FAQ: How often can I visit my holiday home?

No, unfortunately we are a holiday park, not a residential park. Your holiday home at Merley House must not be used as a permanent residence or primary address.

Holiday homes come with a 15-year Licence Agreement, whereas lodges come with a 30-year agreement.

At the end of your License Agreement, you can either upgrade your home, or move it offsite. Providing your holiday home is maintained to a high standard you can also or extended your term by another 10 or 20 years.

Merley House Holiday Park closes for 1 month every year. Before vacating your holiday home for winter, we kindly ask all guests to remove any items of value. You will also need to drain down your property. You can do this yourself or you can request that our maintenance team carries this out for you. Water is turned off around the park during the time.

We have a capable groundskeeping team on-park to help with any small maintenance tasks. We can also recommend reputable tradesman in the local area. When enlisting the help of off-park tradesman, we ask that you provide us a copy of their electrical and/or gas safe qualifications.

You must seek the permission of management before carrying out any changes to the exterior of your property or surrounding grounds.
