1. Visit Merley House Holiday Park for a tour – we will show you our available holiday homes and pitches
2. If you select a home that is already on park, you will need to pay a deposit, provide proof of address, ID and a copy of your holiday home insurance. If everything is in order you can move into your home straight away, after settling the outstanding balance. It usually takes around 2 weeks to complete this process.
