Saxon Holiday Lodges is a well-established, income-producing 5-star gated holiday park set in about 2.9 acres of Dorset countryside. The freehold sale includes two vendor-owned luxury cottages (1‑bed and 2‑bed), 14 privately owned holiday units on long licences/leases, and a former stone piggery used for office, laundry and storage. The site is accessed via an electronic gate, has private parking, EV charging and fast fibre broadband — all attractive operational features for a year‑round holiday business.
The business model delivers multiple revenue streams: direct income from the two owned lets, annual plot fees from 14 privately owned units (reviewed annually), optional maintenance income, and exclusive rights to manage/let the tenants’ properties. A planning application for three additional lodges (P/FUL/2024/04791) is pending, offering clear scope to increase capital value and trading income if approved.
Buyers should note material operational details: heating is LPG with metered supplies; drainage is by two shared private septic tanks; a public right of way crosses the site; and there is an existing business rates assessment (RV c. £7,000). Several units are privately owned on long licences/leases (125 years), so management arrangements, plot fee levels and tenant relationships will be important for the new owner to review. Overall this is an attractive, turnkey rural leisure business for an investor or operator seeking immediate cashflow and expansion potential.
