Summer Holidays

Summer Sun & Seaside Fun

We don’t know about you, but when we think of UK summer holidays we picture splashing in the sea, quality time with family and activity-filled days before falling sound asleep in a cosy bed! If that sounds like a pretty perfect way to spend the summer break then come and visit us this season.

Families have been enjoying their UK summer holidays with us for over half a century. During that time we think we’ve discovered the secrets of what makes a truly unforgettable break. It’s all about a combination of accommodation, activities and keeping things stress-free for the parents.

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.
