A UK holiday park operator has entered administration.
The company behind Medmerry Holiday Park in West Sussex – Cove Communities Venture 2 Medmerry OpCo Limited – has been appointed administrators.
Medmerry Holiday Park, known for its nature-focused 100-acre holiday village, was forced to close back in 2024 following flooding and now will not reopen.
The park sits by the Medmerry Nature Reserve and Bracklesham Bay Beach and was home to 308 self-catering chalets, a large outdoor swimming pool and central pub and restaurant.
The park was loved by visitors, with one guest stating: “Having just returned from a four day break and was blown away with this park, the friendly and well informed staff and quality and price of the food in the restaurant was second to none.”
According to The Herald, the company is also connected to parent company Cove Communities Holiday Park UK Holdco Limited.

A number of this company’s subsidiaries have been forced into administration this year as well.
These include the eight-park Argyll Holidays portfolio in Scotland, including holiday parks Drimsynie Estate and Hunters Quay Holiday Village.
In Cornwall, Gwel an Mor Resort also entered administration, as did Solway Holiday Park in the Lake District.
However, most of these continued to operate.
There are still some Cove sites that are not impacted including the group’s largest flagship holiday park – Seal Bay Resort in West Sussex.
Administrators are now attempting to sell the group’s sites in Scotland, Cornwall and Northern England.
