Pennant Park Resort, a holiday resort in Flintshire, North Wales, has changed ownership following its sale by Wayfind Escapes Ltd to Arden Parks for an undisclosed sum. The transaction was completed by Savills, which acted on behalf of the seller.
Located near Holywell, Pennant Park Resort occupies approximately 45 hectares and combines holiday accommodation with leisure and hospitality facilities. The property includes an established lodge development, an 18-hole golf course, and a clubhouse that has recently undergone refurbishment.
The resort currently features 72 developed holiday lodge pitches and benefits from planning permission for an additional 18 holiday units. Its revenue streams include holiday lettings, lodge ownership, golf operations, and food and beverage services. According to Savills, the business has also benefited from recent investment across the estate and its facilities.
The acquisition adds another holiday park asset to Arden Parks’ portfolio and reflects continued investor interest in parks that offer multiple sources of income and opportunities for future growth.
Properties with existing infrastructure, operational businesses, and approved expansion plans have remained attractive to operators seeking to increase capacity while reducing development risk.
Richard Prestwich, Director in the leisure and trading team at Savills, told GolfBusinessNews: “Pennant Park is exactly the type of asset attracting attention from established operators – a trading holiday park with multiple income streams, alongside the infrastructure and planning in place to take it further.
For Arden Parks, it represents an opportunity to build on an already strong business and continue enhancing the on-site offer, while also underlining how sought-after well-invested, scalable parks have become.”
While financial details of the transaction were not disclosed, the sale highlights ongoing activity within the holiday park sector, where operators continue to evaluate opportunities that combine accommodation, recreation, and hospitality offerings.
Resorts that can generate income from several business segments are often viewed as better positioned to manage seasonal fluctuations and changing consumer demand.
For outdoor hospitality professionals, the transaction illustrates the value investors place on diversified operations and approved expansion potential.
Parks with established guest accommodations, complementary amenities such as golf or food and beverage operations, and available development capacity may be better positioned to attract buyers and secure long-term growth opportunities.
The sale also underscores the importance of ongoing capital investment in facilities, as upgraded infrastructure and modernized amenities can strengthen a property’s market appeal and support future valuation.
