Away Resorts

Away Resorts Breaks for Armed Forces Families

Away Resorts operates holiday parks across the UK, mainly along the coast in places like North Wales, Yorkshire, the Lake District, and the South West. They're the sort of places where kids can run around safely, there's plenty to do on-site, and you don't have to go far to switch off for a few days.

If you're looking for a UK break that doesn't involve flights, passports, or complicated planning, Away Resorts is worth a look. They cater to families, couples, and groups, with everything from caravans and lodges to camping and glamping options.

What Away Resorts Offers

Away Resorts runs several parks across England and Wales, each with its own setup. What you'll generally find includes:

• Static caravans and holiday homes to rent
• Lodges and upgraded accommodation
• Touring and camping pitches at some parks
• On-site entertainment, kids' clubs, and activities
• Swimming pools, arcades, and play areas
• Bars, restaurants, and takeaways
• Easy access to beaches or countryside

Some parks are livelier with evening entertainment and lots going on, while others are quieter and more suited to relaxing. It depends which one you pick.

Is There a Military Discount?

Away Resorts doesn't have a dedicated Armed Forces discount, and there's no formal verification scheme in place for serving personnel or veterans.

However, they do run regular promotions and seasonal sales that can bring the cost down significantly. We often have these listed on our page, some of the past offers include £50 discount code and savings of up to 40%.

It's certainly worth checking the offers listed on this page before you book—we'll post any current deals as soon as they're available.

How Much Does a Break Cost?

Prices vary depending on when you go, which park you choose, and what type of accommodation you book. Peak times like school holidays and bank weekends are more expensive. Off-peak and midweek breaks are usually much cheaper—sometimes half the price.

A weekend in a caravan might start from around £100 off-peak, while a week in a lodge during the summer holidays could be several hundred pounds. It's not luxury, but it's decent value for a UK break, especially if you've got kids.

What's Included

Accommodation comes with the basics—beds, kitchen, bathroom, heating. Most caravans and lodges have a TV, and some have WiFi, though it's not always reliable. You'll need to bring your own bedding and towels unless you pay extra for linen packs.

On-site facilities are usually included in your stay—pools, play areas, entertainment. Some activities like archery or bike hire might cost extra, but there's plenty you can do for free.

Food and Drink

Most accommodation has a kitchen, so you can self-cater and save money. There's usually a small shop on-site for basics, but prices are what you'd expect—bring your own stuff if you can.

If you don't fancy cooking, most parks have a restaurant, bar, or takeaway. It's not gourmet, but it's handy when you can't be bothered to sort dinner after a long day.

Locations

Away Resorts parks are dotted around the UK. Some of the more popular ones include:

• Barmouth Bay, Wales
• Whitecliff Bay, Isle of Wight

Tattershall Lakes, Lincolnshire

• Mill Rythe, Hampshire
• Whitby, Yorkshire

Most are close to beaches or countryside, so there's stuff to do outside the park if you want to get out and about.

Booking and Cancellations

You can book directly through the Away Resorts website. It's straightforward—pick your park, dates, and accommodation type, then pay a deposit to secure it. The balance is usually due a few weeks before your stay.

Cancellation policies vary depending on when you cancel and what type of booking you've made. It's worth reading the terms before you commit, especially if your leave might get changed at short notice. Some bookings are non-refundable, so check the small print.

Is Away Resorts Worth It?

If you're after a simple UK break that doesn't cost a fortune and keeps the kids entertained, Away Resorts does the job. It's not five-star luxury, but it's not trying to be. The parks are clean, the facilities are decent, and you're usually near the coast or somewhere worth visiting.

For military families trying to squeeze in a break around unpredictable schedules, the flexibility of short stays and the range of locations make it a practical option. Just book early or off-peak to keep costs sensible.
