Frequently Asked Questions
What is contactless check-in?
As an added safety measure following Government guidance and social distancing advice, all our accommodation now feature 'contactless check-in' as standard. This means you don't have to pick up your key from reception, instead it will be ready and securely waiting for you at your accommodation at your designated check-in time. We'll even provide directions to your accommodation, where everything will be waiting for you so you can make the most of every moment on park.
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.
What are your check-in and check-out times for self-catering accommodation?
Check-in is from 4pm on the day of your arrival across all our accommodation.
Check-out is by 10am on the day of departure. Note: Sunday departures for two night breaks are by 7pm.
In order to maintain social distancing, we kindly ask that you DO NOT arrive any earlier than the assigned check-in time of 4pm.
