Otters Mead Boutique Lodges, Elmham Road Beetley, Dereham, Norfolk, NR20 4BP

A Unique Opportunity to acquire a profitable holiday lodge park with development potential

Developed in 2019, Otter’s Mead comprises seven high-specification Omar holiday lodges, six Westfield 40×20 models and one Woodbury 40×14 all with more than five years of warranty remaining.
The business is thriving and highly profitable, with the lodges primarily marketed through Hoseasons. In 2024, the owners began accepting direct bookings via a new website and the Anytime booking system, enabling them to increase repeat custom while reducing commission costs.
With existing consent for a further eight lodges, there is significant potential to expand the business and even establish a sales operation. The current planning permission could potentially be varied to allow for manager’s accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

Tucked away on a quiet road in the charming village of Beetley, Otter’s Mead enjoys an ideal position for holidaymakers.
The Heritage Coast is within easy reach. Wells-next-the-Sea is just 20 miles away and Cromer 25 miles, while the historic city of Norwich lies 21 miles to the east.
Nearby attractions include Gressenhall Farm & Workhouse, the Mid Norfolk Railway with its popular steam trains, and scenic walks across Beetley and Hoe Meadows.
Within the village itself, guests can enjoy a Thai restaurant and a welcoming pub. Just 3.5 miles to the south lies the market town of Dereham, known as the “heart of Norfolk,” offering a wide range of amenities including a Tesco supermarket, shops, banks, a health centre, dentists, and golf and sports clubs.
Norwich offers an even greater choice of facilities, from notable schools to vibrant cultural and recreational attractions, while the Norfolk Broads are also within easy reach.
For transport links, the mainline station at Wymondham connects directly to London, and the nearby A11 provides access to the M11 and beyond.
