The Orchards Holiday Village, St Osyth, Essex

A complete contrast to the buzz of nearby Clacton, the Orchards setting, near the pretty Essex village of St. Osyth and by the water’s edge, is a haven of tranquillity. There’s plenty of the usual Haven facilities here including a terrific outdoor pool and sun terrace by the Mash and Barrel Lounge-Bar-Café. Plus, there’s also the option to enjoy fishing on one of the two fabulous fresh water lakes or a round or two of golf on the Park’s very own course.

Feel free to fill each day in just your own way. Every family is different of course, but a typical day might begin with a lazy lie in or a family Wake 'n' Shake session. It could be a morning in the heated indoor or outdoor pool complexes or a round on the 9-hole golf course.

Lunch out at a great little pub or pop into our Mash and Barrel: Lounge-Bar-Café. Afternoon try the Archery or Fencing Coaching, explore Clacton-on-Sea or a spot of fishing on the Coarse Fishing Lake. Early evening enjoy a stroll on the beach, a game of Bowling or a barbecue. Then head off to the ShowBar for a drink, live music and dancing. So, whether it's out and about or staying on the Park, you're sure to have a great holiday at The Orchards.
