holiday home Running costs
We are committed to providing an exclusive experience whilst offering great value for our holiday home owners. Owning a holiday home comes with full support from the park team, meaning our owners enjoy the life-changing benefits of having their own holiday home year after year.
Caravans and lodges tend to be very energy efficent, with technology in newer homes having great insulation in the floors, walls & ceiling, double glazing, cost effective central heating with combi boiler and low cost energy saving LED light bulbs. Plus, when you are using the holiday home you can save money on your energy bills at home, what could be better?
When purchasing a holiday home it’s important to consider the running costs. Running costs for owners at Trelay Holiday Park are made up of:
- Site fees – you can contact our park team for details of our current site fees.
- Utility costs – gas & electricity
- Water, rates and refuse disposal
- Holiday home insurance
Our park team would be happy to discuss running costs with you to help you feel fully informed when making your decision whether to become a holiday home owner.
