Privately Owned Holiday Homes

• When purchasing a Holiday Home, there are 3 options – you can either buy a new or a pre-owned Holiday Home that’s already sited and connected on a pitch, or you can choose a vacant pitch and we can order your preferred model to be sited there.
• All Holiday Homes will be able to have a decking, but the size, shape and location will depend on the pitch you choose.
• Larkfield has three areas for Holiday Homes – the main area of the Park with caravans, the Bow Meadow area with medium sized lodges, and the newer Jurassic Retreat area with larger,, more luxurious lodges.
• All pre-owned and some new Holiday Homes will come with deckings and steps constructed. The number of steps will vary considerably by pitch and may be between 1 and 7 steps.
• Depending on the pitch and location, it may be possible to get the steps changed for an access ramp, though this may cost more and/or limit the size of your decking.
• If you are choosing to order a new model for a vacant pitch, you will be able choose one with a layout and space to suit your requirements. Our Sales Team can advise you on models which may suit your needs. Please note, this is only possible for caravans, as we do not keep lodge pitches empty.
• All lodges have allocated hard-standing parking, as well as some caravans, other caravans use shared parking areas.
• Paths to Holiday Homes do not come as standard, if you wish to construct one you must speak to the Park Team first.
• You will be responsible for the cleaning and maintenance of your Holiday Home, decking and the grass immediately surrounding you. We can offer help with these services by agreeing on a maintenance programme for a set fee. For more information, please contact our Sales Team.
