Making the Most of Your Holiday Home in Every Season
Owning a holiday home at a Holgates park means having your own personal retreat available whenever you need to escape the everyday. This guide explores how to maximise your enjoyment throughout the changing seasons, from spring’s fresh beginnings to winter’s cosy retreats, ensuring you make the most of your investment all year round.
What makes spring the perfect time to visit your holiday home?
Spring breathes new life into the Lancashire and Cumbria countryside. The woodlands at Silverdale burst with bluebells, whilst the coastal paths at Bay View and Far Arnside offer spectacular views of migrating birds returning to Morecambe Bay.
This season presents the ideal opportunity to throw open your holiday home doors and embrace the warmer air. Spring cleaning takes on new meaning when you’re surrounded by such natural splendour – refreshing your holiday home becomes a joy rather than a chore.
Additionally, the moderate temperatures make spring perfect for exploring local walking trails without the summer crowds. Whether you’re meandering through the limestone landscapes at Silver Ridge or discovering the countryside surrounding Ribble Valley, your holiday home serves as the perfect base for these adventures.
How can you create unforgettable summer memories?
Summer transforms your holiday home into a hub of activity and relaxation. The extended daylight hours mean more time for adventure, whether that’s enjoying the exceptional facilities at Silverdale (including the swimming pool, sauna, and steam room) or hosting barbecues on your private decking whilst soaking up those breathtaking views.
The coastal locations truly shine during summer months:
- Morning beach walks from Bay View become daily rituals, with the refreshing sea air energising your holiday
- Evening gatherings at The Cove offer moments to savour spectacular sunsets over Morecambe Bay
Your holiday home becomes the setting for treasured family gatherings. Summer bank holidays bring opportunities for extended stays, allowing you to truly settle into the slower pace of holiday life.
Why is autumn ideal for holiday home owners?
Autumn offers holiday home owners a completely different perspective on familiar landscapes. The crowds dissipate, leaving you to enjoy the pristine parks in peaceful solitude. This season rewards those who venture out with crisp morning walks and cosy afternoon returns to warm, welcoming holiday homes.
The Forest of Bowland near Ribble Valley becomes a patchwork of autumn colours, whilst the woodland setting at Silver Ridge provides endless opportunities for foraging and wildlife spotting. Your holiday home transforms into a snug retreat where you can enjoy:
- Warming meals prepared in your fully-equipped kitchen after days exploring
- Evenings spent on covered decking areas, wrapped in blankets with hot chocolate
- Weekend breaks that feel like mini holidays without the planning stress
Autumn also marks the beginning of the storm-watching season along the coast. From the comfort of your holiday home at Far Arnside or Bay View, you can witness nature’s dramatic displays whilst remaining warm and secure inside.
What makes winter special at your holiday home?
Winter brings its own magic to holiday home ownership. Whilst many assume holiday parks close during colder months, Holgates parks remain open throughout the year, offering owners the chance to experience a completely different kind of escape. Your holiday home becomes a cocoon of comfort against the elements.
The festive season takes on special meaning when celebrated at your holiday home. Silverdale’s facilities remain available for winter swimming, whilst the peaceful parks like Beetham and Netherbeck offer tranquil settings for Christmas gatherings away from the commercial hustle. Winter features include:
- Frost-covered landscapes viewed from warm interiors
- New Year celebrations in familiar yet special surroundings
- Opportunities for winter wildlife watching, including visiting swans at coastal locations
- Crisp winter walks followed by warming returns to your heated holiday home
The Lake District, easily accessible from parks like Silver Ridge and The Cove, reveals snow-capped peaks and frozen tarns – spectacular sights best enjoyed when you have a comfortable base to return to.
