- Visit Merley House Holiday Park for a tour – we will show you our available holiday homes and pitches
- 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.
- If you would like to order a specific home direct from the manufacturer you will first need to select your pitch. We will then sit with you to help you look though available options and select a home that meets your needs. Lead times vary depending on manufacturers.
Do you sell pre-owned holiday homes?
Yes, we sometimes sell pre-owned holiday homes subject to availability. Please look at our holiday homes for sale listings or get in touch to find out more.
What storage options will I have?
You are more than welcome to add external storage to your property, as long as it sits within your boundary and is maintained to a high standard. You are limited to 1 shed or 2 storage boxes per holiday home or lodge.
