Devon Valley Holiday Park announces proposed closure
They say running the park in its current format is "no longer viable"
Devon Valley Holiday Village has announced that they plan to not open for the 2023 season.
The Park have issued a statement online, with a proposed closure for December 1, 2022.
They say that the continuing to run the park in its current format is "no longer viable".
The full statement said: "It is with much regret that we are announcing the proposed closure of Devon Valley Holiday Park on December 1, 2022.
"Following our eight months of ownership, we have concluded that the park, after 20 years of a visible lack of investment, is neither profitable nor reflective of the standards we want to offer guests.
"It is therefore envisaged that the park will not open for the 2023 season, and all bookings will be refunded.
"In these uncertain and difficult times, with a looming recession and the business facing a 300% increase in electricity costs, along with increasing staff costs, it has been regrettably concluded that to continue running this park in its current format is no longer viable.
"Devon Valley occupies a unique waterfront location in prime South Devon. It therefore has much potential moving forward. However, its current condition has resulted in high levels of customer complaints, and it fails to provide a holiday experience befitting of its beautiful location.
"We know that for many of you, this will be a shock, and we appreciate the importance Devon Valley has played in your family holidays over the years. We sincerely thank you for your business and support.
"If you have a booking for 2023, please get in touch with us at 0344 557 5100. As you will appreciate, our staff will be busy dealing with many calls, so we request your patience while we process your refund."
