w NeDevelopments We’re making great progress on our new developments at Tattershall Lakes and we hope you’re as excited as we are! You all had the chance to name our brand new sky bar and we can’t wait to open up Bar 49 at Easter.

Along with this, we’ve also got an extended beach area coming and a brand new indoor splash zone for you all to enjoy. If you’re not following us on our social pages yet, be sure to keep an eye out for updates and images!
General Manager Another great year for us at Tattershall Lakes. With lots of developments going on, we’re sure that your favourite holiday park is coming back even bigger and better! We really appreciate all of your patience with us whilst we create this amazing space for you all to enjoy. Just a reminder that there will be testing of the electrical system which may cause some power outages whilst testing and remedials are being carried out. These are essential to the operation to ensure the entire electrical infrastructure is safe and certificated for the 2019 season.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and where possible we will advise of the works beforehand. The winters are getting colder and colder so in preparation for this cold weather, please make sure you drain down your holiday home and not get caught out like last year! The park is a gorgeous place in winter and well worth a brisk early morning walk around, if you haven’t had too much festive fizz the night before! I’d also like to take this moment to thank you for all your continued support this year, let’s make next year an even better one!

In 1989, Ray Oldenburg published a book about civil society, democracy and civil engagement. Oldenburg suggests that for a healthy existence, citizens must live in a balance of three realms: home life which is the first place, the workplace which is the second, and the inclusively sociable places which are the third. You’re probably wondering what has this got to do with Away Resorts? Well, we have an exciting new brand coming soon for all our lovely owners, The Third Place Social, showcasing never before seen owners events plus much more!
We believe that The Third Place are the anchors of the community and facilitate more creative interaction between each other. A neutral ground where you are free to come and go as you please, no importance of status in society, witty conversation and frivolous banter are not only common, but highly valued but also having the same feelings of warmth, possession and belonging as they would in their own homes. We want to make Away Resorts be the ‘third place’ in your life – A place to relax, a place with familiar faces & a place for new friends.
Look out for more information coming later this month!

Private Sublets
If you already sublet your holiday home privately, please remember that the key handling and responsibilities lie with you, the owner, to look after. Please ensure your guests are aware they are required to have Guest Passes to use the central facilities – these can be purchased from Guest Services. Any
complaints need to be dealt with by you and it is your responsibility to advise your guests accordingly. In the case of a private sublet, we unfortunately have no knowledge or record of the booking or what has been communicated/agreed with each guest. In all instances, a private sublet guest who contacts us will be directed back to you, the owner.

ot tub Hhousekeeping If you have a hot tub, we want you and your family and friends to use and enjoy it safely. It is important to be aware of the potential risks that can arise. Hot tubs are a recognised source of diseases and there have been a number of recorded outbreaks of Legionnaires which have included fatalities linked to poorly designed and/ or managed hot tubs. Legionnaires is usually caught by breathing in small droplets of contaminated water. This means that other park guests may be exposed to it even if they are not using your hot tub. We expect you to maintain your hot tubs to ensure the safety for all.

Please note that if you are subletting your Holiday Home, you will be deemed to be undertaking a commercial operation and your legal responsibilities with regards to the management of hot tubs will be more stringent. For more information on your responsibilities or if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
