Live the Dream in a New Luxury Lodge

If you prefer your holiday home a little more 'reem' than rustic, then consider the new Essex holiday rentals from the Dream Lodge group. With eight locations in East Anglia and the South West, the family-run company recently launched an Essex site in Thorpe-le-Soken near the quaint coastal town of Frinton-on-Sea. Surrounded by 22 acres of countryside, Elm Park Country Park is next door to the award-winning Lifehouse Spa. In addition, a new HQ just opened near Stansted, making it easy for guests to fly into the local airport and or pick up a hire car.

These are no damp static caravans with 70s orange curtains. Dream Lodges are decked with designer names, including Ralph Lauren, Villeroy & Boch and Andrew Martin. The Deluxe and Signature versions, available at this site, sleep from four to six and combine freestanding bathtubs,  iPod docking stations and hot tubs. New parks will also open in Suffolk and Berkshire this summer and If you’re feeling flush, you can even buy one. 

If you’re in London from 4-9 July, you can take a look at a lodge set up at the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show.
