Choosing The Perfect Holiday Home Location

Owning a holiday home is a dream for many, providing a personal retreat where you can relax and recharge. Choosing the right location is key to ensuring that your holiday home experience is everything you imagine. Whether you’re seeking tranquillity in the countryside, breathtaking sea views, or a spot close to vibrant attractions, this guide will help you find the perfect setting for your ideal getaway.

City vs countryside vs coastal Locations

Easy access to cities

While we doesn’t offer holiday park locations in cities, many of our parks are perfectly positioned to offer you the best of both worlds. We take pride in our coastal and countryside locations, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, yet with the convenience of being close to some beautiful British cities. Explore the historic city of Salisbury, home to the world’s tallest spire, or the charming city of Norwich, known for its rich heritage and beauty. This balance allows you to enjoy city life, with its theatres, dining, and entertainment, while retreating to somewhere much quieter for a good nights’ sleep.

Countryside

Our parks are holiday parks by nature! At Lovat Parks, we specialise in the countryside experience. A holiday home in our parks offers peace, space, and a closer connection to nature. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking, cycling, and wildlife watching, our rural locations in Norfolk, Cornwall, Suffolk and the New Forest each provide a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Discover beautifully situated holiday homes where you can unwind, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the great outdoors.

Coastal

For many, a holiday home by the sea is the ultimate dream. Waking up to the sound of waves and enjoying stunning sea views creates a unique sense of relaxation. Coastal locations are perfect for beach lovers, water sports enthusiasts, and those who enjoy long walks along the shoreline. Our holiday park in Suffolk offers the best sea views. In Norfolk, you can even spot seals from the iconic sands of Horsey Gap. Our Cornish parks provide easy access to the beach, but special mention goes to Sun Haven near Newquay, just a short walk from the golden, Blue Flag beach of Mawgan Porth.

Attractions and sightseeing

As you explore holiday park locations for your new holiday home, think about how well our park and the surrounding area match your ideal lifestyle. Your chosen location should offer a variety of things to see and do. From historical landmarks and local markets to nature reserves and cultural experiences, having diverse attractions nearby will enrich your holiday. Whether you prefer peaceful nature spots or vibrant towns with plenty of entertainment, make sure the location aligns with your preferences.

Idyllic views

One of the biggest advantages of owning a holiday home is the opportunity to wake up to stunning scenery. Whether it’s rolling fields, a serene forest setting, or on the cusp of the sand dunes, choosing a location with breathtaking surroundings will make your retreat feel even more special.

Noise and light pollution

The level of peace and quiet is a key consideration when choosing a location. During peak season, our park wardens help maintain a calm and peaceful atmosphere throughout. Our coastal and countryside locations are free from excessive noise, providing a restful, undisturbed stay. For those who enjoy stargazing, selecting a location with minimal light pollution will enhance the experience.

Accessibility and travel networks

Our parks are set in peaceful rural locations, yet are conveniently close to major roads. While Cornwall may be a bit further to travel, it’s well worth the journey, and with Newquay Airport nearby, it’s easy for friends and family to visit you.

Purchasing and ongoing considerations

When selecting a holiday home, it’s important to consider every aspect of the experience, from the initial purchase to ongoing maintenance. Be sure to account for costs like maintenance fees, site fees, and utility bills such as gas and electricity. Our Love To Let service is something you may wish to offset your site fee costs.

Local community

The sense of community at a location can greatly enhance your experience. As a B Corp certified group, we are dedicated to sustainability and ethical practices, ensuring that our parks are not only great places to stay but also responsible in how they impact the environment. You may find that your values align with those of your future neighbours, who share a passion for protecting the planet. We also host owner events at many of our parks, giving you the chance to connect with your new community. It’s our way of making every visit feel like coming home.

Choosing the perfect holiday home location is all about finding a place that suits your lifestyle, preferences, and needs. Whether you dream of a coastal escape or a countryside retreat, the right setting will make every stay memorable in your very own holiday home.
