Our Patrington Haven Leisure Park lifestyle started in September 2020 when we stayed at an owner’s lodge for a short break with our new puppy, Toby! Fast forward to three days later, after experiencing the wonderful environment at the park, we purchased our first holiday home, receiving the keys in early October 2020.

When we initially arrived at Patrington Haven Leisure Park in the September, it became immediately apparent what an amazing community and place it is. From the beautifully manicured grounds and flowers, relaxing environment and surroundings, fantastic 5* facilities, to the extremely friendly and caring staff and owners alike. It’s truly transformed our way of life since then and we are now five years in to our journey and on our third, and final, dream lodge with beautiful uninterrupted views of the countryside and sunset. We love it so much that we have now been joined by friends, as well as my twin sister, Suzy Wright, who has recently become an owner too. As well as us, they also see how magical Patrington Haven Leisure Park and the community it has created is. We are so blessed to be part of this.

It’s fair to say that our “happy place” journey at Patrington Haven Leisure Park wouldn’t have been possible without the support and unparalleled knowledge from the Sales Team, in particular, Josie Allerston. From the start, Josie has guided us through the system and only ever provided support and advice that would benefit us. Truly the only thing you would ask for when making such an important decision. We are forever grateful for this wonderful service and what we have achieved together.

Being an owner at Patrington Haven Leisure Park has transformed, not only the way we think about spending our spare time, but increased our understanding of how important a special place to relax and unwind is in life. We can honestly say that we would recommend this wonder community to anyone who was thinking about taking a leap of faith and purchasing their very own “happy place”.

We have always dreamt of owning a holiday home on the Spanish mainland. With concerns about security and also acknowledging how infrequently we would be likely to make use of somewhere abroad while we’re both working full time in our business, we realised it just wasn’t going to work for us. That’s when I started looking at holiday homes in the UK.

We have friends who own a lodge on the East Coast and so invited them round for drinks to chat through what they liked about it, what they wished they had known before they bought it and things they might have done differently and with that information, I started my search.

I reviewed lots of places online and Patrington Haven Leisure Park seemed to fit the bill. We arranged a visit and bought a caravan the same day! With hindsight, that could have been a mistake but the place just ‘felt’ right. Josie who showed us round was lovely and not pushy at all. We were shown a range of caravans within our budget and we went for a mid-range on a lovely sunny garden plot. The peace of mind of having a 12-month guarantee was another selling point, as was the fact that the site doesn’t insist you upgrade your caravan at any specific age – as long as it’s maintained well, there is no age limit which is quite unusual.

The buying process was really straight forward and the help from all the team was fabulous.

After 6 months, a much newer, slightly larger caravan came up for sale at the side of the lake. Steve is a keen fisherman and the fishing lake was a ‘must have’ for us when choosing the site, so when a lodge became available, we decided to go for it!

We would have been very happy if this was our permanent Patrington holiday home but when Josie told us there was a double size lodge coming up for sale two doors down, it was too good an opportunity to miss and so around 15 months later, we moved once more. Again, Josie and the team have been so helpful in making sure that everything is just right for us. But that’s it now, I’ve promised Steve no more moves!

Whether it’s an older caravan or one of the super new models, buying is a serious investment but one we haven’t regretted for a minute. We live just over two hours away so initially intended to visit alternate weekends, but we tend to come out every weekend if we don’t have plans at home.

Despite having a full kitchen with all the kit, I rarely cook as both the food and staff at Guys are fabulous. The entertainment programme adds to the holiday ‘vibe’ and we always try to make it to the special Owner Select events – something our friends who own at a site further up the coast are quite jealous of!

The minute you drive on to the park, with its beautifully maintained grounds, you immediately relax. The other owners have been very welcoming and there’s a real sense of community and loyalty to the site which speaks for itself.

We love it and would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of holiday home ownership.

Overall stood way and beyond better than any other park we visited!
Josie was outstanding! The fact that she told us to look at the park first before even looking at vans or plots! Actually an excellent bit of advice.

Overall the whole park is exactly what we were looking for as first caravan owners!

The grounds, the leisure facilities the surrounding areas are all well maintained clean and inviting!

The food in the club house is good and the atmosphere is friendly! The garden plots are just brilliant and the staff are always around to help . If not there is always a friendly face that will help .

Definitely a good purchase!

The park is very well maintained and looks lovely.

Josie was very welcoming from the first time we spoke, with regular contact even out of hours, she answered every question we have had and supported our sale 100%.

Every query Josie has jumped immediately to support us.

We are so happy with our purchase, the site, the support and Josie.
Thank you.

We had looked thoroughly online at the site, and when we drove down the drive it did not disappoint. The gardens are very well maintained.

Josie was so lovely and professional; she was able to answer all our questions and provided us with all of the information we needed.

We had two children with us who Josie included with in all the conversations.

We bought that day and handed over a couple of weeks after.

The handover was excellent and informative.
