What are the Benefits of Owning a Lodge?

Imagine having your own private escape. A place you can retreat to whenever the mood strikes, surrounded by nature and comfort. Owning a holiday lodge offers just that. It comes with lifestyle and emotional benefits that make it more than simply having somewhere to stay.

The Freedom to Be Spontaneous

One of the greatest joys of owning a holiday lodge is the flexibility it brings. There’s no need to plan months in advance or search for last minute availability. Your home from home is ready whenever you feel like getting away.

Whether it’s a midweek escape after a busy few days at work or a long weekend with loved ones, you can enjoy your time away at your own pace.

Year-Round Enjoyment

Our resorts are open 12 months of the year so you can enjoy your lodge in every season. Soak up long summer days on your decking. Watch autumn leaves drift across the countryside. Wrap up for winter walks or welcome the first blooms of spring.

Your lodge is the perfect backdrop to create memories all year round.

Exclusive Leisure Resorts Owner Benefits

Owning a lodge with Leisure Resorts comes with more than just a beautiful place to escape. As an owner, you can enjoy a range of benefits that make every visit even more enjoyable.

These include:

• 15% off food and drink at participating bars and restaurants on your home resort

• 20% off holidays for friends and family, making it easier to share your favourite destination with the people closest to you

• 12 month access to enjoy your lodge throughout the year

• One complimentary off peak stay at another Leisure Resorts resort

• Complimentary WiFi

• Dedicated Owner Services and concierge support, including grocery delivery

• Invitations to owner only events throughout the year

These benefits are designed to make the most of your time at the resort, whether you’re enjoying a meal, planning a trip with family or simply settling into your lodge for a few days away.

No Stamp Duty to Pay

Unlike traditional bricks and mortar properties, holiday lodges are generally not subject to Stamp Duty Land Tax because they are classed as movable structures rather than permanent residential property.

The exact tax position can depend on the circumstances of a purchase, so it’s important to take independent advice if you have any questions about your own situation.

Enhance Your Free Time

Owning a holiday lodge changes the way you spend your downtime. Instead of arranging accommodation every time you want to get away, you have somewhere familiar waiting for you.

Our resorts are set in some of the UK’s most beautiful locations, so you’re never far from stunning walks, local attractions and the great outdoors.

From exploring the Lake District around Ullswater Heights to discovering the North York Moors from Angrove Country Park or enjoying the Yorkshire Dales around Aysgarth Lodges, there’s always somewhere new to explore.

A Place to Share with Family and Friends

A holiday lodge is more than just your own getaway. It’s somewhere you can bring the people who matter most.

Host weekend get togethers, celebrate special occasions or simply enjoy quality time together away from the hustle and bustle.

Owners can also enjoy 20% off holidays for friends and family, giving your loved ones the opportunity to enjoy a stay at Leisure Resorts too.

A Sense of Belonging

When you own a lodge at one of our resorts, you become part of a welcoming community.

Many of our owners form lasting friendships, meet up for seasonal events and look forward to seeing familiar faces year after year.

It’s one of the things that can make lodge ownership feel different from simply booking somewhere to stay. Over time, your resort can become somewhere that feels familiar and welcoming.

A Base for Adventure

Whether you’re into hiking, cycling, watersports or exploring quaint villages and local history, your lodge is the perfect base for adventure.

Each of our resorts is surrounded by a different landscape to explore, from the lakes and mountains of the Lake District to the countryside of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.

And because you can return throughout the year, there’s no need to try and fit everything into one visit.

Understand the Costs and Terms

Buying a holiday lodge is a big decision, so it’s important to understand what ownership involves before you make your choice.

Our Ownership Hub brings together information about the costs of ownership, site fees, depreciation, selling your lodge and other important considerations.

You can also find out more about our Site Fee Choices and how our different options work.

It’s also important to understand your licence. New Leisure Resorts lodges come with a 50 year licence as standard, subject to the terms of the relevant licence agreement. You can find out more about our licence tenures before making a decision.

Is Lodge Ownership Right for You?

There are lots of reasons why people choose to own a holiday lodge, from having somewhere of their own to escape to, to spending more time in a favourite destination and sharing that time with family and friends.

But ownership is a big decision, and it’s important to do your research first. Think about how often you’re likely to use your lodge, the location you want to spend time in, the ongoing costs and the terms of your licence.

At Leisure Resorts, we want you to have the information you need to make an informed decision about whether lodge ownership is right for you.
