Arrival and Departure Guide
We want your arrival and departure day to be as easy as possible, so here's our guide on checking in and out of our resort! Remember to log into your booking before you arrive so that you can pre-register on behalf of each member of your party.
Checking In: Croeso i Bluestone
Your break is finally here! Free Range Fun and magical memories await. On your arrival day you can arrive at Bluestone from 11:00am and enjoy all our facilities.

For Merlin’s Crest Arrivals, you will be directed to our private car park exclusively for guests staying in Merlin’s Crest. Please note, our Merlin's Crest car park uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology, so it’s important that the car you arrive in has the same registration as the one entered in your pre-registration details. Within the car park is our Merlin's Crest Welcome Lodge. Here, our Guest Services team will be on hand to welcome you to our resort. They will also present you with your accommodation key card and access to your Digital Welcome Pack (with lots of exciting information about your break!). Watch our handy Merlin's Crest, arrivals video here.
For All Other Arrivals, you’ll be directed to our Arrivals Lodge, where our Arrivals Team will present your key card and provide you with access to our Digital Welcome Pack (with lots of exciting information about your break!).
