A luxury holiday park and one of the UK's fastest-growing caravan manufacturers have joined forces to offer something rarely seen in the sector – single-unit holiday homes built to individual specifications.
Maes Mynan Park, near Caerwys, is working with Yorkshire-based Beverley Leisure Homes (BLH) to create bespoke holiday properties shaped around customers' lifestyles, accessibility needs and budgets.
While bespoke lodges have long been available on the market, the partnership is bringing that same level of flexibility to the single-unit static caravan sector, where buyers have traditionally selected from a fixed range of specifications.
From wheelchair-friendly layouts and home office space to dog-friendly features and custom floor plans, buyers and park owners can influence the design of second homes in ways that have traditionally been unavailable in the industry.
Maes Mynan directors Peter and Louise Barlow say the collaboration is opening-up new possibilities for buyers looking for something more individual than a standard off-the-shelf model.
"We know what our holiday homeowners want because we listen to them," said Louise.
"People are increasingly looking for a second home that reflects how they live.
"It's not just about colours and fabrics anymore. It could be where a sink is positioned, adding extra luxury features including grab rails, creating wheelchair-friendly access, installing ramps to decking areas, having multiple access points, converting a second bedroom into a home office, or even designing a dedicated area where a dog can dry off after a walk around the lake.
"These may sound like simple changes, but they can make a huge difference to how people use and enjoy their holiday home."
She added: "Traditionally, customers select from what is available. Now they can choose their park, choose their plot and, increasingly, choose a holiday home that reflects their own taste, lifestyle and needs."
BLH, founded by chief executive David Hall and headquartered at a solar-powered factory in Tickton near Beverley, has built a strong reputation for working closely with park owners and customers to create holiday homes that suit specific requirements.
As a family-run business, BLH is able to respond quickly to changing customer expectations and explore new ideas in a way that can be more challenging for larger manufacturers operating high-volume production lines.
The partnership with Maes Mynan began to take shape in 2024, when BLH hosted an industry event at the Park. Since then, the two businesses have worked together on floor plan concepts and practical design ideas inspired by customer feedback.
Accessibility and inclusivity are central to BLH's design approach. The company has worked alongside occupational therapists to develop adapted living spaces for wheelchair users and neurodiverse residents - an area David says is becoming increasingly important.
"Historically, particularly in the static caravan market, everything is designed in-house and customers choose from what's available," said David.
"What makes this different is that we're working alongside park owners like Maes Mynan, who understand exactly what customers are asking for because they hear that feedback every day.
"We can design homes around the park owner's vision, the end user's requirements or entirely ourselves. Very few, if any, manufacturers are offering all three options in the UK today.
"True bespoke design is about providing solutions. Everyone's needs are different and holiday homes should reflect that, not force people to adapt to a standard layout."
Peter added: "For a Park like Maes Mynan, surrounded by nature and focused on outdoor living, this is a huge USP.
"We are looking at up to three different floor plan concepts and exploring options that really respond to what customers are telling us.
"We are fortunate to have spacious plots that allow us to maximise the potential of a 14ft single-unit caravan built to residential specification, making the most of the views and countryside setting.
"By understanding what customers want, we can create holiday homes that are tailored to both the location and the people who will use them, while retaining the luxury and quality people expect."
