FAQs
We aim to take good care of our customers throughout their time at Little Lakes. If you decide to purchase, you may leave all the hard work to us - we will order your unit, deal with any issues arising during the production stage and site the Unit on your chosen plot upon its arrival on Park so that, finally, it can be handed over to you in perfect condition.
If you do find any problems with your unit we offer a full warranty service.

Yes. Pets are very welcome, together with good owners, as holidaying in a caravan or lodge with your pets is an ideal way of avoiding the use of catteries and kennels. Dogs must be kept on a lead whilst on Park, although we do have an excellent Dog exercise area.

Is a Caravan a good investment?
No. A Holiday caravan is not like bricks and mortar, it will depreciate. Our view is to consider the usage you will get from a Holiday Home, as opposed to the costs of holidays abroad and at home over the lifetime of the unit. Pound for pound, Holiday caravans are very good value the more they are used.

Yes. There is a bus daily service directly onto the park from Bewdley & Kidderminster.No Sunday Service.Is there a warranty on purchases?
