The code to access your key will be the last four digits of your reservation number. Simply enter these four numbers on the combination, then turn the knob at the top of the key box to the right to access your key! Check out our video to see for yourself just how easy it is...

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check in at Merley Court?

Check-in less and holiday more. We no longer operate a reception at Merley Court Holiday Park. All our wonderful accommodation features online check-in with your keys waiting for you securely upon arrival. Here's what you can expect:

  • Shortly before your holiday starts you will receive our pre-arrival email, where you can register all your details and begin the online check-in process.
  • On the day of your arrival, we’ll send you a text (and an email) when your holiday home is ready and to let you know your accommodation number, as well as details of how to find your accommodation on park.
  • Simply head to our woodland lodges, approach the barrier and use the button to call our team, who will let you in. Your accommodations keys will be waiting for you in our secure key box. Attached to the keys will be a barrier fob, so that you can come and go as you please during your stay.
  • Please do not head to your accommodation until you have received your text confirming that it is all ready for you. Once you have settled in, you will be prompted to check-in via our online portal.
  • In the unlikely event of experiencing any difficulties or something’s not quite right, our onsite Warden is on hand throughout your stay.
What are your check-in and check-out times for self-catering accommodation?

Check-in will vary depending on the accommodation you have booked.
