Sunnydale Holiday Park

Had enough of the boss making you do all the donkey work? Fed up with working like a pack mule? Feel like it’s been donkey’s years since your last holiday? Come and kick your heels with the real donkeys on Mablethorpe beach for a few days instead.

Set on the north Lincolnshire coast 20 minutes' drive from Louth, Sunnydale Holiday Park opens out onto a wide stretch of sandy beach for seaside strolls, and is a 15-minute drive from the family-friendly cluster of beachy activities in the resort of Mablethorpe (think fairground rides, donkeys and crazy golf… along with chip-eating and sandcastle-building of course).

Dipped your toe in the sea and declared it a touch chilly for swims? Get your cossie on back at the park, where the indoor pool promises suitably heated waters in all weather. And if you'd rather sit by the water than dunk yourself in it, bring along a rod licence for days spent by the site's coarse fishing pond.

Keeping the kids busy should be straightforward here: there are great kids’ clubs for children under 11, an adventure playground and soft play area, plus a range of organised sports activities on land and in the pool. During the summer there's also a range of lively shows laid on to keep the whole family entertained for the evening. And keeping everyone fed and watered should be a cinch too, as the lounge bar has you sorted for a good range of grub (and suitable drinks) at breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus snacks throughout the day.
