6 Reasons to book your 2026 big Summer holiday early
That’s right. It’s not even Christmas, and we’re already thinking about sunny summer days by the sea, but hear us out.
As the cold weather starts to bite, there’s nothing better than knowing you’ve got summer plans all wrapped up. If you’re feeling savvy, here are six reasons to make the most of summer holiday offers and beat the January rush.
Reason 1: Lock in 2026 holidays at 2025 prices
The only surprises we like are birthday parties and incorrect rainy weather forecasts. Putting down a small deposit on your summer holiday now means there will be no shocks when next year quickly comes around. And you’ll have more time to save up for those extra special moments too.
Until Christmas Day 2025, you can make the most of our 2026 Price Freeze promise. That means we’ve frozen our prices at 2025 levels, even if you’re booking for a holiday in 2026. And that covers everything from premium lodges with hot tubs to dog-friendly chalets.
Reason 2: First Pick of Lodges and Dates
Our most popular chalets and lodges sell out quickly so it pays to book early. Get in quickly and you’ll find those popular school holiday dates will still be available, our dog-friendly units will still be up for grabs, and idyllic lake-view lodges will be ready and waiting. But it won’t be for long.
Get the pick of the bunch and find the perfect space to suit your family.
Reason 3: More certainty on total cost
There are many early booking benefits, and top of the list has to be zero last-minute stress. Book in now and you can plan your South Devon itinerary and holiday wardrobe at your leisure.
Best of all, it’s easier to reduce financial stress. Knowing the total cost of your summer holiday now gives you more opportunities to save up. Secure your dream holiday space with a small deposit, and you have even longer to plan your budget with the full balance due 56 days before arrival.
Reason 4: Combine offers for extra value
Did you know our summer holiday offers aren’t limited to the 2026 Price Freeze? There’s a raft of Devon holiday park discounts that can add extra value to your summer getaway. Young Family with kids under 5? There’s one for you. Solo traveller? No single supplement to be found here. Work in the NHS or serve in the Army? We want to say ‘thank you’ with a special discount.
Check out our 2026 Summer Holiday price freeze and you may get more than you’ve budgeted for.
Reason 5: Peace of Mind with Cancellation Protection
Having your holiday plans sorted is an easy way to beat the blues when January rolls around. You’ll be able to relax and get excited as the summer holidays head towards the horizon. However, if you’re concerned that summertime feels like a long way away and plans can change, we’ve got you covered.
Our optional Cancellation Protection policy gives you total peace of mind. From just £30, you can get a full refund of your deposit and all other monies paid if you cancel more than 56 days before your arrival date.
Reason 6: Plan the Perfect South Devon Itinerary
Get more value from our summer holiday offers and you’ll have more time to plan the ultimate South Devon itinerary. Lazy days soaking up the sun on the beach. Wildlife spotting on Dawlish Warren Nature Reserve. A tempting array of local attractions from steam trains to exciting theme parks. There’s something close by for the whole family.
Balance the big day trips with stress-free fun at our outdoor heated swimming pool and entertainment at our welcoming clubhouse. Everything you could want and more from your South Devon family holiday.

We’ve frozen our summer holiday prices for 2026. You’ll find these great value prices all ready to go when you book direct with us online - but they’ll only be there until Christmas Day 2025. Get all the details on our Offers page.
