In the advertisements reviewed for this guide, a pre-owned two-bedroom lodge was listed at £89,995, the new three-bedroom Regal Harlington at £219,995, and a premium three-bedroom lodge at £549,995. These are selected examples, not minimum prices, typical prices or a national market range. Your budget also needs to account for anything outside the package and the costs of ownership. [3][4][8][9]
Advertised examples: what does the price describe?
Research snapshot: 29 September 2026. Price-source links and retained advertised figures rechecked on 30 September 2026. These are asking prices displayed in the seller or operator sources reviewed, not completed sale prices, valuations or recommendations. We have not inspected the lodges, reviewed their complete agreements or confirmed availability directly. Prices, offers and availability can change. Obtain a current written quotation before relying on an example.
Pathfinder Thorverton, Hollicarrs: £89,995
Coastline Leisure lists this two-bedroom lodge on plot 48 Harebell, Wenlock, in its pre-owned catalogue. The detail page describes decking and an included hot tub. The year and dimensions are not established in the selected detail source. Before comparing it with another offer, confirm those details, the remaining pitch term and the full acquisition costs. [3][4]
Omar Westfield, Hollicarrs: £159,999
The park identifies this two-bedroom 40ft × 20ft lodge as plot 20 Celandine, Lawley, with fixtures, fittings and the hot tub included. It also appears in the seller’s pre-owned catalogue. Confirm its age, condition, pitch agreement and any transfer charges; included equipment does not establish the terms of ownership. [4][6]
Omar Apex, Cliff House Holiday Park: £200,000
The operator describes plot 50 as a used two-bedroom lodge measuring approximately 42ft × 20ft. Its description of the lodge’s condition is a sales statement, not an independent inspection. Request the age, itemised inclusions, current fees and remaining agreement term before judging the asking price. [7]
Regal Harlington, Shorefield Country Park: £219,995
Shorefield advertises the Harlington at Shorefield Country Park as a new 2026 three-bedroom lodge measuring 40ft × 20ft. Its listing includes decking, furniture, siting and connections. Confirm the exact pitch, handover date and complete payable package in a current written quotation. We have not verified handover readiness. [8]
Lissett Alaska, Jubilee Gardens: £549,995
Shorefield’s inventory shows a new three-bedroom Alaska at this advertised sale price, with decking and EV charging among the listed features. This is a premium example, not a normal-budget benchmark. Obtain the complete quotation, specification and agreement before comparing it with lower-priced offers. [9]
How to use these examples: identify the type of purchase you are considering, then compare genuinely similar offers in your chosen area. The different parks, ages, specifications and agreement terms prevent these five prices from being treated as a like-for-like league table. We have not verified a complete VAT-inclusive acquisition total for each example; the amounts above reproduce the advertised figures, not a calculation of everything you will owe.
Why a manufacturer’s price is not your park purchase budget
Willerby’s Pinehurst page displays a two-bedroom 40ft × 20ft model from £131,700 excluding VAT. That figure belongs in a different category from an itemised purchase quotation for a particular lodge and park pitch. Willerby itself explains that its recommended retail prices are unlikely to be the final prices buyers pay. [1][2]
Ask what the quoted amount covers: the exact model and specification, applicable taxes, transport, siting, connections, decking, furnishing and any initial charges. Record which items are already included, rather than adding them twice. [1][10][11]
Do not subtract a manufacturer’s price from a park’s asking price and call the difference the park’s profit or your available discount. Without the same model year, specification, tax basis, package and commercial arrangements, that calculation does not establish either.
An off-site lodge needs a separate assessment. Establish the cost and feasibility of transport, installation and an agreed destination before treating a low unit price as a usable holiday-lodge purchase. A low figure is not enough if you do not have an acceptable arrangement for where the lodge will go.
How should you compare new and pre-owned lodges?
The prices above are not matched new-and-used comparisons. They cannot show what buying pre-owned would save against a genuinely comparable new lodge. Use them to identify questions for your own comparison, not to decide that one category is always better value.
Compare the exact lodge and the deal around it. Ask about age and condition, size and specification, the park and pitch, what is included, the term offered to you, recurring charges and any work needed before use. A newer kitchen does not resolve a short agreement, and a longer agreement does not prove that the building is in good condition.
Keep physical inspection separate from commercial investigation. Where needed, appoint an appropriate specialist to assess the lodge itself. For the agreement questions, read our holiday lodge licence guide.
Build a complete purchase budget
Ask the seller for the total amount payable for the proposed purchase, including unavoidable charges and applicable taxes, with a clear explanation of the scope. Current CMA guidance says traders should present complete prices up front; finding extra costs later should not simply be treated as an acceptable way to advertise a purchase. The treatment of an individual transaction can require specific advice. [10]
Use the following as a reconciliation checklist, not a second bill to add automatically:
| Budget line | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Lodge and package | The precise unit, specification, inventory and full quoted price. |
| Delivery and setup | Whether transport, siting, connections and any required works are already included. |
| Decking and additions | What comes with the offer, what you have chosen separately and what is compulsory. |
| Initial park charges | The fee period, any amount due at handover and the treatment of promotions or credits. |
| Advisers and inspection | Separate agreed fees for any buying support, legal advice or physical inspection you appoint. |
| Other initial spending | Any necessary repairs, furnishing or equipment outside the agreed package. |
| Money already paid | The payee, date and amount, and whether it is credited against one of the costs above. |
A deposit credited against the purchase price is not an extra purchase cost. It changes the amount still to pay. Likewise, included decking should not be added again. An unanswered cost should remain not established, not become £0.
For the wider investigation, use our holiday lodge buying checklist. It includes a document request you can send to the park.
A cheaper starting price can produce a higher initial outlay
Fictional budgeting example. These are invented offers and amounts, not quotations from the parks above or evidence of typical charges. The rows separate costs to explain the arithmetic; they are not a model of compliant price advertising.
Assume two proposed purchases have the following known costs:
| Known cost | Offer A | Offer B |
|---|---|---|
| Lodge and base package | £120,000 | £128,000 |
| Decking outside that package | £9,000 | Included |
| Setup outside that package | £3,000 | Included |
| First full year’s site fee | £6,000 | £6,500 |
| Known subtotal for these items | £138,000 | £134,500 |
Offer B starts £8,000 higher but is £3,500 lower across these specified items. That does not make it the better purchase overall. It has a higher starting annual fee, and we have not compared the agreements, condition, later increases or exit position.
Separate adviser and inspection fees, utilities, insurance, maintenance, finance and other unpriced items are outside these subtotals. This is not a complete first-year budget or total ownership-cost calculation. There is no assumed rental income or resale value.
What should you allow for after buying?
Purchase affordability and ongoing affordability are different questions. The NCC’s holiday-ownership guidance identifies pitch fees, utilities, insurance and maintenance as costs buyers need to understand. [12]
Establish the underlying recurring fee even when an introductory period is waived. Check which charges the offer covers, when the concession ends and how later charges are reviewed. A promotion does not establish that future ownership will fit your budget. [11]
Use the site-fees guide for fee structures and reviews, and the ownership-cost calculator for a longer-term scenario using your own figures. Treat unknown amounts and assumed growth rates explicitly. The calculator is not a quotation, valuation or guarantee.
Think about leaving as well as arriving. Read the agreement alongside the resale and exit guide, and consider the uncertainty explained in the depreciation guide. Do not assume a future resale will recover the price you pay.
Is the asking price good value for you?
A price can be affordable without the purchase being suitable. Compare offers only after establishing whether the lodge, location and agreement support the way you want to use it.
Our suggested decision sequence is: establish the complete purchase budget, test the recurring costs without relying on optimistic letting income, check the agreement and condition, and then judge the price against comparable offers. Keep enjoyment and convenience in the decision, but do not use an assumed profit to make an otherwise unaffordable purchase appear comfortable.
Negotiation can address the price, inclusions or commercial terms where there is credible scope. There is no standard discount promised here. A price reduction should not override an unresolved material issue. Our fictional Deal Assessment shows how a lower offer can still leave a purchase on HOLD.
