Accessibility and Inclusivity

We’re committed to providing a fantastic family experience for all. Making our holidays accessible for everyone is something that we take pride in and are always looking for new ways to adapt and develop. Our staff are always happy to help in any way they can.

There is level or ramp access to all facilities across the park. The main facilities are situated on a small slope, however each of the facilities can be accessed via steps, or a ramp. When dining at any of our restaurants, there is the option to sit in the large seating areas outside, or inside the restaurant. Double doors or conservatory sliding doors can also be used to access the main restaurant The Terrace Bar and Restaurant. Once inside our holiday home accommodation (accessed via steps or a ramp) all rooms are on level access.

Accommodation

We have fitted ramp access to a number of Godrevy  and Mawgan  holiday homes and also the Kynance holiday home to make accessing the accommodation that little bit easier. Those that have ramps fitted are situated in areas of the park that are closest to the main facilities. All accommodation gets allocated on arrival, so please do let us know prior to arrival if you require ramp access or to be closer to the main facilities this way we can ensure you are allocated the best holiday home to suit you.

Hidden Disabilities Sunflower

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a simple tool for people to voluntarily share that they have a disability or condition that may not be immediately apparent – and that they may need a helping hand, understanding, or more time in shops, at work, on transport, or in public spaces.

By supporting this scheme we have made staff aware of the hidden disabilities, and how to accommodate them on Park

Sunflower bands are available at Oasis Reception and Park Reception, free of charge, should you wish to wear one and help make our staff aware that you may need a helping hand, understanding, or more time.
