Scotty Respite Breaks

Scotty’s owns six holiday homes located at different Haven sites across the UK, giving your family the chance to enjoy a change of scenery and make positive memories together.

Our respite breaks focus on providing a safe and calm environment where families can relax, spend quality time together, and step away from everyday pressures.

Week-long breaks are available from March to November and typically last seven nights, from Friday to Friday. However, you can choose different arrival and departure days if you would prefer a shorter stay.

The breaks are free of charge, and we can also help towards travel costs if needed. Inside each lodge, you’ll find an Owners Card, which gives discounts on activities and around the park.

Our breaks are available to Scotty Members and Springboarders aged 0–25 and their families. As the lodges sleep up to six people. One of our lodges in Devon is dog-friendly too, so if needed, your furry friend can come along as well.
