Buying your first holiday home is very exciting – however with so much to consider, it can also feel daunting at times! We’re here simplify the process for you. Below we’ve created a guide of all the things you should look into when buying a caravan holiday home.
Choosing a New vs Pre-Owned Holiday Home
Deciding whether you should opt for a new or a pre-owned holiday home is a tricky decision. Your budget should be a key factor here, and you should consider your minimum requirements for your family. At Hawthorns park, we only sell high quality static caravans from quality manufacturers.
Wear and tear
If you have younger children and/or dogs, you might feel more comfortable in a pre-owned holiday home, where accidental spillages, wear and tear is less problematic.
Budget
If your budget is tighter, opting for a pre-owned model will help reduce the upfront cost.
State of the art appliances
New caravans benefit from state of the art appliances. If you’re into your gadgets a new static caravan may be the ideal choice for you.

Finding the best place to buy a holiday home in the UK
Choosing the perfect location is an important consideration when buying any home – but when it’s your holiday home, this becomes even more important!
You should ensure that the surrounding area is perfectly geared to your family. If you have younger children, make sure that there is enough to see and do to keep your littles ones entertained, as well as activities that’ll be better suited to them in a few years when they get older!
We might be a little biased, but we think that Lancashire is the best place to buy a holiday home in the UK. Hawthorns Caravan Park is situated on the edge of the Lake District, Cumbria, Lancashire and the Yorkshire Dales and a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts, walkers, mountain bikers, adventurers, or anyone simply looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
