FAQ’s
What’s the difference between a modern lodge built in a factory and a traditional log cabin?
Modern lodges are built in controlled factory environments, ensuring consistent quality, excellent energy efficiency, and a high standard of modern finishes. They often feature contemporary designs, advanced insulation, and a low-maintenance structure.
Traditional log cabins, on the other hand, are crafted from solid logs and offer a timeless, rustic aesthetic. While they have a unique charm, they do require more upkeep than modern lodges. Additionally, transporting traditional log cabins can be more challenging due to their weight and construction, which can add complexity and cost to the process.
What am I buying when I purchase a lodge or cabin?
When you buy a lodge or cabin, you are typically purchasing the property itself rather than the land it’s on. Most lodges are sold with a license for their position or on a lease agreement for the land. This allows you to occupy the lodge in that specific spot for an agreed period. However, in some cases, freehold lodges may be available, giving you ownership of both the lodge and the land. It’s a good idea to check the terms with the park to understand exactly what’s included.
Do I own the land my lodge is sited on?
Generally, no. With most holiday parks in the UK, you are renting the land your lodge is placed on under a lease or license agreement. This allows you to enjoy the site and its facilities as part of an ongoing arrangement. A handful of parks may offer freehold options, but this is less common.
What security do I have as a buyer?
When you purchase a lodge, you’re protected under various laws, including the Sale of Goods Act and Consumer Rights. These ensure that your purchase meets legal standards for quality and description. If you lease the land, your agreement will outline your rights and responsibilities, offering an added layer of security. Always review contracts carefully and speak to the park about any questions or concerns.

What should I consider when choosing a park for my lodge or cabin?
When selecting a park, think about its location, facilities, and the community feel. Consider how close it is to local amenities, attractions, and if it aligns with your lifestyle needs. Visiting the park in person can give you a good sense of what to expect, so you can make a confident decision.
How much does it cost to buy a lodge or cabin?
The cost of a lodge or cabin can vary widely depending on its size, design, location, and whether it’s new or pre-owned. On top of the purchase price, you’ll also need to budget for annual site fees, maintenance, and utility costs. Be sure to ask the park for a full breakdown of expenses upfront.
What are the ongoing maintenance responsibilities?
Maintaining your lodge or cabin ensures it stays in great condition and holds its value. Common tasks include checking the roof, cleaning gutters, maintaining any decking, and addressing any wear and tear. Some parks offer maintenance services, so it’s worth asking what support is available.
Can I get a loan or financing to buy a lodge or cabin?
Yes, financing options are often available to help you purchase a lodge or cabin. Many specialist lenders provide loans tailored for holiday homes. Check with the park or a financial advisor to explore financing options and understand the terms before committing.
Are there any legal considerations I should be aware of?
When buying a lodge or cabin, it’s important to understand if you’re purchasing the property outright or leasing the land. Most lodges are sold with a license or lease that outlines the terms of your stay, including site fees and rules. Always review the contract carefully and seek legal advice if needed.
What are the lifestyle benefits of lodge or cabin ownership?
Owning a lodge or cabin offers a relaxed escape from daily life, perfect for unwinding or spending quality time with family and friends. It also gives you the flexibility to enjoy holidays whenever you like and experience beautiful locations across the UK. Some parks even have thriving communities where you can make new connections.
