Vive la difference – French holiday inspiration for new Gite

Published on Monday, Jan 30 2012 by

The fabulous French island of Ile de Re and a week in the sun gave us the inspiration behind our brand new style of luxury leisure lodge, which we’ve named the Wessex Gite.
 
Our managing director Jon Day left the office for a week in August and came back with a fully-fledged plan in his head…and the finished product will be launched at the Motorhome, Caravan and Camping Show at London Excel on Valentine’s Day.
 
Ile de Re, near La Rochelle on the west coast of France, has fabulous sandy beaches, miles of cycle paths, charming markets and restaurants, and quaint and distinctive holiday homes.
 
“Our holiday home on Ile de Re had charm, elegance and sophistication. But it was unfussy and natural too,” said Jon.
 
“From the minute you walked in the door, you felt on holiday and I knew it was something that we had to recreate here. I knew it would be something that our industry was lacking and could really make its own.
 
“Our Wessex Gite captures all the relaxed charm and simplicity of a French holiday home.  And I’m sure lodge owners and parks will be as excited about it as we are. It’s a whole new genre for us,” said Jon.
 
The Gite is expected to be particularly popular for the rental market. It’s not only different from anything else on the market right now; it’s also designed to be particularly hardwearing and durable too.
 
“We’d like to encourage as many people as possible to come along and experience the Wessex Gite for themselves.
 
“We’re sure it will be very different from lodges they’ve seen on the UK market so far and will capture quite a few hearts,” said Jon.
 
Our Wessex Gite is being launched with The Dream Lodge Group, who own nine high quality parks in some of the best locations in the country.
 
The Dream Lodge Group has a special investment package for new owners which guarantees an 8% return on investment for the first three years.
