet and pedestal wash basin are ideal for night time use.

The two metal framed beds in the second bedroom are separated by freestanding bedside table which does allow for them to be pushed together. Each has a triangular shaped corner cupboard over it and the fitted wardrobe is a decent size for a guest room.

The shower room has a rectangular shower tray with a sliding door and a countertop basin above a white gloss cupboard. Further storage is available in a cupboard above the basin. The floor covering, like in the kitchen and en-suite is tile effect vinyl.

Verdict

Well specified and designed with a good use of the plum/lavender colour palate throughout creating a harmonious theme. We are disappointed that, given it’s the company’s top-of-the-range caravan holiday-home, central heating and double glazing are optional extras therefore condensation is likely to be a problem. It’s such a lovely unit that it could indeed be enjoyed during the shoulder seasons, thus extending your use of your purchase, if the specification was enhanced. The next model up is the Saffron leisure lodge, which has a much heftier price tag but does come with central heating and double glazing.
