A new holiday park has opened in north Cumbria.
The 50-lodge Meadows Retreat, on the A595 at Moota, is owned by the Hoey family, who also run the nearby Forest Views Caravan Park.
Director Danny Hoey said: “Twenty-eight plots have already been sold. The site is around three-and-a-half acres and we have ensured all the plots are spacious, so it will be a case of when they are gone, they are gone.”
Meadows Retreat permits subletting with no fees payable to the park, meaning that owners can generate an income from their investment.
Danny added: “Depending on the specific holiday home, owners can expect to generate lettings of between £99 and £180 a night which is a great return on their investment. They can manage this themselves or we can offer a competitive management letting service.”
Marc Hillcote, of Carlisle, said: “I was so impressed with this new site I have bought two lodges. The location is ideal, its peaceful and there are stunning views of the Lake District. The staff were helpful and friendly and offered me lots of invaluable information prior to and during my purchase.”
