Conwy has a mix of holiday and leisure parks across the county, from sites near Llandudno and Colwyn Bay to parks closer to Betws-y-Coed and the Conwy Valley. Most lodges are sold on a leisure licence rather than as a permanent residence, so check the site's licence terms and any restrictions on how many months a year you can use it before you commit.
Pitch fees vary by park and location, so ask for a full breakdown covering ground rent, site services, insurance and any sinking fund contributions. It's worth comparing this against the lodge's specification and finish, since prices can vary a lot for similar-sized units depending on age and condition.
Conwy's road links via the A55 make it easy to reach from Chester, Liverpool and the North West, with towns like Llandudno, Conwy, Betws-y-Coed and Colwyn Bay all within easy reach of the county's parks. If you're buying a used lodge, check its age, service history and any damp or structural issues, and ask to see the site licence and written agreement before you exchange.
Lodges are usually sited on parks that already hold planning permission and a site licence for leisure accommodation, so you don't apply for planning permission yourself. Always check the specific site licence for the park you're interested in.
