Self-Catering Holidays for Everyone

Self catering holidays suit everyone. If you are a couple enjoying a romantic getaway, why not cook up a range of delicious dinners to enjoy together? Perhaps you could follow dessert with a dip in your own private hot tub, if you choose this self catering luxury accommodation option.

On the other hand, if you are planning a break with a big group or family, the ability to feed everyone what they want, when they want is a great way to ensure a happy holiday. Also, some of our caravans and other accommodation options are pet-friendly. Why not ask about bringing your dog along and truly make it a holiday for the whole family?

Whatever your group size or plans, our self catering holiday accommodation puts you in charge of your schedule. Cater to your tastes and budget, and make the most of your time in a beautiful part of the world.

Other Dining Options

Just because you choose a self catering break doesn’t mean you can’t dine out. Our parks offer fantastic on-site dining options for the whole family, with locally sourced ingredients and varied menus.

Both Dorset and Cornwall also offer a fantastic choice of pubs, restaurants, cafes and takeaways to sample while you are on holiday. After all, a seaside holiday is not complete without enjoying fish and chips at the beach at least once!

Amazing place. Haven't been to a UK resort for years and things have changed a lot. Loads to do, right on the beach, great accommodation, food and drink places everywhere, clean, organised and just thoroughly enjoyable. If you've got kids and want a UK break, this is the place!

Stories From Our Guests

Tregoad is an excellent park and worth every penny. We stayed in one of the cottages with two children and our dog. The facilities were fantastic, the new swimming pool is very high quality. All the staff were friendly and helpful and the views were stunning.

Stories From Our Guests

This really is a beautifully kept park set in a lovely location with views across the hills and out to sea. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and there's such attention to detail, from the very well kept landscaping to little things like the doggy welcome pack in the caravan.

Niall Urquhart

Stories From Our Guests

The caravans were clean and the site well kept. The swimming pool was great and both my girls enjoyed it. The soft play and amusements were great too. The entertainment was decent. We have booked for their sister site, Bowleaze for next year, looking forward to that. I would recommend.

S Austin

Stories From Our Guests
