Surf Bay Leisure describes itself as a family owned and run static caravan and lodge business, with its head office at Winkleigh, in Devon. This article sets out what the company declares on its public website and puts it beside what Green Village offers, so that you can choose by objective, verifiable information.
What Surf Bay Leisure states on its site
According to its website, Surf Bay Leisure buys and sells new and second-hand static caravan holiday homes and lodges across the South West, covering Cornwall, Devon and Somerset as well as Dorset, Hampshire including the Isle of Wight, Wiltshire and Sussex. The ranges named on its home page are ABI, Atlas, Swift and Victory, and it also states that it exports its caravans abroad throughout Europe.
Its history page says the company was officially founded in 1905 and that the business grew over the years to include new and pre-owned holiday home sales and caravan transportation. It says it supplies holiday homes and lodges to any holiday park in the South West, and new and used static caravans and lodges for use on private land. Most holiday parks, it adds, site and connect the units coming onto their park themselves, but Surf Bay Leisure can provide this service if required; transport services are offered as part of an order.
