We are sorry but we are now required to completely close the park as of today. You will probably have seen or heard that the Prime Minister declared a National Emergency last night. Among the many instructions he issued was the closure of many businesses including “caravan parks/sites” - that includes us.
Owners will not be permitted to stay on the park during the closure and should follow the Government advice to stay home. We understand there will be Police enforcement of this directive and we will need to explain any occupation of caravans or pitches at the park.
For those owners that privately let their holiday homes, we will be advising anyone currently on park that they need to leave within 24 hours. Please do not take any further bookings between now and the end of May and please advise anyone due to arrive at the park during the closure that they will not be allowed on site.
We appreciate that you will have questions about the next steps, but right now our priority is to help people vacate the park quickly and safely. We will contact all our owners as soon as we can to answer any questions you might have but please help us manage the situation as efficiently as possible by not calling or emailing us at this present time. Please see below some FAQs to help with some likely worries and concerns you may have.
These are alarming times for us all and we are so sorry to be issuing this update. Regrettably we have no choice. Please help us by doing what the government has ordered.

At this stage it is too early in the national emergency to provide a definitive answer, however we are considering all options. The park and all other non-essential businesses have been closed by the government due to the corona virus pandemic. Once we have further information and clarity on the situation, including the likely duration, we will be writing to all holiday home owners to update them. We will continue to ensure the park and your holiday home are secure and maintained so that it is ready to open as soon as the restrictions are lifted.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the vast majority of our owner community, who have been incredibly understanding throughout this unprecedented time. We are doing our best to keep our owners and team safe and secure, whilst also recognising the challenges being placed on the NHS and other health services in the communities in which we operate.
