If you choose to buy a holiday home that’s currently on the Park, and on a plot that’s ready for sale, we require an initial deposit of £3,000 to reserve the holiday home, along with a signed Purchase Agreement which outlines all the elements of both your purchase and terms of ownership.

We will then require the full cleared balance to be in place before the agreed handover date.

All of our holiday homes come fully furnished, often with home comforts such as matching bedding and cushions that help to make it an ultimate “turn-key” experience. We offer fully fitted kitchens with integrated appliances, though the specifics do vary from model to model.

Externally, a holiday home comes with bespoke decking to complement and maximise the enjoyment of each plot: we really think about how our holiday homeowners will want to use their outside space – the ultimate entertainment and relaxation area to take in our stunning views.

Yes. A holiday home cannot be used as your permanent residence. This does mean that your holiday home doesn’t incur Council Tax costs, and our Park is open 12 months of the year, so you can still visit and holiday as much as you like!

Once purchased, you can start to enjoy your holiday home in as little as two weeks, or even sooner depending on the situation of your chosen home and plot.

All new holiday homes come with a 25-year Licence Agreement and all new holiday lodges come with a 60-year Licence Agreement.

The one issued by Scarborough Lodge Retreat is the model standard agreement by The British Holiday Homes & Holiday Parks Association (BH&HPA). However, we believe that we’ve gone beyond the standard terms for the sole benefit of our holiday homeowners.

This agreement has been designed to offer both parties security and peace of mind to create a continuing, harmonious relationship.

You are free to sell your holiday home at any time, with all the benefits you purchased it with along with the remaining balance of the Licence Agreement.

Private sales must be processed through the site office so that the Park can ensure the new owners are fully briefed on the terms & conditions of the Licence agreement.

Yes! Part of owning a holiday home means creating lasting, treasured memories with your friends, family and loved ones. Take advantage of our close proximity to one of the top UK holiday destinations and our local surroundings that are nearby: there are so many family-friendly options for you to experience.

Of course! Man’s best friend is welcome to enjoy your new lifestyle also. Our seaside location and host of beautiful walking trails available means it’s a perfect location for our four-legged friends.

We also have a dedicated exercise area on the park where dogs are allowed off the lead – we do however, insist that all dogs are kept on a lead at all times when walking the other areas around the Park.

Yes! WIFI is available for everyone staying on park at an additional cost, allowing you to keep in touch with loved ones, friends and family as much or as little you want. Please just speak to staff for more information.
