What Our Reviews Cover

​

When you click through a lodge review, you’ll typically find:

• Interior walkthroughs: layout, bedrooms, bathrooms, living-spaces. We point out things like how open-plan it feels, natural light, ceiling heights, which all affect comfort.

• Kitchen & finishing details: quality of fixtures, appliances, storage, luxury touches vs more basic features. Are the fittings modern or more traditional / cottage-style? Is there good space for everyday use?

• Exterior & outdoor features: looks, cladding or finish, deck options, veranda, windows/doors (French doors, patio), how easily you can access outdoor space.

• Space & storage: how many bedrooms, size of living areas, wardrobes & storage cupboards. Whether there is enough room for everything you’d like to bring.

• Pros & cons: we highlight what we love and what to watch out for. For example, maybe the living room is beautiful but storage in the bedrooms is limited, or a lovely view but the lodge is on a sloped pitch.

• Who the lodge suits best: families, couples, entertaining, long stays vs short breaks; those wanting ultra modern design vs cosier, cottage feel; people who want all-year usage vs seasonal use.​

What to Look Out For When Browsing Lodges For Sale

• Space vs cost trade-off: Bigger isn’t always better if the pitch cost, heating or maintenance wipe out the benefits. Think carefully about how much space you will really use.

• Storage: Lodges are more spacious, but sometimes storage inside may be sacrificed for style. Think wardrobes, cupboards, outdoor storage, what you’ll want to bring.

• Style preferences: Your taste matters. Ultra modern designs may look sleek and fresh, but some prefer warmer woods, softer finishes and traditional touches. Visualise what you’ll enjoy coming back to.

• All-year usability: If you want to use your lodge off-season, check insulation, glazing, heating, etc. If those are weak, winter or early-spring stays may be uncomfortable or costly.

• Suitability of the park & location: Access, distance from home, views, amenities: does the park cater to lodge-owners, what are the park rules, what are site fees, and how close are things you want?
