After five years of searching, what made Tracy and Ian choose McCarthy Parks?
For Tracy and Ian Wood, buying a holiday lodge wasn't a decision they rushed into. They spent five years researching different parks, weighing up what mattered most and looking for somewhere that genuinely suited the life they wanted.
Living around Leeds and Bradford, they were ready for a change. Less traffic, less of the busy city lifestyle, and more time to relax, enjoy the countryside and make the most of their days together.
When they found Castle View, several things stood out: the peaceful surroundings, the longer season, the value for money, and the location, with the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and the beautiful Lancashire coastline all within reach.
But what is it really like to own a lodge here? How comfortable is it during the winter? And after all those years of research, what advice would they give to someone considering buying a lodge of their own?
We sat down with Tracy and Ian to hear their story, find out what life at Castle View is really like, and discover why they believe they made the right choice.
