Cove UK Enters Administration, Impacts 11 Parks

Cove UK, one of Britain's largest caravan holiday park operators, has entered administration, impacting 11 resorts across England, Scotland, and Wales. The collapse, announced this week, affects sites including eight parks previously run by Argyll Holidays, which Cove acquired for 100 million pounds in 2022. Administrators took control on November 17, with the parks currently closed for the winter season.

The affected resorts span multiple regions: Solway Holiday Park in Cumbria, Gwel an Mor Resort in Cornwall, Springwood Holiday Park in Lancashire, Drimsynie Holiday Village in Argyll and Bute, Hunters Quay Holiday Village in Dunoon, Loch Awe Holiday Park, Loch Eck Caravan Park and Loch Eck Country Lodges near Dunoon, Loch Lomond Holiday Park in Arrochar, St Catherines Caravan Park in Cairndow, and Stratheck Holiday Park in Argyll and Bute. These sites collectively offer around 3,400 pitches and employ up to 250 staff during peak summer months. Seal Bay Resort in West Sussex, Cove's largest property and its first UK acquisition renamed from Bunn Leisure in 2019, remains unaffected and continues normal operations.
