Hollicarrs FAQs

Whilst on holiday in the north of England in September 2017, we visited a number of holiday parks with a view to choosing a location on which to have a holiday lodge when we retired.

Of all the sites we visited, Hollicarrs impressed us the most, and being close to York, we felt it was an ideal location for us, close to all the amenities but still in a beautiful setting. We also thought it would be a great place to take our children and grandchildren for a holiday. We felt at that point it was too soon for us to commit to a lodge, as retirement was still at least a year away, and living north of Inverness, it was too far away to use for weekends. However, at the end of last year we decided we did not want to miss out on the site we wanted, and went ahead and booked. We were originally due to visit the factory in Kettering in March, however the “Beast from the East” made it impossible to leave Scotland so we had to postpone until April.

The visit to the factory was a great experience, which we would highly recommend. Being able to choose the size of our lodge, and to incorporate a third bedroom, was a huge bonus for us. We had not seen the Buckland lodge, which we chose, except on paper plans, and had decided that we did not like the layout of the kitchen, so had the plans changed to incorporate a kitchen from one of the other lodges. However, when we got to the factory, we were immediately taken to see a Buckland Lodge on the site, and as soon as we entered we decided that the kitchen was perfect, and we decided to keep the original.  It was also great to be able to see, not just the fabric, flooring and tile samples, but to actually see some of them in place in different lodges. There was no hard sell at the factory, we just went through all the rooms, one by one, and the outside specifications, and decided what we wanted.

After everything had been agreed, we were sent the final specifications, and after that Shane gave us regular updates, sending us photos of the lodge arriving on site, and then again sending us photos of the interior as soon as it was put together.

We finally took possession of our lodge in Sept 2018, and are absolutely delighted with it.

 A great experience from start to finish – thank you to all the team at Hollicarrs!

We recently purchased a lodge at Hollicarrs. After considering several options during lockdown, we decided to go ahead. Shane guided us through the whole process, we visited several times before finally making the commitment. Nothing was too much trouble and he made the purchase procedure clear & straightforward. He gave us all the information we needed in a well organised & timely manner. It was clear that he follows up his sales as he knows many of the residents by name. We are delighted with our home from home lodge.

"We would like to thank Shane for his outstanding professionalism in our recent Lodge purchase at Hollicarrs, Escrick park which he dealt with from start to finish. Our new Lodge which was built on site was a remarkably smooth event and everything went like clockwork. Nothing was too much trouble and as far as we are concerned it couldn’t have been better. Thanks Shane." 

" After viewing lots of sites locally, Hollicarrs was just such a beautiful/tranquil place to choose for our lodge to be sited. The staff are very friendly and helpful with the whole process from choosing which plot, to which lodge and then to prestige to look and choose everything you would like from the external look to all the internal features with a vast choice of fabrics/floorings/furniture and fittings, just brilliant.

Then to see everything come to life as your lodge makes its way onto site, this is when all those choices you've made become reality. we couldn't believe they can produce such a beautiful lodge in such a short time, what a team. We can not thank them enough and would recommend to anyone of thinking of taking the plunge, Coastline leisure, prestige and Hollicarrs are a winning combination. "

I purchased a brand new lodge on Escrick Park a couple of months back and can honestly say that the end-to-end process was seamless and enjoyable throughout.

I had been looking at other parks in the York area and Escrick was by far the most appealing, being set in a very peaceful and immaculately maintained woodland area with great access to York, Selby and the surrounding countryside.

The entire team have been very supportive and helpful. Shane particularly is not your typical salesperson, he has been great to deal with, but more notably has not washed his hands after the sale and has been pro-active in making sure everything was OK post sale.

I would highly recommend the park at Escrick and, after intensive research, I am 100% happy with my decision to purchase a lodge here.

Thanks to everyone involved in making this go so smoothly. 

Derek and I just want to say a big thank you to all those involved in our recent upgrade from a holiday caravan to a timber lodge. 

What could of been a really stressful tense time was made so much easier by thoughtful, patient staff at Hollicarrs and Coastline Leisure. Our particular gratitude is given to Shane, who without doubt took time and care to make sure that what we were looking for was attained over and above our expectations. His polite, professional and caring manner was given to us during the whole process, from moving our old van to siting our holiday lodge with utmost care and attention.

We are now looking forward to spending time here, whenever possible, to enjoy our lodge and surroundings.

Thank you all.
