W elcome to the 2023 Stags Holiday Complexes magazine. Over the past year there has been an increase in demand for holidays in the UK with more of us opting to reduce our carbon footprint and enjoy a staycation instead. Today, the great British holiday comes in all shapes and sizes from campsites to farmstays, eco lodges to luxury manor houses, so if you’re looking to invest, Emma Hallam of Helpful Holidays provides an insight into this year’s trends (p.14-15). Camping and glamping remain popular choices for many, and on page 7 Alister Smith, of Stags Planning and Design team, examines the necessary steps to launching this type of business. Despite the cost of living crisis, there has also been a rise in demand for environmentally-conscious luxury escapes and on pages 4-5 we hear from the owner of a spectacular treehouse spa retreat in North Devon. Diving into a new industry can be overwhelming to say the least, which is why Alistair Handyside, Executive Chair at PASC UK, is on hand to help you navigate through the legalities of owning and running a self- catering holiday business (p.6). PASC is just one of the networks recommended by our Sidmouth holiday complex owners on pages 18-19, who also discuss the increasing importance of EV charging points. Though the pandemic is thankfully behind us, it has undoubtedly altered the way in which we live, work and holiday, as Philip Meek outlines on pages 20-21. In the past few years we have seen clients prioritising lifestyle above other factors and as the South West remains as popular as ever among holiday makers, and prospective buyers alike, this is an excellent time to buy and sell.
