It has been fantastic to see so many guests enjoying peak season, we can hardly believe summer has been and gone already!
Every department has worked so hard in keeping things going during what has been a challenging time for all. We’d like to extend a huge well done.
Summer 2021 has boasted many highlights. You may have spotted our feature on ITV’s This Morning as part of presenter Josie Gibson’s recent challenge to master the art of paddle boarding after a lesson from expert SUP instructor @beachy_becks. Following her charming showcasing of the bay, and desire to return for a summer stay, Josie was the perfect choice to cut the ribbon for the official opening of our new Adventure Playground alongside her lovely family.
2021 saw the launch of our summer street food festival. Culinary delights included seafood from Harry’s Kitchen, Indian dishes with Simon’s Kitchen, and woodfired pizzas from Dough Bros. We have been proud to host such creative and diverse vendors throughout the summer and do hope to include them in future October plans and the season ahead.
The August bank holiday attracts many excited guests to Ladram Bay and this year was no exception. We were happy to welcome a pod of dolphin visitors back to our waters and lucky Neil & Bev Sudgen captured some amazing video footage. Here’s hoping they become regular visitors!
We’re delighted to have recently invested in 5 brand-new top-of the range washing machines to be housed within our main Launderette adjacent to the Reception building. In addition to a more reliable and efficient service, these impressive new machines now available will include a contactless option for payment.
A Sensational Team
Our incredible team have time & time again demonstrated their commitment, determination, and superb skills. Summer superstars of our monthly #teamstar accolade include:
May – Dina, Housekeeping Always reliable and extremely loyal, cleaning both accommodation (more holiday homes than ever before to an exceptional level!) plus park facilities, it’s a pleasure to have her on our team.
June – Guy, Restaurant Supervisor Consistently a strong performer providing huge support to the Three Rocks management team and inspiring those around with a positive can-do attitude.
July – Toby, Maintenance Labelled as ‘Ladram’s Most Improved Team Member’ Toby’s knowledge and skillset continues to grow and grow, matching his contagious enthusiasm.
August – Ben, Leisure Demonstrating an excellent work ethic and commitment to helping others; Ben’s determination and superb communication skills have been a fundamental asset to the team.
After an outstanding 8 years of dedication to her role at Ladram Bay Holiday Park, we’ve waved goodbye to our wonderful Jobs Controller Jasmin Horne. Originally joining us in 2013 as a member of the Reception team, Jas has proved to be a loyal, talented, and driven team player, strengths which she will no doubt need in her new administration role. We’d like to take this opportunity to wish Jasmin all the very best for her exciting future and thank her for her hard work and commitment, we’ll all really miss her!
Joining the office team and taking over the helm from Jasmin in the pivotal position of Jobs Controller is Sam Brown.
“I’m originally from the East Coast but mostly grew up in Gloucestershire. I’ve moved around quite a bit including Lancashire, South Devon and most recently just north of Bristol. However, the pull of the Devon coast has led me to find the stunning Ladram Bay and I’m looking forward to making this rather special place my home.
After spending many years working in primary education and healthcare, I’m looking forward to working in a new environment and seeing people at their happiest. And who could be happier than being by the sea in a place like Ladram Bay, where I’ve already received the warmest welcome.”
Another team member to introduce: affectionally known as ‘Big Boy’ our brand new tractor, the John Deere 6100m, boasts a max power of 111hp. Perfect for essential jobs plus caravan and motorhome manoeuvres. We’re not sure it will stay this sparkly clean for long though!
The Three Rocks
We are so happy to finally have a sense of normality and are able welcome people back through the doors with lowered restrictions. The investment in the booking system has greatly helped us in Pebbles over the summer in controlling bookings and the flow: please continue to book via the app or the website where possible.
Our complex team are the true embodiment of a united front, with this incredible group pulling together through several challenges thrown our way. From the ‘pingdemic’ to hospitality shortages, they have honestly been our greatest asset and have never failed to continually amaze us with their dedication and energy! We are so proud and lucky to have such a talented team working with us and happy to be moving into quieter days with the hope of getting some well-needed rest. Our Team Leader, Guy, deservedly achieved Team Star of the Month for August for his huge efforts and involvement in aiding the Management Team with the running of the Three Rocks through this eventful period. A huge shout out to Team Leader, Harry, who achieved a summer recognition in July for his outstanding performance in running Waves Bar and for always being a positive force! We wish him good luck, along with a few of our others who are now beginning their university journeys.
As you can imagine, the kitchen team have been exceptionally busy with our new Head Chef Caroline thrown straight in at the deep end! Despite adjusting the menu through our challenging period, she and the team have continued to experiment with some delicious specials, including some enticing fish dishes such as the Seafood Linguini and the Pan-seared Seabass, as well as modern twists of classics including the Pork, Cheddar and Black pudding Scotch Egg. They are looking forward to creating some seasonal specials for the upcoming weeks so please keep an eye out on the specials board.
The bar team’s cocktail menu has been a hit over the summer, and they are excited to play around with some creative autumnal cocktails. Watch out for their newest inventions very soon.
Thank you to everyone who has dined or drank with us over the holidays – we are so grateful for your support.
Entertainment
Since the relaxation of the rules in July, we’ve been so happy to get you back where you belong: on the dance floor and enjoying many a night in Waves Bar with us!
We have been fortunate to have some absolutely fantastic live acts from bands, singers, comedians, wrestling & science shows, to PJ parties and fancy dress nights.
Still lots to look forward to this season, including Halloween with plenty of ‘spooktacular’ activities and fancy dress parties. As always do check out the diary for our our listing of visiting acts over autumn.

Are you dreaming of your own holiday home in Devon? This picturesque region, known for its stunning coastline & landscapes, offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. However, purchasing a holiday home is a significant decision that requires careful consideration. Below, we outline key factors to guide you in making an informed choice when looking at holiday homes for sale in Devon.
Location, Location, Location
Accessibility: Consider how easy it is to travel to and from your potential holiday home. Proximity to major roads, airports, and public transport can affect your usage and sublet potential.
Surroundings: Are you looking for a serene countryside retreat, a beachside haven, or a holiday caravan in the heart of a bustling village? Devon offers diverse settings to match your lifestyle preferences.
Local Amenities: Explore the availability of local shops, restaurants, healthcare facilities, and entertainment options. The convenience of local amenities can significantly enhance your stay.
Caravan Type and Features
Size and Layout: Think about how much space you need, considering the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas. A well-thought-out layout is crucial to comfort, especially if you plan to host friends or rent it out.
Maintenance: Evaluate the condition of the caravan or lodge and consider ongoing maintenance requirements. Newer units may offer easier upkeep.
Facilities and Extras: Features such as parking spaces, outdoor areas, and on-site facilities (e.g., swimming pools and access to leisure activities) can add significant value and enjoyment to your holiday home.
Dog Friendly: Is the park dog friendly? Would you like to bring your four-legged friend away on a dog-friendly holiday in Devon?
Financial Implications
Potential for Sublet Income: If you’re considering renting out your holiday home when it‘s not in use, research the offers available by subletting directly. Remember to account for periods of personal use.
Insurance and Security: Holiday homes, particularly those in coastal areas, may have specific insurance requirements. Additionally, consider the security of the lodge or caravan, especially if it will be unoccupied for periods.
Lifestyle Fit
Community and Culture: Engage with the local community on-site to ensure the area feels like a good fit for you and your family. A sense of belonging can enhance your enjoyment and satisfaction.
Activities and Interests: Consider whether the area supports your hobbies and interests, whether it’s hiking, surfing, art, or dining out. Devon’s diverse landscapes and communities offer a wide range of activities year-round.
