We have two lodges offering breaks for carers: one in Devon and one in Weymouth. These breaks are for carers who support someone who pays Council Tax to BCP Council.

The purpose of these breaks is to provide carers with an opportunity to take a break from the demands of their caring role and focus on their own health and wellbeing.

Please note: We are not currently taking new bookings for the Weymouth lodge. We will share an update here as soon as bookings become available again.

To apply for a lodge break, you must:

If you’re not registered yet, you can join the Carers Information Service by completing our online registration form.

Before booking, please read our Booking Terms and Lodge and Beach Hut Care Policy. These explain how bookings, payments and cancellations work, and what we ask of carers when using our beach huts.

To apply, you'll need to complete our application form.

Because we have a limited number of breaks, we review all applications carefully. This helps us offer respite breaks to carers who may benefit from an opportunity to take time away from the demands of their caring role.

After we review your application, we’ll contact you by email or post to let you know the outcome.

Because the lodges are very popular, carers can book a lodge once every two years.

There’s a £20 per night booking fee.

You’ll need to arrange and pay for your own travel and any trips while you’re there.

Most park facilities are free to use during the season. There’s a small charge for using the leisure facilities at the Weymouth lodge.

Breaks run from Monday to Friday or Friday to Monday.

The holiday parks and their facilities are open from March to October or November.

Pets aren’t allowed at either lodge.
