Who owns the Park?

York House Leisure owns the park and has done for nearly 40 years; we are a family business intent on preserving the picturesque nature of the park. 

Does the Park flood?

No, Abbots Green does not flood.  In June 2005 the village experienced flooding and a small part (south east corner) of the current caravan park was flooded.

Is the site secure?

Yes, there are electric gates, operated by a key fob at the entrance to the main York House Holiday Park, and a second set at the entrance to Abbots Green.

Is Abbots Green still under construction?

No, we decided to install all bases and services in one go so as to cause minimum disruption to lodge owners, leaving the garden areas to be designed individually with owners and our landscape designer.  

How much does a lodge cost at Abbots Green?

In the main prices will start from circa £105,000, although there may be a cheeky bargain available! 

How long can I occupy my lodge for, can I live here?

Owners are welcome to use their lodges as often as they wish, although they are not for use as a sole residence; they are for use as second homes during the 12 month season.

What are the pitch fees. Are there any other costs, what is the payment schedule?

Pitch fees will be £3940.42 for the 2022 season; this includes 12.5% vat, rates and all ground maintenance. Insurance and metered gas, electric and water bills are also to pay. The pitch fees are due in January and insurance in September. Utilities are read twice a year and are attached to the January and May invoices.

How long is the licence on the lodges?

Between 30 and 50 years depending on the lodge.

Can family and friends use my lodge, can I pass it on to family in a will?

Yes they may, all we ask is that they register at reception on arrival and conform to the Park rules. The remaining license may be passed on to direct family (as set out in the License Agreement) by arrangement with Head Office.

Any rental allowed?

Currently we have no facility for sub letting. The holiday lodges are for your own use and family and friends may stay with permission.  All we ask is that you notify reception so that we know who is on the park.

The Park operates 2 lodges as holiday rentals/try before you buy.

Do the lodges come fully equipped, are there any extras to pay for?

All lodges come fully furnished with fitted kitchens, including a fridge or fridge freezer – dishwashers or washing machines are usually optional extras. Bedrooms and bathrooms are fully fitted including beds, with matching bed sets as an optional extra. Flat screen TV and sound systems are optional extras. All you need to bring to your new holiday home is crockery, cutlery, glassware, bedding and towels and any other personal items.

What is the extent of my pitch, who looks after what, what do I look after?

The main area of the pitch will be to the main door (driveway side) with some ground to the front and back.  Overall size will vary from pitch to pitch. York House will be responsible for all grounds maintenance around the pitch and communal areas.

Do the lodges require any maintenance, how often?

Lodges will require some maintenance to the exterior which will need treating about every 3 years. We ask that lodges are only treated with one particular product – details are available from the Park Office.

What length of warranty do the lodges have, what does this cover?

All lodges come with a Platinum seal 10 year warranty, this does not cover normal wear and tear.

Can I have satellite TV, telephone and internet access?

Yes, there is a wi-fi system on site through which you can access skype. Skype software allows phone and video calls to be made through the internet and the great thing is that if you connect to another registered skype user the call is free.

When I buy a lodge, how long will it be from putting a deposit down to moving in?

This will depend upon whether the lodge is to be ordered from factory or if it is already in situ.  Currently lead times can be up to 11 months!  So if you cannot wait to move in better to buy one in situ!

Once I have decided on a pitch and lodge, how do I pay for it?

Reserving your chosen pitch requires a £5,000.00 deposit – this is non-refundable after 7 days. Having decided which lodge you would like on your pitch and signed the specification you will be required to pay a 35% deposit of the full price, at this stage we will order your lodge. When your lodge is off the production line you will be required to pay 55% of the final cost with the final balance of 10% (less the £5,000.00 pitch reservation fee) due once the lodge is ready for transport.

If you are buying a lodge from stock we would ask you to sign the relevant paperwork and pay a £10,000 deposit – this is non-refundable. As soon as the balance is paid and funds cleared you will be free to move in.

York House Holiday Park can arrange finance for the purchase. Please ask us for details.

Is there restricted access to Abbots Green?

Abbots Green is an exclusive, gated development so only vehicles with the correct fob will be granted access. There may be lodges to sell so we will occasionally have viewings of the area.

If I wish to sell my lodge, how do I go about it and are there any charges?

Should you wish to sell your lodge this would be done through the office. A commission of up to 15% (plus vat) would be payable upon sale – scale as below:

– up to 2 years 2.5%

– 3 to 5 years 5%

– 6 to 10 years 10%

– 11 years plus 15%.
