benefits of owning your own holiday home for staycations

1. doesn’t take much planning or organising

If you have got your own holiday home it means you don’t need to spend too much time planning and organising when you want to go as you aren’t dependent on availability. All you need to do is decide a day between yourselves and then head over to enjoy your staycation in the UK!

2. different activities and facilities to keep all entertained

If you own a holiday home with us we have various different resorts across the UK where your holiday home can be based. At each of our resorts we have different activities and facilities which will be perfect for all the family. From having fun in the swimming pool to relaxing in the sauna, keeping fit in the gym or enjoying a bite to eat at the restaurant.

3. lots of different things to do close by

No matter where your holiday home is based in the UK there will be plenty to do in all the local areas and they will all be a short drive away from where you are located. This means you can really explore all the beautiful and amazing places in the UK and find your favourites for walks, trips to the beach and different activities to keep the kids entertained.

4. can take your time exploring the area

Sometimes when you go on holiday abroad you try to cram everything you can into your days as you probably won’t be going back to that location for a while. But if you have a holiday home you don’t need to squeeze as much as you possibly can into your stay. You can return time and time again and explore new areas every time you do come.

5. clean safe environment

With owning your own holiday home you know that whenever you go to it, it’s a clean and safe environment for you and your family. You control all aspects of your holiday home so that means you can relax and unwind knowing it’s a safe space so you can relax and enjoy the rest of your staycation.

Well a holiday home gives you an escape and offers guilt-free relaxation so you can relax with your favourite movies or pop to the bar and enjoy a drink while watching the footy, all guilt free. And you can really enjoy the time you spend with your children, having fun instead of worrying about what chore you need to do next. There’s no little voice nagging at you when you’re on holiday.

impulsive getaways

When you own your own holiday home, there is no booking, searching for the best deal, frantically packing, and trying to stay under the airline’s weight limit. You can just get up and go! Owners often leave the necessities and luxuries at their holiday homes, meaning your packing can be as minimal as you choose, from taking all your DVDs for a movie marathon to bringing a fancy new dress for a night out in the onsite bar & restaurant.

---

amazing local areas

Darwin Escapes has a variety of destinations offering ownership, from North Wales to Cornwall, all our locations all have beautiful local areas waiting to be discovered. You’ll be able to spend sunny evenings strolling along the beach or heading to your local pub for a few drinks, or you may want to jump in the car for a short drive to the many retail parks, cinemas, and boutiques available around our destinations.

---

enjoying home comforts

Your holiday home is exactly that, yours. Imagine going on holiday and being able to take your own style with you, everything inside your holiday home has been personally chosen by you and it’s exactly how you like it. Home comforts are a must when relaxing and recharging, you’ll feel at home as soon as you open the door.

---

reduced travel time

Owning your own holiday home means getting to go on holiday whenever the mood strikes!. When you go abroad you’ll normally spend a few months looking for the cheapest deal, then you’ll travel an hour or more to the airport, wait around in the airport for up to 3 hours, before sitting in an airplane for anything up to 8 hours. That is a lot of time spent on one or two weeks away! Whereas when you own your own holiday home, you’re generally only a few hours’ drive away from your own personal escape, and it’s waiting for you whenever you’re ready.

---

quality family time

Modern living often means busy lives, finding quality family time can be a struggle. But owning your own holiday home means getting quality time is just a drive away, picking your little ones up on a Friday after school and heading to your personal escape is the quality time everyone needs. You can spend your weekends relaxing in your holiday home, exploring the local area, seeing friends and making the most of the facilities, there will be something for everyone.

---

more holidays

Due to less travel time, not having to pay every time you visit and not having to book, you can have as many holidays as you choose! Some of our destinations are open 12 months of the year, such as Hawkchurch Resort & Spa in South Devon, and some are open for 10 months out of the year, like New Pines Holiday Home Park in North Wales. Our ownership community often spend the 6-week school summer holidays at their home away from home, spending time together and relaxing, while enjoying the facilities and events taking place.

---

reduced cost per holiday

Did you know purchasing and running a holiday home is actually cheaper than a 2 week holiday abroad every year? Over a 10 year period a 2 week break abroad will cost you around £1.75 per hour*, over the same time period the cost of running a holiday home only costs around 50p per hour! That’s a big saving, plus you will get more frequent breaks throughout the year, not just for two weeks! Read our finance guide for more information.

*costs correct as of 2017.

---

no pet left behind

If you have a fur-baby, there no need to leave them behind, you’re holiday home is as pet-friendly as your residential home! The whole family can enjoy a holiday relaxing and exploring the local area on walks, there are so many new places waiting to be discovered (and sniffed!).

---

joining a friendly community

Becoming an owner means more than just finding the perfect escape for you. You’ll be joining a friendly community on the park, with all the little ones making life-long friends, with a range of family fun events to gather the community throughout the year, as well as spending time with friendly adults and enjoying the evening entertainment.

---

stress & guilt-free holidays

When owning your own holiday home you don’t have to feel guilty when wandering to the bar to watch the football game, or spending your day relaxing with a good book. You can truly relax and know that your family is as happy and content as you are, giving you that stress and guilt-free holiday you’ve been craving.

• more about ownership
• our sales resorts

One of the questions that we’re most asked by people who are thinking about holiday home ownership with us is “Can I live in a holiday home all year?”.

Well, the simple answer to this is, no. The holiday home ownership industry can be broken down into two parts; those locations that offer residential park homes and those that offer holiday homes only. We fall into the second category, offering a HUGE range of holiday homes across the UK in our beautiful destinations and having a wide variety of both static caravans and stunning lodges.

Keep reading to find out the differences between park homes and holiday homes. We also tell you about our own holiday home ownership resorts, our open seasons, and site fees (as of April 2022, please note these are subject to change).

what is a holiday home?

A holiday home is defined as being a ‘mobile home’ that is owned in addition to your usual bricks-and-mortar home. The key thing to remember is that you can not live in this property permanently, you must own or be renting a permanent residence along with your holiday home. This is a legal requirement of owning a holiday home in the UK.

There are some pretty serious legal facts to take into account with this. For example, if someone fails to follow these rules, it means that they will be considered to be a breach of the regulations and could be liable to a council tax evasion conviction. This can sometimes result in a jail sentence and/or serious financial penalties, so it’s definitely something to be aware of when choosing your holiday home option.

When you buy a holiday home with us, we will ask if you could please provide proof of your main registered address. This could be a council tax bill or other utility bills for your primary home, you are then required to provide proof every year.

Buying a holiday home is much simpler than buying a brick-and-mortar home, it’s a process you will absolutely love! There are no legal fees, so you don’t have to pay out to consult a lawyer or for them to draw up any paperwork. There’s no stamp duty, so you don’t have to worry about paying any extra for the holiday home than the price you see and you holiday home will come fully furnished, so you don’t have to worry about buying a new fridge/freezer or sofa set.

There are literally no worries, you’ll have everything you need in your holiday home and the process is really simple, with our friendly sales team being able to answer any questions you may have and also offer affordable finance options so you know owning your dream holiday home is closer than you think!

---

how long can I stay in my holiday home?

The total amount of time you can stay in your holiday home throughout the year will vary depending on the license of the holiday resort you choose to own on. This is called our ‘open season’ and it varies between our holiday resorts across the UK.

All our holiday home ownership resorts are open for Christmas, New Year, and the summer holidays, so those daydreams of spreading your toes in the sand and basking in the summer sun are closer than you think! Get some quality family time during all school holidays and find your next adventure with your family and friends in your own UK holiday home.

Below is a guide of our own holiday resorts open seasons:

• Aberconwy Resort & Spa
  • Open 12 months of the year, but this is not a residential resort, you must still have a primary address. Our holiday home license is defined as an owner spending more time at their primary home address than on the resort over the course of a year
• Cheddar Woods Resort & Spa, Hawkchurch Resort & Spa, Piran Meadows Resort & Spa, and Norfolk Woods Resort & Spa
  • Open 11 months of the year. Closed to owners between the 10th January to the 10th February each year. These resorts are not residential resorts. Our holiday home license is defined as an owner spending more time at their primary home address than on the resort over the course of a year.

Our holiday home license is defined as an owner spending more time at their primary home address than on the resort over the course of a year.

what else should I know?

Holiday home owners do not pay council tax as you pay this for your primary residence.

Every holiday home resort will have annual fees you need to pay, these are called site fees. These site fees basically serve the same function as council tax bills, the fees cover the cost of maintaining the park and the facilities, as well as the rental of the plot your holiday home is on.

about holiday homes

what is a park home?

As with holiday homes, a Park Home is still classified as being a ‘mobile home’ but they are covered by separate legislation.

However, a park home can serve as a permanent residence. They are generally a detached bungalow-style construction, which comes in various sizes and styles. Modern park homes are similar to standard bricks and mortar homes in a lot of ways, without looking like it. They are centrally heated, have double glazed windows and mains plumbed in.

The major difference between park homes and bricks and mortar home is the land on which the property sits. With park homes, residents will not own the land on which the property is situated. You instead pay annual site fees to the owners of the park for as long as you are a resident, these work in a very similar function to council tax bills. This does mean that you will be never in full ownership of the property, it is controlled by the owners of the park.

Here at Darwin Escapes, we do not offer park homes ownership at any of our locations across the UK.
