07 Oct 🏡 What’s the Difference Between a Residential Park and a Holiday Park?

As much as we’d all love to be on holiday all year round 🌞, choosing a park home for full-time living involves a very different set of considerations compared to buying a holiday home. Beyond finding a park with the right ambience and sense of community 💬, it’s essential to ensure it meets the legal requirements for year-round residential use.

At Warfield Park – and at The Paddock’s in Berkshire,  our exciting new development – we’re proud to be a fully residential park home site, open 12 months of the year. We have no dealings with holiday homes and never have. Our residents live here permanently, making Warfield Park a true community, not a seasonal getaway 🌳.

🏠 Residential vs 🏖️ Holiday Parks – The Key Differences

Residential Parks

✅ Hold a residential licence, allowing residents to live there all year round.

✅ Offer homes designed for permanent living, with council tax, utilities and postal services just like any other neighbourhood.

✅ Foster a strong, long-term sense of community among residents.

Holiday Parks

🚫 Hold a holiday licence, which means you cannot live there permanently.

🚫 Are intended for short-term stays or holidays only, even if open for many months of the year.

🚫 Residents must have a main home elsewhere, as full-time living on a holiday park is not legally permitted.

At Warfield Park, we’re proud of our reputation as one of the UK’s most established and respected residential park home communities. We’ve been welcoming residents since 1947, and as we approach our 80th anniversary, our 92 acres of beautiful parkland are now home to over 530 park homes 🌿.

Our heritage, stability and community spirit set us apart. When you choose Warfield Park or The Paddocks, you can be confident you’re joining a legitimate, long-standing residential community – not a holiday site.
