The key differences

The two main differences between what is classified as a holiday home and a residential park home are the regulations relating to build standards on the property, and the maximum length of time in which you can inhabit the dwelling annually.

It may sound simple but one key thing is that residential park homes and residential lodges are built to 'residential standards' - meaning they are generally better insulated, more durable and built to last much longer than static caravan holiday homes.
