We offer 10 different garden lodges in a variety of sizes, styles & finishes that are perfect for retirement homes, first time buyer homes or Guest Lodges for business or pleasure.
Quite a number of our customers in the last few years have embraced the idea of adding a lodge to their main home (not just for elderly parent care or helping younger members of the family), but as a viable pension top-up idea that can literally pay for itself in typically 2-3 years.
Setting up a Guest Lodge business of 1-6 rental lodges can be a very smart move if you have the land.
We’ll help you acquire the relevant permission from your Local Planning Authority as tourism in the UK is a significant contributor to the economy that is typically within the National Planning Policy.
And with Brexit now firmly on the horizon, the leisure & tourism industry is estimated to be worth £217 billion per year to the UK.
To put that in perspective, Amazon generated sales of around £10.9 billion in the UK in 2018.
So if you find that over the festive period that you can potentially see how a rental income of anywhere between £500 and £750 per week or more (check out Hoseseasons website by clicking here) for a short stay in your lodge would benefit you, here’s 17 reasons why our Dovecote Guest Lodge is the perfect start-up Guest Lodge.
