What with the wife recovering from a stroke and old age relentlessly creeping up, we have decided to look for a holiday property in the UK as a bit of a get away, somewhere on the coast or a penthouse type thing in a picturesque city.

The Sunday papers seem to be bombarded with adverts for timber lodges that look something like an upmarket caravan. The good thing about these appears to be the location, the ones I have scanned are on cliff tops or the edge of a lake etc.

The good thing about bricks and mortar is that is that it will go up in value whereas although these lodges are superbly situated, I can imagine them being a financial headache.

Does anyone here have any experience of owning one of these ?
