10 Places to Buy a Holiday Lodge in the UK

Buying a holiday lodge isn’t as simple as solely selecting the lodge of choice; a lot of careful thought also needs to go into its location and why. The UK is abundant in diverse landscapes, attractions, activities – and at Victory Leisure Homes, our lodges are built for comfort, style and long-term enjoyment — perfectly complementing where you choose your plot. 

With that in mind, here are ten locations in the UK that are especially compelling, along with what makes each county stand out and how a Victory lodge elevates the experience.

1. The Lake District, Cumbria

This stunning area of the UK is known for its sprawling glacial lakes, mountainous terrain and quaint villages – and England’s largest National Park has many joys in store when you buy a holiday lodge in the Lake District. Here’s some of what you can expect:

• World-Class Scenery: Craggy peaks, deep lakes and quirky villages (Grasmere, Keswick, Ambleside) make every day walks feel that bit more special. Whether you’re tackling Helvellyn or strolling around Ullswater, every walk can offer a postcard view.
• Outdoor Adventure: From mountain biking and kayaking to lake cruises and YMCA Windermere, there’s always something for adrenaline lovers.
• Culture & Heritage: Whether it’s the Lakeland Motor Museum, The Dock Museum or the cobbled streets of Penrith, there are plenty of activities to keep you occupied and entertained during your stay.

A lodge tucked into a Lake District setting doesn’t just need to look good — it needs to feel at one with the environment. Our range of holiday lodges offer large windows to draw in the scenery, open‐plan living that lets the outdoors feel part of your living space and durable finishes built for the often variable weather. Imagine winding down in the spacious lounge with views across the fells, then stepping outside to enjoy all this area has to offer.

2. Northumberland

Northumberland is charming, peaceful and rarely crowded. The county boasts rugged coastlines, historic landmarks, characterful towns and fresh local seafood. With more castles than anywhere else in the UK, it’s also the birthplace of Earl Grey tea, inspiration for Hogwarts and the site of Britain’s only Roman milestone still in its original spot. A true hidden gem, Northumberland is a staycation destination everyone should experience at least once.

• Vast, Unspoiled Coastline: Miles of sandy beaches, dunes, and cliffs — places like Bamburgh, Caster, Alnmouth offer quiet beaches, small harbour charm and quaint eateries in equal measure.
• Stunning Dark Sky Status: The skies here are special. In certain areas, light pollution is minimal, making perfect for stargazing or simply enjoying expansive night skies.
• Castles, History & Culture: Ancient castles, Roman remains (Hadrian’s Wall), abbeys, and coastal heritage. There’s a poetic solitude here and you almost feel like you’re stepping back in time.
• Nature & Wildlife: Seals, seabirds, wildflowers and rugged walks along the coast or through the hills.

In Northumberland, comfort is about combining rugged beauty with warmth. Our range of holiday lodges here are well-insulated, with features that make chilly coastal winds feel like part of the atmosphere rather than an intrusion. Spacious decking also helps you soak in sunrise/sunset views and interiors are designed for cosy evenings by the wood burner or snug sofa.

3. Cornwall

Cornwall offers the best of coastal life; golden surfing beaches, lush gardens, dramatic cliff walks and locations including Land’s End and the Eden Project. Embrace Cornish culture with local ice cream, Yarg cheese, wine from nearby vineyards and the classic Cornish pasty. For many, Cornwall is the perfect place to buy a holiday lodge, and here are some of the reasons why:

• Dramatic Coast and Beaches: Cliffs, coves, surfing beaches (like Fistral, Polzeath or the ancient St Micael’s Mount), hidden bays — perfect for both activity and tranquillity.
• Quaint Harbours & Fishing Villages: Think St Ives, Fowey or Padstow; the latter made famous by chef Rick Stein. Or, take in the colourful houses, fresh seafood and art galleries for those who like to take in a little bit of history on their holiday.
• Mild Climate: Compared to much of the UK, Cornwall benefits from temperate weather, making more of the year usable for seaside lodging.
• Strong Local Culture: Cornish pasties, cream teas, pottery, folk culture, maritime heritage – all of this and more is waiting to be discovered in Cornwall. See our blog on buying a holiday home in Cornwall for more inspiration.

Our range of holiday lodges are as diverse as the bustling towns and coastal retreats you come to expect from Cornwall. Our lodges feature spacious layouts, premium finishes, soft furnishings, and open patios or balconies to enjoy sea breezes. They also feature large windows to allow as much natural light as possible to enter, and their interiors often include décor that complements the setting: airy colours with natural wood tones to make your holiday lodge feel as spacious as possible.

4. Norfolk

Norfolk is a true hidden treasure, offering sprawling sandy beaches, breathtaking sunsets and a rich mix of culture and heritage. Whether you’re after family-friendly days out or a quiet escape for two, there’s something for everyone here. With its farming roots and coastal location, Norfolk serves up some of the UK’s freshest, tastiest food, complemented by excellent restaurants across the county — making it a destination that delights in every way. Here’s what you can expect from Norfolk:

• Unique Waterways: Miles of rivers, creeks and broads to explore by boat, canoe or paddle-board. It’s peaceful, slow-paced and water is abundant, making it ideal for those who want something a little different from their holiday.
• Rich Wildlife: Swans, herons, marshland, rare birds — excellent for birdwatching and nature lovers.
• Charming Locations: Whether it’s historic Norwich, Great Yarmouth’s long beach or the stunning Oxburgh Hall, there are so many locations to enjoy when you buy a holiday lodge or holiday home in Norfolk.
• Relaxed Ambience: In many ways, Norfolk is less about the big thrills and is more about unwinding, walking, boating, reading — essentially, letting time stretch and finding that perfect place to unwind. 

In the Norfolk Broads, our holiday lodges shine as they emphasise indoor-outdoor flow, with decking looking onto water and large windows, so you can sit inside yet still feel part of the environment. Imagine a day on a boat cruise, scenic bike ride or a day spent birdwatching before retreating back to your holiday lodge in the unofficially known ‘sunset capital of the UK’. Sounds like bliss, doesn’t it?

5. Scotland

Scotland is world-famous for its dramatic landscapes, from the soaring Highlands to almost 800 islands and the legendary Loch Ness. It’s also home to iconic food and drink — whisky, gin and traditional dishes like haggis. When you buy a holiday lodge in Scotland, you can explore the ‘home of golf’ or wander Edinburgh, a city with an abundance of listed buildings. With wild islands, majestic mountains and endless beaches, Scotland offers adventure, culture and beauty, making it a perfect place to own a holiday home or lodge.

• Epic Landscapes: With an abundance of lochs, glens and mountains, such as Glen Coe, the Isle of Skye or Torridon, the diversity and scale of Scotland is vast, making it an ideal location to buy a holiday lodge.
• Wildlife & Solitude: You can expect to find red deer, eagles and seal colonies in Scotland, and with vast open skies along its rugged coastline, you’ll find plenty of places to enjoy the wildlife in solitude.
• Outdoor Pursuits: Whether it’s hiking, climbing, fishing, kayaking or wildlife photography, you’ll be sure to find something in the Orkney Islands, Melrose Abbey or the Highlands.

Our lodges feature open-plan living, floor-to-ceiling windows and cosy interiors that blend seamlessly alongside the natural environments around you.
