Our year in Morriscastle

Having closed the door at the end of October, work is ongoing off season onsite. We’ve levelled off all playgrounds and changed the outside surrounds from wood to wire for next year. Looking forward to seeing them being used well again next summer!

We’ve also taken the top toilet block apart and will be re-tiling and sorting the showers out so that they are as lovely and powerful as the bottom block for next season.

We have also begun work on the outside of our reception building which is very exciting…and the beginning of our 2 year plan for the area. You can see the ongoing progress on our facebook page as it happens so keep an eye. At the moment ( dec 7 ) the windows are cut out awaiting arrival of new ones next week and the old leaking and cobwebbed porch is finally down! Our roof has been completely fixed so bring on the winter rain and snow! Its so exciting to see the development happening and I personally cant wait to get it up and running for the new season 2012.

This, along with our little herb garden that will be constructed by June next year and another few surprises means that 2012 is already shaping up to be a very exciting summer. We’ll be opening from March until the end of September. We will also have the site open for the Halloween Mid Term break in October by pre-booking only, if it doesnt snow by then, I imagine the beach will be a fab place to be for a spooky Halloween party!!

Bookings

Bookings in general for the holiday park will be taken from the beginning of February so if anyone has any queries please email me on info@morriscastlestrand.com and we will be in touch as soon as possible. Booking forms will be sent out automatically to our regular customers at the end of Jan so if anyone would like to be included in this, please email me or send me a personal message on Facebook.
Next year, we’ll be keeping our brilliant value 7 nights for 6 offer and get ready for our extremely exciting special Off Peak Offers which we will announce in January. This is going to make it even better value to stay in Morriscastle in March, April, May and September, ( not including Bank holiday weekends sorry! )

Our new rental home at the bottom of the lane ( right opposite the access to the beach! )will be completely ready by March for renting which will be just amazing, right by the sea and kitted out beautifully. The fact that the sea is visible from the kitchen/sitting room is a bonus that not many people can brag about! As we work on the interiors, I’ll be posting photos, so again, keep checking our website www.morriscastlestrand.com and our facebook page.

Things are moving along and Christmas is nearly here. This year due to Moms passing, we wont be sending out any Christmas cards but we sincerely wish you all a happy time this December over the holidays and into the new year. Thank you to everyone who supported us throughout the year and especially the last 3 months and to all who came to Moms wake and funeral mass. We hugely appreciate all your kind words, cards, emails, messages and hugs.
