Owners

  • Please remember to arrange the winterisation (drain down) of your holiday home. If you have not already been contacted by one of our approved plumbing contractors detailed below, we advise that you make contact as soon as possible to secure your winterisation dates: 

    Please ensure that park reception have a key on file for contractor access.

    In general, contractors will winterise your holiday home on, or just after your leaving date, and will reconnect the water system and conduct a test for your return date in the new season. This will ensure that the water is drained from all of the pipes and that the appropriate level of antifreeze is used in the central heating system to protect from the frost.

    We do not recommend carrying out the drain down procedure yourself as you will be responsible for any burst water pipes, damages to your boiler and any subsequent related damages. Any damages caused by self winterisation could invalidate your Landlord’s Gas Safety Inspection Certificate and any outstanding warranty.

    Further advice can be found within our Owner's Guide.

  • Read and download the latest version of our Owner's Guide.

  • Our Elie, St Andrews and St Monans Holiday Parks open at 9am on 1st March and close at 4pm on 30th November for owners.

  • Upgrading your holiday home is an exciting time and you'll no doubt have lots of questions. This short, informative video will help answer those questions and will explain what you can expect to happen at each stage.
