Frequently Asked Questions

There is a lot to think about when purchasing your holiday home, so we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions. Though if any of these do not answer your questions then please do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help.

Q. How long are the parks open for?
A. 1st March - 30th November. During the closed season (1st December - end February), you may visit the parks to check your caravan but you will not be able to stay overnight.

Q. Do you allow pets on park?
A. We do not allow dogs on park (other than registered assistance dogs). For information in relation to other pets, please refer to our latest park rules.

Q. Can I live in my caravan?
A. No. We are a holiday park, not a residential park therefore your caravan holiday home cannot be used as your main residence. You will be required to provide us with documentation each year to prove you have a main residence elsewhere.

Q. How long can I keep my caravan on the park?
A. We do not have an age limit for caravans, as long as caravans are kept in a good visual and structural condition. 

Q. How can I sell my caravan?
A. We will inspect the caravan and use the Glass’ guide to assess the correct value, and make you an offer. If we cannot agree a price, you can sell the caravan privately off-site. You cannot sell the caravan on the park, or transfer your site license to another person, without our permission. (For existing customers on fixed term licences, you can sell via the terms included in the licence).

Q. Once I have purchased my caravan holiday home are there other additional costs?
A. Yes, you will need to pay pitch fees, Insurance, Electricity & Gas. Our annual fees sheet can provide details of these fees. Please note: some of these costs may be included in the purchase of your caravan holiday home.

Q. Do I need to insure my caravan?
A. Yes. You will need ‘new for old’ insurance. You can insure your caravan through the parks or choose your own insurance provider (as long as it meets the requirements set out in the licence agreement).

Q. Can I rent/sublet my caravan?
A. No, your caravan is for private use only. Friends & family may stay in the caravan.

Q. Do I need a TV Licence for my caravan?
A. You will need to buy a TV licence for your holiday caravan if anyone is watching or recording live TV on any channel or watching or downloading BBC programmes on iPlayer, at the same time as you, at your main licensed address. If you don’t need a TV licence for your holiday caravan you will need to complete a Non-simultaneous use declaration form (available from reception).
