Read all FAQs-
All our hot tubs are emptied, cleaned and refilled with every departure/new arrival. We do endeavour to make sure these are up to temperature when you arrive, however this is not always a guarantee, especially in colder months as this will naturally take longer.
-
BBQ stands are fitted to the decking of our Sublime caravans, Select+ lodges, Superior lodges, Superior+ lodges and Signature lodges (therefore these are not available on Statement caravans, Sensation caravans, Seaside caravans, Serene caravans, or Select lodges). These are for use with disposable BBQs.
You may make use of your own BBQs at our self-catering parks with caution. We recommend that they are not used in the separation distance between holiday homes as this poses a fire risk.
If using a disposable BBQ, these must be raised off the ground and should not be used on any surface that poses a fire risk or risk of scorching, such as decking or grass.
