WHO SAYS BUSINESS
& PLEASURE DON’T MIX?
Investing in a luxury holiday lodge at Maesmawr Farm Resort could be more
profitable than you think with domestic tourism and UK staycations set to boom
Have you found a new appreciation for the
natural beauty found closer to home over
lockdown?
You’re not the only one – new research has found
that 83% of tourists would prefer to holiday in the
UK than travel abroad this year, and this trend
is set to continue into next year, bringing a huge
boost to Britain’s hospitality and holiday sector.
With holidaymakers turning to socially distanced
trips that are locally accessible during this volatile
time, now is the time to take advantage of the UK
holiday market which generates over £9.3 billion
every year in revenue – camping, glamping and
lodge holidays have become a great option for
people wishing to escape everyday life whilst
minimising the risk of Covid-19.
Enter Maesmawr Farm Resort. An idyllic hidden
gem set deep within the heart of the Welsh hills,
Maesmawr Farm offers a slice of escapism from
the hustle and bustle of the usual tourist spots;
this resort is the perfect place to restore and
rejuvenate your senses, being nestled within 27
acres of stunning landscaped grounds, boasting
uninterrupted, panoramic views of the rolling hills
and countryside of the mystical Severn Valley.
Maesmawr Farm is part of the Boutique Resorts
collection, founded by Mark Whitehouse in late
2014 with the aim of creating a collection of
boutique luxury resorts that appeal to those who
seek peace and relaxation from their holiday
time. Having worked in the industry since the
1980’s and having owned several Parks in that
time, Mark has accumulated over thirty years
of valuable experience and insight into the
holiday industry.
This industry knowledge shines through
everything the Whitehouse family does, as Mark
has explained in a recent interview: “Our quest for
delivering a high quality experience to our owners
and guests is built on customer service beyond
that of our competitors, with one simple value
kept in mind: to treat people as we would wish to
be treated ourselves. This is paying exponential
dividends, as our levels of repeat visitors grows
year on year and our lodge owners continue
recommending us to others.
We’ve seen a strong rise in demand for luxury
lodge ownership and holidays in recent years,
and industry experts are predicting the demand to
continue to rise to a sustained level around 40%
higher than it was previously, due to the current
situation introducing new customers to our
marketplace.
It certainly seems that UK domestic tourism is
gearing up for a sustained period of long term
growth, which is presenting strong opportunities
for anyone wishing to enjoy a second home in a
secure environment that effectively pays them to
own it.”
With this focus on exceptional quality, Maesmawr
Farm Resort offers stunning 2- and 3-bedroom
holiday lodges for sale and holiday rental, and
all of the holiday homes have been created in a
collaborative effort between some of the best
designers in the business. With outside spaces just
waiting to be explored and discovered, each lodge
available offers luxury furnishings, quirky interior
designs and large private decks that overlook the
beautiful countryside views.
Not to be confused with conventional Holiday
Parks, Maesmawr Farm offers long-term property
ownership that can be enjoyed for generations,
just like a cottage would be but with the additional
benefits, security and support of being on a wellmanaged,
private leisure development – and the
on-site team can assist with all manner of things
to make visits even more enjoyable for owners
and guests alike with a Concierge-style service.
Offering an incredible investment opportunity, the
lodges here benefit from a fully managed letting
package that covers all aspects of what is required
end to end – from marketing to maintenance.
Buy-to-let owners don’t have to lift a finger and
can simply sit back and benefit from net returns
of up to 10% with peak-week tariffs reaching up
to £1,500 – and for those who want certainty over
higher yields, fixed returns are also available.
If the thought of a hands-free, tax efficient,
high-yielding leisure property investment
with additional lifestyle benefits in the Welsh
countryside has you curious, then get in touch
