Summer highlights to enjoy during your stay

Explore Dorset from your perfect base

South Lytchett Manor is brilliantly placed for discovering the best of Dorset in summer. Spend your days at nearby award-winning beaches, explore Poole Quay and the harbour, head to Swanage for a traditional seaside day out, or venture along the Jurassic Coast for unforgettable views and family fossil hunting adventures. Whether you like walking, cycling, sightseeing or simply finding a great pub for lunch, there’s something different to enjoy every day.

Make the most of easy summer evenings

One of the joys of a summer stay is returning to the park after a day out and settling into holiday mode for the evening. Enjoy a drink from The Manor’s Tap, pick up a handmade pizza from The Manor’s Crust, or treat yourself to dinner from one of our visiting catering vans. No need to cook, no need to rush, just good food, fresh air and time to relax.

Enjoy the little rituals of a camping holiday

The best camping and caravanning holidays are often made up of the smallest moments: morning coffee outside, reading in the sunshine, planning the day over breakfast, coming back from the beach tired and happy, then watching the children make new friends in the park. Summer at South Lytchett Manor is made for these kinds of memories.

Bring the dog along too

For many families, summer holidays wouldn’t be complete without the dog. South Lytchett Manor is a brilliant base for dog-friendly breaks, with plenty of walks nearby and a warm welcome for four-legged guests. After days spent exploring the coast and countryside together, you can all settle back into holiday life on the park or head to the exercise field and agility area for some more tail-wagging fun.
