Accomodation
There is a wide range of accommodation on site from Ensuite Chalets to Camping options. Please see accommodation costs here.
Meals
In addition to the cost of accomodation, evening meals can also be purchased. Meals are provided in a large dinning style setting where families can share fellowship and food with one another. Special diet requirements can be catered for by the kitchen. Own catering on site is also fine using the small kitchens inside the leisure homes/chalets or your own facilities if camping.
Booking
Booking requests for the annual holiday will be open to all members via a link on an email sent to all members from October in the preceeding year. We do our best to accomodate all member families but sometimes due to numbers families might miss out.
