A UK THEME park has revealed plans to build a new holiday village, marking the first accommodation at the much-loved attraction.
Paultons Park near Romsey is looking to build over 120 holiday homes for just under 600 guests.
Each holiday home will be either two, three or four bedrooms and they will all be self-catering.
Inside, the holiday homes will feature a Scandinavian design, with a more rustic and traditional style.
And there will be accessible units as well.
The plans for the site also include a welcome building and reception known as “a gateway building”, which will provide space for resort guests to be dropped off.

There will be a 400sqm restaurant too and a 65sqm shop selling food and essentials.
The existing car park will be changed, with better access for guests to the welcome building and reception.
An entertainment room is planned as well and so is a games room for indoor games and activities.
Originally, the theme park wanted to create accommodation for 700 guests – however, after feedback they revised the proposal.
According to the Hampshire Chronicle, James Mancey, deputy managing director at Paultons Park, said: “We are still in the very early stages of our accommodation project.
“The report outlines the results of specialist surveys, such as ecology and heritage, as well as revised unit numbers for the scheme following detailed financial and viability modelling.
“Our vision is to deliver 122 units, designed to comfortably accommodate just under 600 guests at full capacity, 100 guests fewer than previously outlined.”
He added that it will be several years before the onsite accommodation will be built, but that Paultons is committed to making it happen.
Paultons Park recently scooped up the award for the Theme Park of the Year at the UK Theme Park Awards 2025.
And ahead of possible accommodation, the attraction will open a new Viking-themed ‘Valgard’ area next year, on May 16.
The new land will feature a number of rides including a rollercoaster called Drakon which will invert, a themed restaurant and a playground.
There will also be a ride called ‘Vild Swing’, which will measure 12 metres high and by the first of its kind in the UK.
And back in May, the park opened Ghostly Manor – an interactive, family-friendly ride where guests have to capture ghosts that have “escaped the house of renowned ghost hunter Dr Kinley”.
