Book your half-term holiday at Ladram Bay.
What’s On Over October Half-Term?
Book your Summer stay at Ladram Bay and give the family all of this to look forward to!
We know that booking holidays can often feel like a stressful event, with so many options and things to consider. We’ve put together our top tips for perfectly planning your 2024 holiday.
Plan around 2024 bank holidays
Not only are long weekends at Ladram Bay the perfect escape from reality but booking a whole week off around a bank holiday means you get to save a day or two of your all-important holiday allowance and have a nice long (and well needed) break, too.
Book for annual events
Outside of the summer holidays, we host plenty of entertainment around the Easter holidays and Halloween to name but a couple. There’s fun for the whole family – from Easter egg hunts for the little ones to fancy dress parties for young and old. It’s always worth a visit to see what we’ve got going on! Check out or visiting acts, too. With a full entertainment programme all season long, there’ll be something you love.
Book ahead
Save on stress and plan your 2024 holiday well in advance. You’ll thank yourself next year! We offer a deposit scheme that allows you to pay the balance eight weeks in advance of your holiday, which gives you plenty of room to breathe.
Look at off-peak dates
We know the buzz of the summer holidays isn’t for everyone. For maximum R&R, look at dates outside of peak season when the weather is still warm but the little ones are back at school. Our season runs from March to November, so there’s plenty of time to explore the Jurassic Coast in a laid-back fashion.
Check for last-minute staycations
Not a forward planner and fancy a spontaneous getaway? Why not. It’s always worth checking availability online or giving us a call on 01395 568398 – you never know what will be available last-minute in your budget.
Explore different accommodation types
We’ve got lots of different accommodation types here at Ladram Bay depending on what kind of holiday you fancy. If you love being in the great outdoors, bring your tent or tourer and enjoy views out across the bay, or glamp in one of our Otterpods and experience the best of both worlds.
If a little luxury is your idea of a holiday, our sea-view holiday homes and lodges can’t be beaten for the ultimate family getaway. Give it a try and have a holiday you won’t forget.
Booking your 2024 holiday – our 6 top tips
The sun has arrived here at Ladram Bay and we’re all looking forward to a busy summer season – we hope you are too.
We’d like to say a big thank you to all of you who have commented on the cleanliness of the park and how nice the grounds are looking. We must admit, the flowerbeds are some of the best we’ve seen on any park, so a big shout out to all the hard-working gardeners and grounds teams. A big thank you, too, to the whole team here at Ladram Bay for dealing with everything that gets thrown at them on a day-to-day basis. We’re sure you’ll agree they’re all superstars.
There’s been some famous faces here at Ladram Bay over the last few months. It’s been great to have been showcased on both ITV’s This Morning when we welcomed Josie Gibson to the park – airing in August – and Channel 4’s Best of British By The Sea earlier this year with Ainsley Harriott and Grace Dent. It’s wonderful to see our park get recognised nationally. It was also great to invite Exeter City Football Club for lunch as part of their pre-season schedule earlier this month. It never stops!
We’ve got various street food vendors coming our way throughout the summer months as well. Please let us know which ones you enjoy and we’ll make sure they keep coming back.
We’re pleased to introduce our recent Team Stars to you – these are the team members who shine in their roles and help create five-star stays. Make sure to say congratulations to them when you next see them.

As always, we’ve found our selection of Small Plates to be proving hugely popular amongst you, if you haven’t had a chance to indulge, make time in the sun. Check out our specials board as Caroline and the team introduce us to some of their creations.
