What to Consider When Buying a Coastal Holiday Lodge

• Family Focus – Do you want amusements and entertainment or quiet coves and nature trails?
• Seasonality – Will you visit year-round or just in summer? Look for all-season parks.
• Accessibility – Consider how far you’re willing to travel and whether there’s good access via road or rail.
• On-site Amenities – Pools, spas, restaurants and kids’ clubs can add real value.
• Holiday Let Potential – Many coastal lodges can earn income when not in use. We recommend you always check park rules first.
