Haulfryn Anniversary: Inside the UK’s most expensive static caravan

The Anniversary Lodge costs much more than the average UK house

We at CaravanTimes don’t normally pay much attention to static caravans, as they are a completely different type of beast to a trusty touring caravan.
But since the launch of the Bailey Retreat earlier this week, we kept hearing the same question: If you’re after that much space and luxury, then why not just buy a static caravan?
Well if you really want to push the boat out on permanently-sited luxury, then this seems to be the answer – the Anniversary Lodge from static caravan manufacturer Haulfryn.
Sited in the Welsh resort of The Warren, near Abersoch, this three-bedroom model was built last year to commemorate the family business’s 75th birthday.
The Italian-designed interior is certainly highly desirable, with an opulent bathroom and wide open living room, while many of the lodge’s facilities can be controlled remotely via iPhone.

Located on the Gwynedd coast, the surroundings certainly add to this caravan’s appeal, as it is within striking distance of Snowdonia National Park and Bala Lake, the largest stretch of open water in Wales.
Jim Gandon, Sales and Marketing Director of Haulfryn Group, said: “I can confidently state that nothing quite like this has ever been sold before. It takes beach side holiday homes to a new level.”
The catch, as you may have guessed, is the astronomical price tag of £550,000.
To put that into context, that’s enough to buy 24 Bailey Retreats and have them sited all across the country*. It’s also three times the average price of a house in the UK.
Haulfryn are quick to point out that they offer several more affordable static caravans starting at around £40,000, but it just goes to show that when you start looking for more and more luxury, the sky’s the limit.

*Based on an anticipated list price of £22,500 for the Bailey Retreat
