The Best Holiday Parks for Holiday Home Ownership in the UK: Lodges, Caravans and Family-Friendly Parks

Imagine having a key to your own private escape, a place you can retreat to whenever you need to breathe a little deeper and reconnect with nature. That’s the feeling of holiday home ownership. It’s the freedom of spontaneous weekends away, of watching the seasons change from your window, and of building a lifetime of memories with the people you love. Here at Lovat Parks, we believe in creating those special places. As the UK's first B Corp certified holiday park operator, we’re dedicated to helping you find your perfect home from home in a way that’s good for you and for the planet.

Why We Believe in Holiday Home Ownership

For us, the real joy of ownership is seeing the happiness it brings to our community. It’s more than just a holiday home; it's a 'home away from home' that's always there for you, ready for your next adventure. It’s the ease of packing a small bag on a Friday afternoon and heading straight to your happy place, knowing a warm welcome and total relaxation await.

We’re passionate about making this dream a straightforward and secure reality. As proud members of the British Holiday & Home Parks Association, we hold ourselves to the highest standards. Our B Corp certification since 2020 means we're committed to being a force for good, nurturing our beautiful park environments and the communities within them.

To make your journey to ownership as reassuring as possible, we’ve put a few things in place for complete peace of mind. When you purchase a holiday home with us, there is no stamp duty or council tax to pay. Every new home comes with a 12-month warranty, and we also provide a 30-day money-back guarantee after you get the keys. The whole process is designed to be supportive and transparent, and you can learn more about our simple steps to ownership at any time.

Our Favourite Parks for Ownership: A Regional Guide

We believe the location of your holiday home is just as important as the home itself. Our eight parks are nestled in some of the UK's most cherished landscapes, from the wild coast of Cornwall to the ancient woodlands of the New Forest. Each has its own unique character, and we love sharing what makes them special.

Cornwall: Coastal Escapes & Family Fun

Cornwall’s magical blend of rugged cliffs, golden sands, and charming fishing villages makes it an enduring favourite. It’s a place for breathing in the sea air on coastal walks and enjoying fresh local food. We are fortunate to have four wonderful parks in this stunning county.

• Penmarlam Lodge Retreat: Overlooking the breathtaking Fowey Estuary, Penmarlam offers an exceptional licence term of up to 100 years. It’s just half a mile from the Old Ferry Inn for a riverside pint, and we also have residential park home options available here.
• Padstow Holiday Village: Located only two miles from Padstow’s famous foodie harbour, this park is an explorer’s delight. Ownership comes with a 50-year licence, giving you decades of Cornish holidays to look forward to.
• Sun Haven Holiday Park: For those who want the freedom to escape all year, Sun Haven offers owners year-round access. It's a peaceful retreat with 50-year licences, perfect for enjoying Cornwall's quieter seasons.
• Cornish Meadows Holiday Park: Set within 16 acres of beautiful wooded glades, this park is a nature lover's paradise. It's one of our fantastic family holiday parks and even has its own swimming pool for those sunny Cornish afternoons.

If you want to get a feel for the lifestyle first, you could always book one of our luxury UK static caravan holidays to experience the park for yourself.

The New Forest: Nature on Your Doorstep

There’s a unique magic to the New Forest, with its ancient woodlands, open heathlands, and free-roaming ponies. It offers a complete escape into nature.

• Green Hill Farm Holiday Village: Our New Forest park is a gateway to incredible outdoor adventures. It offers direct access to Canada Common, where you can walk for miles through stunning scenery. It’s a perfect spot for walkers and their four-legged friends, and like all our parks, we proudly offer dog-friendly UK parks with top lodge ownership offers. A generous 50-year licence means you can enjoy this woodland haven for years to come.

Norfolk & Suffolk: Unspoilt Coastlines & Tranquil Retreats

The East Anglian coast, with its vast skies, beautiful nature reserves, and peaceful atmosphere, provides a wonderfully tranquil setting for a holiday home.

• Azure Seas Holiday Village: With a 12-month season, you can enjoy this Suffolk coastal park all year round. It’s an idyllic retreat offering a 50-year licence and residential park homes for those seeking a more permanent escape.
• Golden Beach Holiday Park: This Norfolk park is an owner-only community, which gives it a wonderfully peaceful and exclusive feel. It operates on a 10.5-month season, making it a perfect base for exploring the coast.
• Waxham Sands Holiday Park: A classic seaside retreat in Norfolk, Waxham Sands has an 8-month season. With a 20-year licence for caravans and 50 years for lodges, it offers an accessible way to begin your ownership journey.

Lodges vs. Caravans: Finding Your Perfect Fit

One of the first decisions you’ll make is choosing between a holiday lodge and a static caravan. The main difference comes down to size, which creates a distinct feel for each.

Holiday lodges offer exceptionally spacious living, with a minimum size of 800 square feet. This allows for large, open-plan layouts, bigger bedrooms, and often extra features like utility rooms or en-suite bathrooms. They truly feel like a second home.

Our modern holiday homes, often called static caravans, provide a cosy and comfortable retreat, typically ranging from 432 to 533 square feet. They feature clever, space-maximising designs and are equipped with all the home comforts you need for a relaxing break.

Whichever you lean towards, you can rest assured that all our luxury UK lodges, caravans & holiday homes for sale are sourced from leading UK manufacturers and arrive fully furnished, ready for you to move in and relax.

The Simple & Friendly Steps to Ownership

We believe buying a holiday home should be one of life’s most exciting experiences. That’s why we’ve designed our process to be simple, friendly, and completely without pressure.

1. Explore Our Parks: The journey begins with finding a location that speaks to you.
2. Arrange a Visit: Come and see the park for yourself. We’ll give you a relaxed tour so you can get a feel for the atmosphere and meet our friendly team.
3. A Warm Welcome: Before any commitment is made, we require a dedicated welcome meeting. This is our chance to sit down with you, answer every single question, and make sure you have all the information you need.
4. Find Your Home & Finance: We’ll help you find the perfect home for your needs and budget. To make ownership more accessible, we partner exclusively with Santander Consumer Finance to offer tailored holiday home finance options. Please note that mortgages are not available for holiday homes.

To be fully transparent, our holiday home prices start from £73,000, with site fees from £3,650 (including VAT) and typical annual running costs for utilities starting from £1,000.
