We will discuss your options at the time if you need to change a booking. Please note that all requests to change your booking must be made by the same person who made the booking.

In this connection he is empowered to refuse entry to or the use of the park by any person who in his opinion is not able to take charge, and should he consider it necessary request the removal of any person, caravan, tent or vehicle.

SMOKING

All accommodation at Newlands is Non-Smoking.

WI-FI

WiFi is available over most of the park. This allows you to browse the internet and send and receive emails.  We continue to invest heavily in this service however as Newlands is on a hillside with lots of trees and shrubs, and with many guests logging in at the same time the service may not be as you have at home.

COMPLAINTS 

Any complaint you have with any aspect of your holiday should be reported to reception as soon as possible so that we can resolve the problem. We will try our very best to help you enjoy your stay.

LOST PROPERTY

Any items of lost property will be held in reception for one month after departure, if not claimed within one month the items will either be donated to charity or if unsuitable, disposed of.

DOGS

A maximum of 2 dogs are permitted in any pet-friendly unit, including touring. Only a few caravans are pet friendly, therefore if bringing a dog ensure you book early and specify to reception. Pets are not allowed in any other hired accommodation. Please telephone to ensure we have a pet-friendly unit available. Dogs must be kept strictly on a lead and exercised in the dog walk provided. They must not be left unattended in units or on pitches.

BIKES & ELECTRIC POWERED VEHICLES

Newlands is classed as a public place, therefore due to recent changes in legalisation the road traffic act applies. This means any powered vehicle regardless of size or speed requires 3rd party RTA insurance in place and the driver needs a licence before it can be used in the Park. The legal and insurance implications involved with battery-powered go kart-type vehicles mean that they cannot be used at Newlands and children will be stopped from riding any powered vehicle. Children are welcome to ride bicycles around the Park however it is your responsibility that they do so competently and safely and are aware of other traffic. Electric Cars and vehicles of any kind may not be charged using Newlands Power supply (except at the designated car charging point) failure to comply will result in you being asked to leave the park with no refund.
