LOOKING FOR A HOLIDAY HOME?

Why buy a luxury lodge?

There’s something intrinsically romantic about lodges. Contemporary models are like palaces, with designer interiors and integrated appliances. Features you would normally associate with luxury new builds. We’ve come a long way from the tin cans of yesteryear. Buying a lodge on a lodge park for the first time, could ultimately be the best holiday decision you could make. The modern holiday home gives you the potential to own a comfortable second home. In addition, it will be in a location where you may not be able to afford a brick-and-mortar alternative.

For that reason, is there somewhere you would want to visit year after year? Wouldn’t you like to have your own base there? Maybe you would like the opportunity to spend regular periods of time close to family or friends who live elsewhere? Whatever your reasons, a luxury lodge gives you a reliable holiday spot that you can return to year on year, for instance, without all the rigmarole of making arrangements for where you’ll stay every time.

As a matter of fact, that isn’t the only benefit of buying a holiday home. Take a look at some of these benefits below:

Buying a lodge offers great affordability

Luxury holiday homes remain one of the best options for the affordable, holiday-on-demand experience. They’re a low-time good investment holiday that you can head to on planned trips or spur-of-the-moment holiday getaways. There are lodges available at all price points in lodge parks, even for the family on a budget.

Luxury accommodation

Cruises and villa holidays are great examples of what we look for in holiday accommodation, featuring a home away from home. By comparison, lodges can capture some of that same feel, providing you with the feel, sights, and sounds of a holiday whilst maintaining your own creature comforts. And if you have the money to spare, there’s really no limit on how luxurious you can get with a lodge.

Holiday homes in sought-after locations

Half of the appeal of a luxury lodge lies in its location. Most lodges are in prime areas of natural beauty, or at least somewhere with a close connection to the richness of nature. By and large, holiday parks range from woodlands to riversides to shorelines, all offering their unique appeal.

On-site amenities

The first thing to remember is going away from home doesn’t mean having to sacrifice all the usual creature comforts. Most lodge parks offer on-site amenities, from the basics like showers, toilets, and baby changing areas, to bars and swimming pools.

Buying a lodge – By the sea or in the countryside?

For those hankering after a holiday home by the sea or in the countryside, in essence, a lodge is a great buy. The countryside offers so many benefits for us, fresh air, nature and lots of walks to enjoy. With rolling hills and access to wildlife, unquestionably, you will create lots of great memories.

If you prefer to hear the mesmerising sounds of the ocean, of course, a seaside retreat could be an option. What could be better than having access to the seaside? On the whole, families, especially with younger children, will benefit from buying a lodge by the coast. The majority of seaside resorts will have many activities ranging from arcades on the pier to watersports in the sea! All in all, a seaside property will never be boring and will prove to be an excellent investment!

At Sell My Group, you can view the UK’s widest range of lodges for sale, with models for all budgets in hundreds of locations up and down the country – from Scotland to Cornwall and everywhere in between.

Are you buying a holiday home for a fun-packed family getaway or a relaxing retreat? In reality, you will find today’s state-of-the-art holiday lodges offer space in a contemporary, relaxing environment. In addition, luxury lodges are built to high specifications and include large, open-plan living areas. Worried about storage? In that case, you will enjoy the generous storage available and family-sized bathroom, not to mention, the added extras of a breakfast bar or bi-folding doors.

After all that information, let us now look at the benefits of investing in a lodge:

Extended holiday season

If you don’t want your luxury holiday limited to the on-season months, holiday lodges make a good investment. Your lodge is a home you can access all year round, and even many lodge parks won’t close for the winter months. As a result, you can enjoy your ‘home from home’ holidays all year round. Bearing this in mind, however, it is always wise to check with your park to confirm their season timetable.

Large bedrooms

Are you done with sacrificing comfort for a good holiday? With holiday lodges, there is no need to compromise and you can have the same level of comfort thanks to sizable bedrooms, whilst you’re on your luxury holiday. As a result, you will never again have to squeeze into small rooms and clamber over suitcases!

Family-sized bathroom

By and large, the sanctuary of the bathroom is real for anyone. Whether that is sharing a home with a spouse, children, and/or an extended family. In a holiday lodge, you have access to a family-sized bathroom (or bathrooms). All in all, this may not seem the most exciting selling point, however, for many families, it is a lifesaver!

Great storage

If you’ve suffered one too many holidays in a cramped hotel room, then it could be time to upgrade and buy a lodge. We all need good storage options, especially if we have lots of family visits or own lots of things! Equally important is that you can leave a certain amount of items in your lodge, saving on heavy carloads for each visit.

Huge open-plan living areas

Bright and airy living spaces always convey a sense of joy and luxury. Holiday lodges often feature open-plan living areas. This holiday living gives your family space to spread out and relax whilst also spending time together rather than disappearing into separate rooms. For the most part, you can enjoy talking, playing board games, or just spending quality time as a family.

To conclude

A holiday lodge is a house by any other name — and that comes with all the upsides. You can have all the same quality fixtures, fittings, plumbing, and utilities as you would expect at home with a luxury lodge. Some lodges benefit from balconies, decking, extended verandas, hot tubs, and boat moorings. We have highlighted some of the wonderful benefits of buying a lodge in the UK.
