A family from Canterbury could not believe their luck after winning a luxury holiday caravan.

The Bottomleys beat hundreds of other entries in a national draw to win the keys to £35,000 leisure home at Winchelsea Sands Holiday Park in East Sussex.

Car workshop boss Olly and full-time mum Sam will now be able to stay with their three children at the coast almost any time of the year.

The draw was run by Park Holidays UK, which offered the family a choice of three locations after they won the prize.

Sam, who says all she has ever won before in a competition was a DVD of comedian Micky Flanagan, said: "When the email arrived, I wondered if it was some sort of wind-up as it sounded just too good to be true."

The holiday firm have been running the national prize draw for 11 years.
