Things to Consider Before You Buy

Plan for the Long Term

While holiday homes are more affordable than traditional properties, they are still a significant investment. It’s important to factor in ongoing costs such as site fees, utilities, and insurance when budgeting.

Seasonal Use Only

Holiday homes are designed for leisure, not full-time living. Our parks close for a short period each year, so they are not suitable as permanent residences.

Letting and Sharing

To maintain the peaceful atmosphere, sub-letting is not permitted. However, you’re welcome to invite friends and family to enjoy your holiday home whenever you like.

Rural Connectivity

Some locations may have slower internet or weaker mobile signals, a small trade-off for the beauty and calm of countryside living.
