The ultimate holiday home…is nearer than you think.
As lifestyles shift, we’re spending more time on UK based short-breaks, grabbing a bit of r ‘n’ r whenever we can, going away overnight and for long weekends whenever we get the chance.
Owning your own holiday home is the best way to do this but, like all beautiful locations, property on the South Coast is highly sought after and that can make a second home in the area prohibitively expensive.
But there is another way to live the dream – by owning a holiday home with Shorefield Holidays.
Is it a good idea to buy a park home?
Unlike other wild holiday destinations, the New Forest is just a short drive over a cattle grid and you’re into another world, an escape bubble promising instant relaxation.
Imagine only having to jump in the car and, after a scenic drive, you arrive in no time at all to your very own retreat.
Here, all your personal home comforts are waiting, and you find all the essentials for a relaxing (or adventurous!) getaway, without even having to pack a suitcase.
This is modern holiday park ownership, in properties where the décor resembles the kind of thing you’ll see gracing the pages of glossy interiors magazines; tasteful neutrals and carefully-chosen accessories, thoughtful storage and flooring that is both beautiful and practical.
"When buying my first park home, I was a bit reluctant. But it soon became my home away from home. The kids loved it and we would spend every summer there without fail." - Kate, 38
There’s private parking, a whole host of facilities and services on the park for you to enjoy, as well as the option to sublet and off-set some of the annual running costs.
As sterling weakens and foreign destinations become less secure, there has been an increase in the sale of UK holiday homes in places like the New Forest and of course the phenomenon of the staycation prevails.
“The New Forest and the region as a whole are so accessible that it makes for endless quick escapes as well as longer breaks throughout the year,” says David Goldsmith, Group Head of Sales & Marketing. “Personal home comforts are all in place, so our owners simply jump in the car and, in no time, are settled in their own home-from-home.”
Shorefield Holidays owns six holiday home ownership parks in Hampshire and across the border in Dorset – offering holiday homes from affordable pre-loved caravans right up to exclusive luxury lodges. On-park teams offer peace of mind with a watchful eye when owners aren’t staying.
