Welcome to Delamere Lake & Sailing Holiday Park

Our friendly and knowledgeable team is here to help so please don’t hesitate to come in and see us. If you have any concerns with your accommodation, please let us know straight away – your holiday enjoyment is our primary concern.

Reception opening hours:

Daily 8.30am - 5pm
Telephone: 01606 210313

Out of hours assistance:

A large range of leaflets and information booklets are on display in the launderette and our reception team will be happy to help you plan your days out.

Should you wish to leave feedback on your stay with us, please fill in the freepost questionnaire in your welcome pack.

Your accommodation is situated in a picturesque setting and provides a unique and relaxing holiday environment. It is superbly equipped and beautifully styled so what could be more enjoyable than watching the sun set over the trees from your private balcony.

Our maintenance and housekeeping teams have fully checked the lodge prior to your arrival so we are confident that you will have a trouble-free stay. However if you do find something amiss, or if something goes wrong during your stay, please advise us as soon as possible.

All our accommodation is non smoking.

You are welcome to bring your own BBQ or use a disposable BBQ on your decking area. We request that disposable BBQs are not placed directly on the decking or outdoor furniture as this will result in damage.

Your boiler operates your hot water system and, unless your lodge has electric heaters, will also power your heating system which is radiators. If you have any problems with either your heating or your hot water, please contact reception and a member of our maintenance team will have a look for you.

Please do not encourage children to play on the roads; the roads are in constant use. Please ensure that you know where your children are at all times. In the event of a lost or missing child please contact the reception on 01606 210313. You will need to provide us with as much information as possible including where the child was last seen and a description of the child and their clothing; we will then send a team out to search for your child.

Although it's sad to say goodbye, all good things must come to an end. Your check out time is 10am on the last day of your stay.

We hope you enjoy your stay with us here at Delamere Lake Sailing & Holiday Park. Your opinion counts so we would be very grateful if you could complete the questionnaire which was enclosed within your welcome information pack. We use the information you provide to improve our performance. Your views are taken extremely seriously so please help us to enhance your future holidays with us.

A ramp exists for easy access to the main complex building. Our disabled toilet is available in the main complex building.

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, please remove the larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming blocked, and load dishes with care.

Please familiarise yourself with the exit route from your lodge.
All necessary fire and safety precautions must be taken when using portable barbecues. All lodges have smoke detectors. We check the batteries regularly, but if you do need a replacement battery during your stay, please contact reception.

All our public areas are fitted with fire alarms. If the alarm sounds, please evacuate the building following the instruction of our team members who are fully trained for this eventuality.

We trust that you will enjoy your hot tub. We are certain that this will be one of your special holiday memories. Our maintenance team has cleaned and checked your hot tub prior to your arrival. A member of the team will check the hot tub at regular intervals during your stay. We would kindly request that you do not enter the accommodation with wet feet.

The hot tubs are set on a heater/filtration timing system which runs daily between 8 am and 10.30 pm.

The oven (electric)

The oven is heated by two elements, one at the top of the oven and the other underneath the floor of the oven.

To heat the oven, turn the selector switch to the required function. The control panel illumination and oven light will remain on. Then turn the oven temperature control to the required temperature. The oven indicator light will immediately come on and will remain on until the oven reaches the set temperature. This light will then automatically go on and off during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.

Food should not be placed on the floor of the oven.

For gas ovens, turn the oven selector to the desired position and depress either the knob or the igniter button to light the gas. Hold the knob for five seconds before releasing it.

The grill (electric)

Select the cooking method by turning the control knob to select the required grill setting. The interior light will come on and the grill is ready to use.

For grilling and toasting use a full-width grill setting, the half grill is suitable for small quantities of food as only the inner part of the grill will heat up. Once you have chosen the required setting, the indicator will light and remain on until the required internal temperature is reached. The indicator will go on and off throughout cooking although the grill remains on. To turn the grill off turn the selector switch to position 0.

For gas grills, follow the procedure for gas ovens using the grill selector.

Please help us to recycle and ensure that items are placed in the correct collection point. If we contaminate our recycling waste by putting incorrect items into the bins it is refused and the whole load is then taken to a landfill site!
