If you are exempt from wearing face masks, we kindly ask that you have collect one of our free Face Mask Exemption Cards from our Resort Box Office or Guest Services - readily available to present to a member of our team. The card is of course entirely optional; however, its sole purpose is to enable you to visit everything you want to, without being questioned by our teams where your mask is on a regular basis throughout your visit.

No. However, some people may feel more comfortable showing our card rather than having to speak to our team members who will check before each indoor space or attraction. Carrying an exemption card or badge is a personal choice and is not required by law.

Vouchers can be used to book short breaks throughout 2021. Simply go through the booking process as usual and enter your voucher code as a payment method at check-out.  The balance of your voucher will be deducted from the total cost of your break.

We are currently experiencing a high number of calls and emails due to the recent changes in the Government Guidelines.

If your booking has been affected and you wish to speak to a member of our team, we kindly ask you to fill out the contact us form and a member of our team will be back to you.
