The operators of Ladram Bay Holiday Park and Castle Brake in Devon have announced an off-season investment plan totaling more than £1.3 million ahead of the 2026 season. The improvements are intended to expand guest capacity and upgrade facilities across both parks.
At Ladram Bay, over £1 million will be invested in a variety of developments designed to enhance accommodation and on-site amenities. This includes the addition of 13 new three-bedroom holiday homes to meet growing demand from families and larger groups.
The park is also refurbishing its women’s showers and toilets and rebuilding its pirate ship outdoor play feature.
Dining and entertainment facilities are also being upgraded, with enhancements at Pebbles restaurant including new outdoor seating, external speakers for events, and the installation of silent disco equipment intended to provide family-friendly entertainment with minimal noise impact.
Castle Brake, located approximately nine miles from Ladram Bay, will see £300,000 allocated to redeveloping an existing touring field into a static caravan area. The project will include hardstanding bases, two new holiday lodges, and supporting infrastructure.
Zoe House, director of Ladram Bay, told Out&AboutLive, “We are incredibly proud to be investing in both Ladram Bay and Castle Brake this winter, ensuring our parks continue to offer the high standards and memorable experiences our guests deserve. Our commitment to improvement is at the heart of our family-owned values and reflects our long-term dedication to providing great-value holidays for generations to come.”
All work is scheduled to be completed during the parks’ winter shutdown, with both locations set to reopen on Friday, 13 March 2026.
For industry professionals, the scale and focus of these upgrades highlight trends in outdoor hospitality, including growing demand for larger family accommodations, investment in guest experience through facility refurbishment, and the integration of innovative entertainment options that balance appeal and operational considerations.
Parks seeking to remain competitive may consider similar phased investments during off-season periods to prepare for seasonal peaks.
