Cosy Winter Retreats - Why a UK Holiday Home Break is Great Even in the Cold

As the days grow shorter and the chill sets in, the British coastline transforms into a peaceful, atmospheric escape. Think quiet beaches, crisp sea air, and the comforting glow of a warm drink after a long walk.

While Waterside parks close between November and March, this is the perfect time to plan ahead for your next coastal retreat. Whether you’re dreaming of a peaceful break for two or a refreshing family getaway, a stay at one of our Dorset or Cornwall parks is the ideal way to embrace that cosy, winter-inspired feeling when we reopen for the new season.

The Magic of the Coast in the Colder Months

The beauty of the coast doesn’t fade in winter, it simply changes character. Imagine walking along the dramatic Jurassic Coast, watching waves roll in over Chesil Beach, or exploring the winding streets of Looe in Cornwall.

Our parks are perfectly positioned for you to enjoy these moments when they reopen in spring. Whether you stay at Bowleaze Cove Holiday Park & Spa, Chesil Beach Holiday Park, Osmington Mills Lodge Park, or Tregoad Holiday Park, you’ll find each one surrounded by beautiful walking spots and charming local pubs to visit when you return next season.

Bringing the Cosy Feeling to Your Next Break

There’s something special about those cosy moments that winter brings. Soft blankets, steaming cups of tea, and evenings spent in comfort. When our parks reopen in March, you can recreate that feeling in one of our Luxury Lodges, Cottages, or Signature Holiday Homes.

Each space is designed to feel homely all year round, with modern touches, spacious living areas, and everything you need for a relaxed escape. It’s the perfect balance between adventure and comfort,  especially when the British weather keeps you indoors.

Plan Ahead for a Spring Escape

If winter has you dreaming of your next break, now is the ideal time to book. Planning early means securing your preferred dates, accommodation type, and location before they fill up.

From coastal luxury lodges in Dorset to family-friendly holidays in Cornwall, Waterside offers the chance to enjoy that same peaceful atmosphere, just with a little more sunshine and the added bonus of our full range of on-park facilities.

Don’t Forget the Dogs!

We know that no getaway feels complete without your furry friends. Our dog-friendly holidays are ready to welcome them too, complete with dog-friendly accommodation, walking trails, and even special treats at check-in. So when you’re planning your next trip, there’s no need to leave anyone behind.

Ready to Plan Your Cosy Coastal Escape?

Even though our doors are closed for winter, it’s never too early to start planning your next seaside break. Picture yourself back by the coast, waking up to sea views, and enjoying everything Dorset and Cornwall have to offer, from spring through to autumn.

Explore our parks and start planning your next coastal retreat today.
