Frequently Asked Questions

Our accommodation types vary from Park to Park, we have a range of Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze accommodation sleeping 4-8 people. We also have a range of chalets and lodges at select Parks. If you are booking on the website, you are asked to input the number of people in your party, so the accommodation suggested will only display accommodation that can accept the number of people in your party. If you are booking by phone, again you will only be offered accommodation that meets your requirements.

Your accommodation will be available from:
1.30pm if you have booked into Gold, Platinum, or Signature Lodge Accommodation,

on the day of your arrival once it has been cleaned and prepared for you.

In order for us to prepare for our next guests we do ask that you vacate your accommodation by 10am on the day of your departure.

If you have a special request regarding your holiday, please advise us when making your booking and confirm your request in writing either by post or email including your telephone number in case of any query.

Paying with Tesco or Leisure Vouchers?

Your Tesco Vouchers and Leisure Vouchers cannot be redeemed online as the offers shown are website only offers. If you would like to use your Tesco Clubcard vouchers to book a Park Resorts holiday, you will need to request the vouchers from Tesco and have them in front of you before giving us a call on 0843 309 2599.

If you are a Tesco Clubcard member you can exchange your Clubcard Vouchers to pay for all or part of your Park Resorts self-catering holiday.

Every £10 in Clubcard Vouchers gives you £30 towards your holiday. Rewards tokens may only be used by the Clubcard Holder (whose name is printed on the vouchers), however, there can be more than one named voucher per booking as long as the person(s) is travelling too. Please be advised that we can only accept the Holidays branded Tesco vouchers. You cannot book online using your vouchers as the holiday prices displayed include discounts and special offers. You will need to call our Holiday Hotline on 0843 309 2599 to check availability and to make the booking.
