Step by Step Guide Step One . . .

Choose a region

Making the lifestyle change to incorporate a holiday home into your busy lives can be very daunting but equally enjoyable and exciting. At this stage it is very important to choose which region of the South West you would like to make your continued holiday destination. Think about how far you are prepared to travel and what key factors you are looking for in the area itself.

Step Two . . .

Choose your park

Once you have chosen your preferred region, you will need to consider what facilities you will require from your park. Are you looking for somewhere quiet and peaceful, a retreat from everyday life or somewhere that caters for families who are looking for fun and freedom? Surf Bay Leisure has a close relationship with all of the parks in our guide and can provide you with information on each parks facilities and availability. Armed with this knowledge we recommend that you make a shortlist of the parks that meet your requirements. We can then organise for you to visit these parks in person to decide which one suits you best.

Step Three . . .

Choose your pitch

Now you have chosen your ideal park, it’s time to decide where you want to site your caravan holiday home or lodge, visit each pitch to sample the surroundings and view that you will have. Confirm and discuss the following:

• Site rental/annual costs • Pitch size restrictions • Caravan specification restrictions • License Agreement & site rules • Park opening times & facilities • Subletting & selling

Step Four . . . Choose your holiday home This is the most enjoyable part of the process! Now you have spoken to your chosen park and have all your pitch and holiday park information, you can go ahead and choose your own holiday home. All of our staff are fully trained and conversant with the holiday home buying process. We recognise that this is an important investment and decision for anyone to make and that’s why we offer impartial advice and guidance to ensure that you find the perfect holiday home. At this stage there are a number of questions to bear in mind:

• Who will be using the holiday home? • What size will you need? • How many bedrooms will you require? • Are there any essential features that you will require such as an en-suite bathroom, free standing furniture, double glazing or central heating? • Where do the windows need to be for you to take advantage of that fantastic view? With all of these things in mind, the next thing to do is come and visit us at one of our three Sales Centres in Devon, Dorset or Somerset and let us help you find your dream holiday home.

Step Five . . .

Place your order

Now that you have found your park and chosen your perfect holiday home, you will need to discuss a total price (including siting, connection & delivery) with the park owner who can then place your order! All payments for your order will be made direct to the park (payment options are available) who will also arrange delivery, siting & connection for you. As soon as this is complete, that’s it! Your fully furnished holiday home will be ready for you to move into so you’re able to escape from it all, to a place you love for many years to come.

Devon A delightful mix of scenery, rolling countryside with small fields and hedgerows, villages with thatched cottages, churches on hilltops. Majestic rivers such as the Taw, Torridge and Exe, winding through wooded valleys full of wildlife, leading out to sea. Whether you are looking for family holidays, somewhere quiet to relax, or romantic weekends away, Devon has something for everyone. The rural idyl of south-east Devon with its red soil, rolling hills and picture postcard fishing towns such as Totnes, Salcombe and Dartmouth with its 16th century merchant houses. A landscape of farms and valley’s dotted with quaint old villages with their traditional pubs and inns. Another region worth a visit is North Devon, a popular family holiday location owing largely to its glorious coastline. A cluster of seaside and beach towns stretching from Clovelly with its picturesque cobbled streets & harbour to Port towns such as Bideford, with its white houses and tree lined quay to Westward Ho!, Croyde & Woolacombe and then Lynton where Exmoor meets the sea, provide both great scenery and some of Britain’s best surfing on blue flag beaches. Then there are the moors –This is the largest open space in southern England with its romantic beauty that is home to the Dartmoor & Exmoor ponies. Heather strewn moorland and broken, granite tors help to make the moors one of the most undiscovered places in England. But there is more to Devon than the rural Devonshire of holiday brochures. The county's two cities of Plymouth and Exeter are as rich in history as most in England and both retain certain treasures such as Exeter's Norman Cathedral and Plymouth's waterfront. Explore castles, gardens and Houses and what about the 180 miles of the Tarka Trail where you can walk or cycle till your hearts content? All of these features make Devon a popular holiday destination and the perfect place to own your own holiday home that you can escape to when you want to get away from it all.

Cornwall Cornwall’s unique culture, spectacular landscape, mild climate and not to mention being one of the sunniest areas in the UK, have long made this one of the most popular UK holiday destinations. There are lots of things Cornwall is well loved for; the dramatic coastline with its captivating fishing harbours, the spectacular beaches and the pounding surf that provide a natural playground for a variety of water sports, and then of course who can forget famous Cornish pasties and luscious cream teas? Cornwall’s beaches are unrivalled elsewhere in Britain for their beauty and variety. Beach towns such as Perranporth, Polzeath and Newquay are perhaps the best known and are also excellent surfing beaches offering some of the best surf in the UK. Also on the coast are some of the Duchy's most enchanting fishing villages and harbours; Looe, Portloe, Mevagissey, Tintagel, Cadgwith, Zennor and Mousehole are but a few. It's not just the villages that have something to offer those sightseeing, the towns (and city!) of Cornwall are rich in history and attractions of their own. Take Padstow with its picturesque harbour and Rick Stein’s restaurant, Falmouth - a working port and charming shopping town. Then there is Truro, the only city in Cornwall where the cathedral still dominates the skyline. Redruth offers plenty of history and is ideally situated for visits to both the North & South coasts. Penzance is one of the largest towns in Cornwall and has plenty to do and see. From the sub-tropical Morrab Gardens to the bustling fishing port of Newlyn, you should find something of interest. It is also here that you can take a day trip to the Isles of Scilly either by boat or helicopter, plus it’s within walking distance of Marazion and St Michaels Mount. With so many places to visit and so much to see and do, Cornwall is the perfect place to own your own holiday home.

Somerset At the heart of the West Country, Somerset is a county complete with dramatic coastline, seaside towns, epic English countryside and historic places. Being described by the ancient Welsh Celts and the Saxons as the Land of the Summer People, Somerset is a county of captivating contrasts. Its coast takes in long, sweeping sandy beaches, seaside resorts, harbours and marinas, and the dramatic Exmoor coastline. Venture inland and you’ll find a beautiful countryside full of protected landscapes, rolling hills, wild moorlands, ancient woodlands and wetland habitats, dotted with historic towns and villages. There are many attractions including the coastal towns, Exmoor National Park, the West Somerset Railway (a heritage railway), and the museum of the Fleet Air Arm at RNAS Yeovilton. There is also an extensive network of caves such as Wookey Hole and underground rivers and gorges, including the Cheddar Gorge and Ebbor Gorge. At the heart of what makes Somerset a fantastic place to visit is its distinctive culture and history that include willow and cider making, great local food & drink, the legends of Kings Arthur and Alfred and much more. The town of Glastonbury has its own mythical story with links to the Holy Grail, King Arthur and Camelot, identified by some as Cadbury Castle, an Iron Age hill fort. Glastonbury also gives its name to the annual open-air rock festival held in nearby Pilton. There really is so much to see and do in Somerset, making it a fantastic place to own your own holiday home. Becoming a holiday home owner gives you the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with family and friends in a relaxed home from home environment. Turn your dreams into a reality and give yourself the holiday home that you deserve…..

Dorset Is a county of great beauty, a land of contrast and breathtaking scenery. The coastline stretches across some 140 kilometres from Lyme Regis in the west to Christchurch in the east, and offers a selection of some of the finest sandy beaches to be found in the British Isles. It is the perfect place to relax & unwind and explore the vast range of attractions and shops, not forgetting the markets selling fine local crafts and produce. For the more energetic amongst you, you can discover the amazing countryside on foot, by bicycle or on horseback. Swanage is one of the most frequently visited tourist destinations, located in the south east of Dorset. It makes the perfect base for holidays as it is full of beaches, gardens, parks, museums and castles. Then there is Bournemouth that buzzes by day and night with everything from restaurants to live entertainment venues and a whole programme of events for every age group. The interesting town of Lyme Regis is situated at the intersection of Dorset and Devon where the rolling countryside drops into the sea. Lyme Regis offers an amiable climate, everlasting charm and excellent hospitality. For those of you that enjoy a bit of history, a drive or walk through Dorchester will show you many fine architectural examples from a wide range of periods. The town even retains examples of original Roman features, with areas of the original town walls and foundations from a Roman House near the County Hall. Five miles of England's best beaches dominate Poole, which is a truly beautiful place. It gives its name to Poole Harbour, which is one of the largest natural harbours in the world. Let’s not forget Weymouth & Portland if you’re looking for an award winning beach, relaxing strolls, local produce & top attractions. You’ll never be short of things to do in Dorset. Owning a holiday home here offers breathtaking scenery whether you want to get away for weekends, short breaks or holidays. Owning your own caravan holiday home or lodge is an ideal opportunity for you to enjoy home from home comforts, in a relaxed environment. 43
