    If you are looking to book one of our lodges with an arrival date that is more than 35 days away, you will have to pay the standard deposit of 20% of the total accommodation cost (this may be reduced in a promotion offer if available at the time of booking). You will then have to pay the remainder of your balance no less than 5 weeks (35 days) prior to your arrival. If you are looking to book one of our lodges with an arrival date that is 35 days away or less, you will have to pay the total accommodation cost. This may still be partially or fully refundable after this time. Please see our Terms and Conditions for more information on cancellations.

    All of our lodges have fixed arrival and departure days of a Monday and/or Friday. We currently allow you to book the following combinations online: Monday - Friday Friday - Monday Monday - Monday (week or fortnight) Friday - Friday (week or fortnight)
  • How far in advance can I book?
    We currently take bookings approximately 17 months in advance.
  • I have seen one of your lodges cheaper somewhere else, will you price match this?
    If you find the same holiday (which means the same type/model of unit and the same location with the same start and end dates) available on the same day you make your booking or would like to make a booking, at a lower price, we will only charge you that lower price. You will need to provide us proof of the lower price you have found by emailing us evidence (including the telephone number or the details of the website where the price can be confirmed) within 7 days of making your booking directly through us. The date of this evidence much match the date that you made your booking. We will not match any payment terms related to such booking. We will not be able to add any promotional discounts to any price matched rate. We have a dynamic pricing structure in place that automatically varies due to demand and occupancy on a daily basis. We cannot price match any holiday where the price is lower than the one that you have booked if it is before or after the date that you made the booking. This is because the price may have changed due to the influence of your booking or a cancellation in another model.
  • I have seen online I can pay a lower deposit upfront than on your website, will you price match this?
    Our standard upfront deposit is 20% but this may be different if we are offering a promotional deal at the time where this deposit is reduced. Unfortunately, we will not price match a reduced upfront payment as there may be different terms and conditions to our own. Please be aware that if you book an accommodation at a low upfront rate through an external source, they may still pursue you for remaining costs if you cancel despite only paying the lower payment.
  • When will I be able to book the Wyre Lodge?
    The Wyre Lodge is currently scheduled for 2026. The Wyre Lodges will be the final lodges to arrive on our park and bookings will be available once the first is on our park.
  • Why are bookings showing as unavailable online.
    There may be several reasons for the online engine to show as unavailable. As of the 1st June 2024 we are 75% booked for the year so popular periods such as bank holiday weekends may be fully occupied. Please make sure you have selected a Monday and Friday as departure/arrival dates. There may also be so booking restrictions for when you are looking to book: - We close for 5 weeks from the first Monday of January for annual maintenance. - Over Christmas we only accept 7 nights (22nd to 29th 2025 and 21st to 28th 2026) We will also be adding more lodges throughout 2025. If you cannot find availability for your preferred dates, please email or call us and we can provide some more information.
  • Why has the price changed since yesterday?
    We have a dynamic pricing structure in place that automatically varies due to demand and occupancy of our park as well as events and demand in the local area and higher/lower peak times of the year. Our prices are updated once per day. As we are currently a small park with less than 12 lodges, each booking that is made may influence a slight change in pricing for the same or similar model lodge. An example is that a two bedroom lodge may be more expensive at a particular time than a four bedroom lodge because we only have 1 two bedroom lodge available yet have 4 four bedroom lodges available. We do not use cookies to influence pricing, therefore, the price will not change because you have browsed our booking search engine in the past.
