The Company does not accept any responsibility for the theft or loss of your personal possessions whilst on our parks or whilst you are in your holiday home and you should take appropriate security measures to ensure against theft and or loss.

24. Availability of facilities

For health and safety reasons some of our facilities and activities have age and/or height restrictions. Please check these with us when you book. In our swimming pools, children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. All children under the age of 8 and all non-swimmers must be accompanied in the water by a competent adult and kept within arm’s length at all times. At busy times access to facilities may be restricted for health and safety reasons. We may operate session swims in our pools during periods of high demand. Occasionally we need to close or withdraw certain facilities (e.g. for safety, maintenance or other reasons beyond our control), in this case no refund or compensation will be offered.

25. Entertainment

The company will endeavour to provide the entertainment as advertised on our website and in your welcome brochure; however, at selected parks and during certain periods of the year, entertainment may be limited to weekends only. We reserve the right to alter or withdraw any facilities or programmed entertainment without prior notice.

26. Your car

You should comply with speed limits, parking and other traffic regulations on our parks. All vehicles are brought onto the holiday park at their owners risk and the Company does not accept responsibility for loss or damage to these except where it is caused by our negligence or fault. Our Parks are not currently designed to supply the electricity required to support vehicle charging. In addition to the additional load on the accommodation’s supply, there is an increased risk of electric shock and a trip hazard from any charging cables that would be in use. Although we are fully committed to doing our bit for the environment and welcome hybrid cars, we therefore have to insist that guests do not use the accommodation’s electricity supply to charge their vehicle.

27. Marketing accuracy

Whilst every care is taken to ensure that the details on our website are correct at the time of being published, the images shown are for illustration purposes only and the details may be subject to alteration from one park to another. The photography on our website is to be used as a guide and some might not be of the park itself. The ‘Out and About’ sections contain options for off-park entertainment. Please check with the operators for relevant opening times.

28. TV filming and photography

Due to the increasing popularity of Park Holiday UK holidays, we receive requests from TV and other companies to film or photograph on our parks. We also undertake our own promotional filming & photography. Every effort is made to ensure filming does not intrude into or affect any holiday activity and that it is clear to guests that filming/photography is taking place. We will not accept responsibility if, contrary to your wishes, you appear on film or in photographs and we are unable to make any financial award or payment of any kind.

29. Data Protection

The information you give us in connection with your booking is held securely on our computer system and dealt with in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018. By providing us with this information you are deemed to accept this and to have the consent of all members of your party to this.

If you would prefer not to receive this information from Park Holidays UK then please contact us at Park Holidays UK, Glovers House, Glovers End, Bexhill, East Sussex, TN39 5ES.

31. Park Environment

Some of our holiday parks have open water sources such as ponds, rivers, lakes or dykes. Please ensure you familiarise yourself with the park layout and supervise children and vulnerable adults appropriately. Our holiday parks are often located in rural areas, which may restrict lighting levels. Please take care to avoid accidents and consider using a torch if you are in any way uncertain about the lighting conditions in place. Please also take extra care on uneven ground and paths.

32. Hot Tubs

If you have booked accommodation that included a hot tub it will have been completely emptied, cleaned and refilled on the day of your arrival in order for us to maintain the required hygiene standards. Given the quantity of water involved, it may not be at the regular running temperature of between 37°C and 38°C until the evening of your arrival.
