New Year, New Adventures - Why a Holiday is the Best New Year’s Resolution

Whether you’re dreaming of coastal walks in Dorset or countryside escapes in Cornwall, a holiday with Waterside might just be the most rewarding resolution you make this year.

Let’s be honest - gym memberships fade and fad diets rarely last. But a holiday? That’s one resolution you won’t be cancelling.

Booking a getaway in Dorset or Cornwall gives you something exciting to look forward to - a chance to recharge, reconnect, and rediscover the joy of doing what makes you happy.

From the golden beaches of Bowleaze Cove Holiday Park & Spa to the rolling countryside views at Tregoad Holiday Park, you’ll find the perfect place to turn your New Year’s intention into an unforgettable experience.

Nothing resets your mindset like a breath of sea air and a change of scenery.

A holiday at one of our Dorset holiday parks, such as Osmington Mills Lodge Park or Chesil Beach Holiday Park, gives you the perfect excuse to slow down and soak up nature. Stroll along the coast, watch the waves roll in, and take a moment to focus on what truly matters.

Over in Cornwall, Tregoad Holiday Park offers stunning countryside views and easy access to Looe’s beautiful coastline, helping you start the year feeling refreshed, grounded, and ready for whatever’s ahead.

A new year often comes with the temptation to buy more, do more, and chase the next big thing, but the best investment you can make is in memories.

A UK staycation gives you the chance to spend quality time with loved ones, create stories to share, and rediscover the simple joy of being together. Whether it’s a summer break at Bowleaze Cove, a cosy spring escape in Osmington Mills, or a dog-friendly adventure at Tregoad, it’s these moments that last far longer than any New Year’s purchase.

At Waterside, we believe every guest deserves their perfect break, and every dog, too! Our dog-friendly holidays in Cornwall and Dorset ensure no family member gets left behind.

From walks on the beach to dining together at our pet-friendly restaurants like Stargazy Bar & Grill and Southside Bar & Grill, your four-legged friends can enjoy every part of the adventure right alongside you.

One of the best things about booking a holiday early in the year is having something to look forward to during the winter months.

Even though our parks are currently closed for the season, the anticipation of your next break - picturing sunny mornings, seaside dinners, and evenings spent watching sunsets - is enough to keep those January blues at bay.

So as the New Year’s fireworks light up the sky, why not make a promise to yourself: this next year, you’ll explore more, unwind more, and embrace the magic of the coast with Waterside.

Whether you’re planning a family holiday by the sea, a romantic coastal escape, or even thinking about owning your own holiday home in Dorset or Cornwall, the new year is the perfect time to start dreaming and planning.

With relaxing lodges, luxurious accommodation, and some of the most scenic spots in the South West, your next great adventure is waiting.

From all of us across our Dorset and Cornwall holiday parks, we’d like to wish our guests, owners, and visitors a Happy New Year filled with joy, adventure, and seaside moments to remember.

Thank you for making 2025 such a wonderful year. We can’t wait to welcome you back in spring for another incredible season by the coast.
