About
Join the Staycation Nation with Away Resorts and Mersea Island Holiday Park!
Beat the demand and get the dates you want, the park you want and the accommodation you want
We’ve always known that Britain is pretty special (especially our park locations!) and despite the pandemic, so many have still managed to safely explore our sunny coastlines or the leafy countryside. Many will know just how amazing a mini staycation with us really is, all just a short drive away.
We’ve been working hard, adapting to the pandemic that has changed so much for many of us including live streaming of our entertainment, COVID safe measures throughout the park and PPE for our teams, and of course extra cleaning measures in our holiday homes. We are proud to say that 89% of guests that stayed with us in 2020, said they would recommend us to friends and family!
Think more lovely giggles. More of the best kept local secrets. Even BIGGER experiences. Support for local businesses. That early evening bottle of bubbly. Bike rides. BBQing. Oh, and remember those rosy cheeks, after a day out in the sunshine
Don’t miss out – book your next break today!
We really would love to see you!
Book with confidence! At Away Resorts, we recognise that we are all living in uncertain times and that there is no clarity about when the Coronavirus pandemic will be over. We are also aware that at times like this, it is important to have something special to look forward to as a family.
So, to provide you with complete reassurance, we have introduced the free of charge Coronavirus Booking Guarantee. This means if your 2020 or 2021 holiday is cancelled due to COVID-19, we will offer you:
The choice of a full no quibble refund OR the opportunity to move your break to another date in the future free of any administration charge
