Your complete guide to owning a lodge holiday home
At Leisure Resorts, we recognise the concerns that prospective lodge owners might have given the increasing attention surrounding potential ‘mis-selling’ in the holiday home market. That’s why being upfront and building trust through clear communication isn’t just a policy – it’s the very foundation of our family business. We call this The Leisure Resorts Way, and we’re dedicated to being by your side, ensuring you feel confident and well-informed every step of the way.
We’re proud to be open and transparent. We know that buying a lodge holiday home is an exciting journey, but it can also bring a few questions.
We created this hub to tackle common industry concerns and raise the standard for ethical and transparent ownership. Here, you’ll find everything from site fees and sales information to how we price our lodges and handle depreciation – with full honesty.
