Sauchope Links Park sits right on the East Neuk coast, a few minutes from Anstruther's harbour and under a mile from Crail, with sea views out to the Isle of May. It's been a favourite spot for holiday lodge owners for years, and this summer our partners at Largo Leisure have opened a new run of lodge plots worth knowing about if you've been considering a place here.

It's a holiday park, not a residential one, so homes here are for leisure use rather than permanent living, and the park runs an 11-month season, with a heated pool, shop and all. For the full rundown on facilities, pet policy and getting there, see our Sauchope Links Park listing.

The new development at Sauchope Links

This year's news: a new, exclusive run of lodge plots has opened at Sauchope Links, the first chance to buy on this part of the park. Plots are allocated first come, first served, and both new and pre-loved holiday homes are available, with low deposit options if you'd rather spread the cost.

Two-bed lodges and static caravans make up the current release, ranging from compact starter homes to larger premium-spec lodges. Stock and pricing move as plots sell, so check Largo Leisure's live availability for Sauchope Links for what's actually on offer and what it costs right now, rather than relying on a number in this post. See what's currently for sale at Sauchope Links Park on Sell My Group.

What it costs to own a holiday lodge

The purchase price isn't the only number to plan for. Most holiday parks charge an annual pitch or site fee on top, and you'll want insurance for the home itself. Our guide to the hidden costs of owning a static caravan walks through what else to budget for before you commit.

You can't get a standard residential mortgage on a holiday lodge. Most buyers pay cash or use specialist leisure finance.

Is a holiday lodge at Sauchope Links worth it?

If you want a coastal base you can use most of the year rather than just school holidays, an East Neuk setting with Anstruther and Crail on the doorstep and St Andrews a short drive away, this is a park that gets used, not left empty most weekends. Buying new on a fresh development plot also means less guesswork than buying an older pre-loved home, no wondering what's been replaced or what's due for repair.

The trade-off is the same as any holiday-use park: you're buying leisure use, not a residential mortgage-able freehold, and there's an ongoing pitch fee on top of the purchase price. Weigh that against what you'd pay for a comparable let elsewhere over the years you'd own it.
