Buying a holiday home is a big decision and one that should have a lot of thought behind it, so we are here to help you.

Of course, you will be wanting to weigh up all the options and figure out how much you will use your holiday home and whether it will be beneficial to your family. And since we offer holiday home ownership at 10 of our resorts in the UK it’s safe to say we know all the benefits and reasons why buying a holiday home is a great idea. So, continue reading below to see our 10 reasons why you should buy a holiday home and hopefully we will help you come to a decision.

1. endless holidays

If you buy a holiday home, then it means you can have as many holidays as you want throughout the year. You won’t need to organise with anyone, so long as the resort or park is open you can just turn up! So, enjoy as many weekend trips, weeklong escapes, and summer long getaways as you can fit in each year with no worries.

2. create a home away from home

Since you own your holiday home you can do anything you like to it to create the perfect home away from home. Usually when you buy a holiday home it comes fully furnished but there are so many ways you can make the lodge or caravan feel like home. Add family photos, cushions, throws and anything else to remind you of your home to ensure whenever you enjoy a holiday you feel right at home.

3. no planning needed

Due to the fact you own the holiday home it means there is no planning necessary when it comes to deciding when you want a holiday. Simply find a week, weekend, or period where you are all free and make your way to your holiday home and relax. Since there is no planning needed you will spend a lot less time stressing and a lot more time relaxing and enjoying yourself.

4. quality time with loved ones

By having a holiday home, you can have endless holidays which means enjoying plenty of quality time with loved ones. Whether you are just wanting to spend more time with your children or want to take your parents or in-laws away for a nice holiday you will be able to make amazing memories and spend some quality time together.

5. more cost effective in the long run

Although there is a huge cost when it comes to buying a holiday home it is more cost effective in the long run. Depending how you’ve done it you will either be paying a monthly amount or paid outright for your holiday home. And then the site fees and utility bills are also paid separate either monthly or paid as a one-off cost. This means in the long run you will get plenty amazing holiday experiences each year for a fraction of the price of going abroad once in summer.

6. perfect for enjoying a new area

There are so many places around the UK that have holiday parks or resorts that offer holiday home ownership. One of the many amazing things about buying a holiday home is that you can take advantage of having a new area to explore. For example, if you’ve always loved to go to Cornwall or have been there before and loved it then having a holiday home there will be perfect. With the endless holidays you can explore all areas around your holiday home and really get to know the area.

7. never leave your pet behind

Your holiday home, your rules. Which means if you have a pet you don’t have to leave them behind to enjoy a holiday. Most holiday resorts and parks are pet-friendly (all our Darwin Escapes resorts are!) so that means your pet is always welcome on holiday. After all pets are part of the family and there’s nothing better than seeing your four-legged friend having fun in a new area with you.

8. join a friendly community of owners

When you purchase a holiday home you become part of the community. This means you will be welcomed into the resort with open arms from the rest of the owners, your neighbours, and the staff who you will see every time you visit. It’s a great way to make friends for life for yourselves and your children too. Some resorts hold owner events throughout the year where you can all come together, have fun, and make memories.

9. share with close family and friends

Owning a holiday home comes with many benefits like the ones we’ve listed above but another amazing one is that you get to share it with your close family and friends. When you buy a holiday home at one of our Darwin Escapes resorts you get several passes that you can give out to family and friends which gives them access onto the resort and facilities. So, when you aren’t using your holiday home you can let someone else make use of it instead!

10. so many locations to choose from
