It is our commitment to be there to help you enjoy your ownership and every visit, every step of the way.

Owning a holiday home at Trelay Holiday Park is perfect for those who want to enjoy the flexibility of being able to come and go as you please, but without having to worry about maintenance of the grounds or keeping the heating running. We can take care of your holiday home maintenance allowing you to just enjoy each visit, hassle-free. Our lodges and caravans for sale in Cornwall are also exempt from council tax and SDLT (Stamp Duty Land Tax), which is a huge benefit compared to owning a local property.

We advise on purchasing holiday home as a lifestyle investment rather than a financial investment, as all static holiday homes and lodges are depreciating in nature. As a lifestyle investment owners will be able to enjoy all the benefits of ownership at Trelay as well as owning their own holiday home in one of the best holiday destinations in the UK.

For all holiday homes purchased directly from Hideaway Holiday Parks Ltd from 1st January 2023 (excluding private sales), there is no age limit on the holiday homes but we do require them to be in good condition. We worked closely with the British Holiday & Home Parks Association (BH&HPA) to establish our licence agreement in line with the Office of Fair Trading. The BH&HPA is the governing body for the holiday park industry.
