For general swimming, there is no need to book. The only sessions that require booking are our popular Pool Fun Sessions, which are priced the same way as regular swims. Booking is required to ensure we stay within the pool capacity as these sessions are popular, particularly in peak season. When it is quieter, we may be able to accept walk-ins for these sessions, however we strongly advise booking.

It is always worth checking the timetable prior to visiting. This can be found here.

Pool Passes can be purchased either in advance at the time of making your booking, to give access to the facilities every day during your stay, for a reduced price, or at the Leisure Club Reception when you visit.

We have 33 EV chargers across 5 holiday parks, which are available for customer use on a first come, first served basis. Our Electric Vehicle webpage has more information about charger locations and speeds. Charging vehicles from your Holiday Home or pitch is not permitted.
