What are your season dates?

Can I bring my dog?
Hill of Oaks is a dog-friendly holiday park. Please note that there is an additional charge for dogs staying in all self-catering and glamping accommodation. For short stays, the charge for dogs is £25 per dog/per stay. For stays of 7 nights or more, the charge is £40 per dog/per stay. A maximum of 2 dogs is allowed per accommodation.
While we love welcoming dogs to Hill of Oaks, we also recognise the needs of guests with allergies. Therefore, we offer dog-free accommodation options. However, please be aware that where accommodation is listed as not dog-friendly, this does not guarantee that the property has not been occupied by pets in the past.

We're excited for you to enjoy the water during your stay! Unfortunately, boats on trailers aren't permitted on-site. Good news though — you can bring your canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, and inflatables. A small charge applies, and we kindly ask that these be stored directly at your accommodation.

Do you have an electric car charging point?
Yes - we have 2 double 11kW EV chargers on-site. Charges apply. Please download the Monta app in advance of your stay and follow the instructions to charge your vehicle. This is the link for the Monta app in Apple and Android stores. https://monta.com/uk/monta-charge/

I am staying in a safari tent, what should I bring?
Your safari tent is fully prepared with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. That said, to truly enhance your comfort during the cooler months (September through January), we strongly recommend bringing extra layers and blankets to ensure you stay warm.
