Barmouth Bay Holiday Park presents
Park Life
What’s happening at
Hello from Stacey It's been a great start to the season, and we have loved seeing you all back enjoying the park and the swimming pool. We had an absolute blast at the music weekender with visiting acts from Away Resorts Art Co, including Tina Turner and Bruno Mars tributes. Despite the blustery weather it was fantastic to see so many of you joining in with the fun, games and dancing, we cannot wait for next year already! Acting upon feedback we have received from some of you, we have added some new style dog waste bins around the park on the bin bays. Let us know what you think. Remember we do have spare doggie bags in guest services if you are running low on supplies. The summer is now nearly upon us, and we are particularly looking forward to the colour festival and cream pie fight, so keep your eyes peeled for more information on times and locations for these. Until next time I hope you have chance to sit back relax and enjoy the sunshine!
Kind regards
Stacey Taylor

Farewell to Shaun and Jess Shaun Williams from Holiday Home Sales and Jess Lewis from Guest Services are relocating to Cornwall. Although we will be sad to see them leave, we wish them all the best for the future and are sure they won’t be able to resist popping back for a holiday.
We're proud as punch of Scott Scott Moncrieff did Barmouth Bay proud on his visit to Buckingham palace last month to collect his Queen’s award for voluntary service during the pandemic. Well done Scott!
Our last owners’ hero, voted by you, went to Jess Lewis from Guest services. She was so happy with your kind words. If you’ve been blown away by a member of our team, please do let us know so that we can recognise them and give them a future shout out: barmouthguestservices@awayresorts.co.uk

An update from Carl Hi all, it’s been a while since my last message to you; I hope you are well. Just under 12 months ago, we embarked on the integration of Aria Resorts into Away Resorts. Our aim with this acquisition was to build on our current reputation as one of the industry’s leading operators, giving our guests, holiday homeowners and team members authentic, unique, and ethical experiences. The bulk of our integration work has been completed and we now have 24 locations with the Away Resorts' flag proudly flying. While you may have noticed some changes on park, I want to assure you that you’re in safe hands. We’re an ambitious business looking to grow but are equally committed to regularly investing in our current locations. Over the next three years, we are looking to deploy 50 million pounds worth of capital across the business annually; this investment will introduce new bars and restaurants, swimming pools, enhanced technical infrastructure, and improved park grounds and maintenance. As a community of Holiday Homeowners, you play a crucial part in the park’s success, and I thank you in advance for your continued support. Should you have any initial feedback or comments, remember our team members (who we lovingly refer to as Holiday Heroes) are always on hand to help. I am so pleased that you will be joining us on this continued journey, and I hope that you get some time to enjoy your wonderful holiday home over the summer season. I look forward to meeting some of you on my travels. See you soon!
Carl Castledine
CEO of Away Resorts
Fancy a change of
Scene?
If you’ve tried out all the local restaurants, visited the most scenic beauty spots and enjoyed a pint in all the best bars around your holiday home; and are now hankering for something new, ask us about upgrading into a holiday home at one of our other parks. With 19 ownership locations, there are plenty to choose from! It may be possible for you to upgrade into a holiday home at a park which has additional facilities that you fancy having regular access to, has a little more peace and quiet; or that is in a location that you are desperate to explore. Just pop into your sales office and speak to the team who will be happy to help you explore all the opportunities. If you are happy where you are, but just fancy looking at a holiday home with an extra bedroom, perhaps an en-suite bathroom or a breakfast bar for lazy weekend brunches, we can help with that too! We can provide a personalised upgrade quote for you and talk you through your finance options, plus your new purchase will benefit from our warranty plus program!
