Home › How to Own a Lodge
From your first park tour to collecting your keys, owning a holiday lodge on the Cornish coast is more straightforward than you might think. Here's how the journey works.
Your ownership journey
We've made the process clear, friendly and free of surprises. Whether you've owned a holiday home before or this is your first time, your dedicated sales advisor walks beside you at every stage, from your initial questions to the moment you let yourself into your new lodge for the first time.
Call the sales team or request a brochure. We'll have a relaxed, no-pressure chat about what you're looking for and the lodges currently for sale.
Book a no-obligation guided park tour. We'll show you the resort, the on-park facilities and walk you through any lodges that catch your eye.
New or pre-loved. Sea view or countryside aspect. Two bedrooms or three. Take your time, ask anything, and pick the lodge and plot that fits your life.
A non-refundable reservation fee secures your chosen lodge and takes it off the market. Your sales advisor walks you through every detail.
Pay outright, release equity, or use a specialist holiday-home lender. We'll introduce you to the right options for your situation.
Complete your lease, pick up the keys, and step into your Cornish lodge. The conveyancing takes around nine weeks on average.
What to expect on a park tour
Allow about 60 to 90 minutes. We'll meet you at reception, walk you around the resort, show you the available lodges, and answer every question over a coffee. No hard sell, no commitment, just a genuine introduction to life at the Fort.
Enough time to see the park properly without rushing, and to ask everything you'd like to know.
One dedicated point of contact who'll guide you from arrival through to your follow-up call.
View the current lodges for sale in person, from the kitchen units to the decking and the view from the window.
Sit down with the team for a chat. There's no commitment to anything, ever, bring a list of questions if it helps.
Reserving your lodge
Once you've found the lodge that's right for you, a non-refundable reservation fee takes it off the market and starts the formal process. From there, your advisor will guide you through the process at your pace.
Funding your purchase
You don't need to buy outright. We work alongside specialist lenders and offer flexible payment arrangements, so the right route to ownership is rarely the only route.
The simplest route. Reserve your lodge, complete the process, and pay in full when you're ready to collect the keys.
We can introduce you to lenders who specialise in holiday-home and lodge finance, with arrangements designed around lodge ownership rather than residential mortgages.
Owner lifestyle
Your lodge, your rules. As an owner you're free to use your lodge as often as you'd like, throughout our 12-month holiday season, provided it isn't your primary UK residence.
Spend long mornings on the cliff path. Bring the dog, the grandchildren, the whole family. Walk down to four miles of soft sand at Whitsand Bay. Drive twenty minutes for dinner in Cawsand. Watch the sun set over the Tamar from your decking.
And when you're not using it yourself, if you choose to, let your lodge work for you with subletting and rental income.

Letting & on-park support
If you choose to let, you can manage bookings yourself or appoint a letting agency of your choice, there's no obligation to use any specific provider. Our on-site customer service team handles the small things on your behalf: lost keys, forgotten access codes, the everyday questions that crop up.
For owners who prefer hands-off ownership, we offer optional laundry and housekeeping services, subject to availability, so your lodge stays guest-ready without you lifting a finger. Most parks don't offer this, but we do, because we understand what owners actually want.
Life at the Fort
Ready to take the first step?
The best way to understand life at the Fort is to walk the park, step inside a lodge, and take in the views with your own eyes. Tours are no-obligation and run seven days a week.
