35 new jobs created as Leisure Resorts launches £12m development in the Yorkshire Dales

Leisure Resorts, the luxury holiday park specialist, launched a brand new development in the Yorkshire Dales this May Bank Holiday following a £12m investment.

The brand’s made first foray into the lodge rental market has also resulted in the creation of 35 new jobs.

Aysgarth Lodge Holidays comprises of 75 holiday lodges of a one-bedroom Scandinavian Retreat and an array of two, three and four-bedroom lodges of various designs and high specifications.

Each lodge boasts a private hot tub and decked area, as well as contemporary interiors and modern conveniences which includes fully fitted kitchens and Samsung Smart TVs as standard in every room.

Within the grounds there is also an adventure playground and Molly’s farm, home to two Kune Kune pigs, Peppa and George, as well as a host of other animals including Ryland Sheep, White Chipmunks, Alpacas and Donkeys.

Gary Molloy, managing director at Leisure Resorts, said: “For too long time park holidays have been perceived as a cheap and lower quality choice. Aysgarth is our first-step to proving that need not be the case, placing exceptional, purpose-built, individual lodges within the most beautiful of settings which is finely equipped.

“Enabling singles, couples, families and groups to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy quality time together is our ambition and with close to full occupancy in our opening week, it seems that the British public welcome that very much.”

Rivers Edge in North Yorkshire and Lakesway in the South Lakes are also part of Leisure Resorts’ portfolio of developments with one further acquisition yet to be announced.
