FOLLOWING ITS LATEST accquisitions, Landal GreenParks boasts ten resorts across the UK.
Back-to-nature holiday brand Landal GreenParks has expanded its growing UK portfolio with the addition of a three new holiday resorts, as it continues to be one of the fastest growing lodge holiday brands in the UK and capitalise on the surge in demand for staycation holidays. Welcomed into the group are Landal Barton Pines in Devon, Landal Rockingham Forest in Northamptonshire and Landal Vale of Usk in Monmouthshire – the brand’s first holiday resort inWales – and brings the number of parks to ten across the UK since their launch in 2017.
Landal GreenParks originated in Holland in 1954 and now offers over 100 locations across nine European countries including the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Austria, and the UK is the 9th territory for Landal GreenParks to launch into. “We are delighted to welcome our latest additions to the Landal family,” said Paul Hardingham, Managing Director of Landal GreenParks UK. “When we brought the concept to the UK we were confident it would appeal to British holidaymakers, as there wasn’t anything offering the same experience, but we’ve been astounded by the popularity our current locations.” “The next stage for us was to add more resorts within the UK to build on our successes, so we are pleased to announce plans for three new locations this year and have more in the pipeline for the near future.” “It’s been a challenging 18 months for the industry, but it is evident that holidays which bring guests closer to nature and give them the chance to explore the diverse outdoor space in the UK is exactly what guests want right now.”
Landal’s seven other sites are spread across the UK including the Peak District, Kielder Water & Forest Park, the Cornish coastline and Scottish countryside. The company offers 15,000 holiday homes, has 3,000 employees and provides 14.5 million overnight stays to 2.8 million guests per year.

We admire the five star quality of Northumberland’s Amble Links Retreat…
Just a short stroll from the quaint fishing town of Amble and a stone’s throw from the spectacular, unspoiled beaches of Northumberland, you could say the heart of the appeal of the Amble Links Coastal Retreat & Holiday Park is its location, or, its location – oh yes, and that location. Apart from the picturesque immediate surroundings, owners at the park are placed in the perfect location to take advantage of everything that Northumberland has to offer. Whether it’s a relaxing stroll and unwind on the beach, or an all-action day out full of exploration, owners can create their own perfect holiday. Alnwick, Bamburgh and their castles, Northumberland National Park, Kielder Water, Holy Island and miles upon miles of coast are but a few attractions. Even the sights and sounds of Newcastle are within reach, just 40 minutes’ drive away. So it’s true to say that location is vitally important. The team at Amble Links are always looking for new ways to enhance the on-park experience of the holiday home ownership team. This is our challenge and ambition for the future. “One of the biggest challenges for the Amble Links team is maintaining the high, five-star standard of service,” reflects Brian Docherty, General Manager at Amble. “We want to build on the work that has seen Amble Links receive this Visit England award for so many consecutive years,” Brian continues.
ALL YEAR ROUND
“Our 12-month season allows our owners to visit their holiday home 365 days a year, to see all those towns, villages and attractions and that make the North East so great in another light, without the crowds,” he says. “With most holiday parks, you’re restricted to certain times of the year. In the North East, it’s common for gates to close in November, not reopening until March. “During these quieter autumn and winter months, you’re missing out on Northumberland at its most beautiful. We’re talking refreshing morning walks across the crisp, wintery sand dunes. The spectacular sight of the frosty, rolling countryside. Cosy pub lunches by a roaring fire in Northumberland’s finest eateries. Fortunately, here at Amble Links, there’s a 12-month season.” A range of accommodation is offered at Amble Links from static caravans and lodges of various sizes and prices, new and pre-owned. Some of the most sought-after holiday homes at Amble Links would be the 2020 Willerby Vogue Classique or the 2020 ABI Beaumont. Behind their appeal are high-end interiors, spacious open-plan living areas, large free-standing sofas, kitchen and dining areas as well as two bedrooms, each with ensuite. At Amble Links, pride is placed on offering owners a lavish on-park experience. As well as an indoor pool, sauna, steam room and gym, there’s the owners’ bar and entertainment lounge. That’s not forgetting the on-site restaurant and pub, The Old Storehouse, where delicious belly warmers are being served throughout the colder months; for quicker bites to eat, there’s also our pizzeria and café, The Pantry.
PLAY AWAY
The on-park children’s adventure playground and entertainment means that the little ones will be kept busy too. Brian again: “Many owners choose us because we also warmly welcome family members on four legs, as well as those on two. “The park is completely pet friendly, meaning owners don’t need to bother with the stress and expense of dog kennels when they’re planning their getaways.” Whether it’s the sales team, food and beverage team, our healthcare assistants, grounds managers or customer care advisors, everyone plays a crucial role in upholding Amble Links’ award-winning standards. It’s their proud job to ensure the park delivers a luxury holiday home ownership experience. “At Amble Links, quality is our passion. We’re dedicated to offering top quality service to match our five-star location and facilities" adds Brian I’m extremely proud of the team’s unbelievable work in achieving this and welcome guests to come and see for themselves just how special our park and community really is.”
