Caravan or Lodge?

Often the difference between the two is just the material used to clad the accommodation.  However, that’s a bit unfair on lodges as some lodges are more like log cabins and offer a similar style of holiday to a self-catering holiday cottage.

So, there are probably two types of lodges to consider.

Single plot lodges

These are log cabin structures built with a similar standard of accommodation to a brick built home.  These will be often a similar price to renting a cottage and will often be in great locations.

Lodge parks

These are a hybrid between a caravan park and an exclusive estate of a few lodges.  The type of lodge will vary a lot from a log clad caravan to a log cabin similar to a cottage.  These can be very well furnished and have luxuries such as a hot tub or sauna.  In some cases they are built around a lake which can offer great views and fantastic fishing opportunities.

Lodge Caravans

These are practically the same as a static caravan except that they are clad with wood and usually the wheels are covered over.  Often these are available on a holiday park alongside holiday caravans.  Generally, these will be a similar price to a caravan rental.So, there are probably two types of lodges to consider.
