Lodges

Lodges & Lodge Parks

Not a caravan person? Lodge parks are a different animal — bigger rooms, vaulted ceilings, proper log burners and often a longer season than a static caravan park.

Lodge ownership costs more to get into, but for many buyers it’s the sweet spot between a caravan and a cottage.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a holiday lodge?+

A larger, more cottage-like holiday home on a park — usually with bigger rooms, a proper kitchen/dining layout and often a log burner. Prices typically start well above static caravans.

Are lodge parks open all year?+

Many lodge parks run longer seasons, and a growing number offer 12-month holiday licences. Always confirm the season in writing.

Can I live in a holiday lodge?+

Only on a residential park. On holiday parks, even 12-month sites keep you on holiday-use terms.
