The At Your Leisure Annual Round-Up
2025 has been an incredible year for holiday home buyers, with more people than ever researching online before stepping foot on a park. At At Your Leisure, we’ve seen a huge jump in views across our YouTube channel—especially on the reviews that help people understand layout, décor, build quality, and whether a particular model is the right fit for their lifestyle.
So today, we’re rounding up the Top 5 Most-Watched Videos of 2025. These are the walkthroughs viewers have returned to again and again, shared with family, saved for later—and for many buyers, they’ve played a key role in the decision to buy a static caravan or compare the latest statics for sale and lodges for sale.
Let’s dive into the models that captured the most attention this year…
1. Victory Franklin Lodge
Our Most-Watched Review of 2025
It’s no surprise that the Victory Franklin Lodge takes the top spot. This model has become iconic among buyers looking for contemporary lodge living with a residential feel. Our full walkthrough sparked plenty of comments and messages, especially from people exploring the luxury lodge market for the first time.
Why the Franklin Dominated 2025
The Franklin appeals to buyers who want:
High-end finishes normally found in residential homes
A spacious, apartment-style layout
A lodge that feels modern, bold, and design-led
Generous kitchen and dining space for entertaining
Many of those who watched this review were researching premium lodges for sale, and the Franklin delivered exactly the aspirational look they wanted to compare.
Viewer Highlights
Our audience loved:
The large, stylish kitchen
The minibar-style presentation shelves
The residential-spec appliances
The master suite with walk-in wardrobe
The Franklin’s modern aesthetic, combined with Victory’s build quality, made this video a clear winner.

2. Beverley Kempton Lodge
The Boutique Lodge That Surprised Everyone
Beverley Leisure Homes continue to impress with handcrafted, boutique-style lodges, and the Kempton Lodge became a fan favourite almost instantly. Many viewers hadn’t seen Beverley models before, and this lodge showcased exactly why the brand is gaining momentum.
What Makes the Kempton Stand Out
People told us they loved its:
Timeless country-lodge design
Cosy yet spacious layout
Exceptional build quality from a family-run manufacturer
Handmade touches that feel premium but homely
A 'love hate' response! This lodge was a bit of a 'marmite one' when it came to the YouTube comments - the dark interior left viewers a little torn!
A Popular Choice for Lodge Buyers
As more people search for unique lodges for sale rather than mass-produced options, the Kempton’s bold and charming design has helped it become one of our most shared videos.
3. Willerby Waverley Lodge
Willerby’s Most Iconic Lodge Design Returns to the Spotlight
The Willerby Waverley Lodge has been a long-time favourite among holiday home buyers, but 2025 saw a spike in interest thanks to its newly refreshed interior styling and practical layout upgrades.
A Layout That Viewers Absolutely Love
The Waverley stands out because of its:
Bold kitchen island
Large open-plan living area
Stylish interior theme with muted colours and modern fabrics
Unique bedroom layout
This lodge was filmed at Akebar Park and was snapped up shortly after we filmed it, this goes to show it's a hit both online and 'in person'!
4. Victory Ashberry
The Stylish Value-Focused Favourite
Victory appears again in this year’s Top 5, showing just how strong their 2025 lineup has been. The Victory Ashberry offers a more budget-friendly option without losing the Victory charm.
Why the Ashberry Performed So Well
This review resonated because the Ashberry hits the sweet spot for buyers who want:
A warm, homely interior
Sensible layout and storage
Strong build quality
Good value for money
It’s often researched by families or first-time buyers browsing modern statics for sale, and the video brought in viewers who were looking for an upgrade without stepping into lodge-price territory.
Features Viewers Loved Most
Warm colour palette
Inviting lounge layout
Well-designed kitchen
Cosy bedrooms with thoughtful design touches
The Ashberry’s approachable price point combined with its attractive design is what kept the views rolling in.
5. Victory Liberte
Bold, Modern & Loved By Design-Conscious Buyers
Rounding out the Top 5 is the Victory Liberte—one of the most visually striking models of 2025. This home has a modern edge that sets it apart from anything else in Victory’s range.
Why the Liberte Stood Out
Viewers were drawn to:
Its ultra-modern styling
The open-plan kitchen and wide windows
The relaxed lounge seating
Its surprising affordability within the lodge category
It’s ideal for buyers searching specifically for contemporary lodges for sale that offer something a bit different in terms of feel and flair.
Why These Five Models Dominated 2025
Across all five videos, some themes emerged:
1. Buyers Want Realistic Walkthroughs, Not Brochures
Our audience frequently told us they valued:
Honest opinions
Real-time layout demonstrations
Close-ups of finish and storage
Floor space that you can visualise, not guess
They want to see what life looks like inside a model before deciding to buy a static caravan or move up to a lodge.
2. Premium Finishes Are a Huge Draw
Even budget-conscious buyers are prioritising:
Better kitchens
Smarter bathrooms
Stylish upholstery
Architectural windows
This shift is driving more interest toward premium statics and entry-level lodges.
3. Personality Matters
Models with instantly recognisable features—like the Franklin’s bar area or the Waverley’s kitchen island—create talking points that viewers remember and share.
FAQs — Holiday Home Buyers’ Top Questions
Here are some of the most common questions asked this year:
1. What’s the difference between a static caravan and a lodge?
Statics are usually 12ft wide, perfect for holidays and getaways.
Lodges are often 14–20ft wide and built to residential standards. Lodges feel more like homes, but statics offer great value and flexibility.
2. Which model is best for first-time buyers?
An entry level static such as the Victory Ashberry or Delta Saffron Deluxe are a great starting point, it's better to start cheaper and check you enjoy using it and are using your holiday home enough to justify the cost.
3. Which lodge is the most luxurious?
The Victory Franklin comfortably leads in luxury and modern design from the reviews we've done... so far!
4. Are these models available on all parks?
Not always—availability varies by park and region, especially for high-demand lodges. Get in touch if you need some help finding the right park.
5. Where can I compare prices for statics and lodges?
You can browse current statics for sale and lodges for sale via park websites and manufacturers’ sites but prices will vary depending on a number of things including location, facilities and park standards so don't be surprised if the same holiday home varies in price at different parks. We don't include prices on our website for this reason.
