When purchasing a holiday lodge, there are several important factors to keep in mind. To help you make an informed decision. Westcountry Resorts has created a comprehensive guide specifically for buying a holiday lodge in Somerset.
Somerset is renowned for its breathtaking countryside and rich historic landmarks. While many travelers pass through on their way to Devon and Cornwall. Somerset itself offers everything you need and more for the perfect retreat. Whether you’re planning a family getaway or a romantic escape. You will find that Somerset’s charm, beauty and variety make it an ideal destination for all.
Somerset boasts more than just rolling countryside and spectacular coastline. It’s also home to a variety of charming towns and villages, each brimming with unique character and fascinating history. Whether you want to step back in time or wander picturesque harbours. Somerset has something for every visitor.
Among the county’s most captivating spots is the medieval village of Dunster. Stroll along cobbled streets lined with centuries-old cottages and gaze up at the magnificent Dunster Castle that presides over the village. Independent shops, inviting tea rooms and lush gardens all contribute to Dunster’s timeless charm.
A short journey along the coast brings you to the delightful seaside town of Watchet. Explore Watchet’s vibrant marina, discover its rich maritime history, browse independent galleries, relax in friendly cafés and enjoy scenic coastal walks.
Somerset is home to a wonderful selection of traditional British seaside towns, each offering its own unique blend of coastal charm and family-friendly attractions.
The bustling town of Weston-super-Mare is one of Somerset’s most popular seaside destinations. Renowned for its long sandy beach, iconic Grand Pier and wide range of attractions. It’s the perfect place to enjoy classic seaside fun, from fish and chips and donkey rides to arcades, shopping and year-round events.
Further along the coast, the well-known town of Minehead provides a more relaxed seaside experience. As the gateway to Exmoor National Park and home to the West Somerset Railway, Minehead combines beautiful coastal scenery with historic charm. Its attractive harbour, colourful seafront and welcoming atmosphere make it an ideal destination for families, walkers and nature lovers alike.
If you’re considering buying a lodge in Somerset, it’s important to understand the difference between residential and holiday parks. The majority of lodges for sale are located on holiday parks rather than residential developments. This means they are intended for leisure use only.
As a result, you’ll typically only be able to stay in your lodge for a set number of months each year. This depends on the park’s licence and opening season. These occupancy restrictions mean that holiday lodges cannot usually be used as your permanent home, even if the park is open for most of the year.
If you’re looking to live in a lodge full-time, it’s essential to choose a fully residential park with the appropriate planning permission and a residential site licence. Before purchasing, always check the park’s occupancy rules, licence conditions and whether year-round residential living is permitted
