2013 ABI ‘The Lodge’

The 42ft x 13ft two bedroomed lodge is from the ABI stable so it’s no surprise that it comes with a plentiful supply of goodies.

Externally for example, the holiday lodge sits on a fully galvanised heavy-duty chassis and has uPVC cladding. It also has upgraded external walls, uPVC double glazing, plus a patio door in the end wall of the lounge. It has a pitched pantile roof and domestic gutters and downpipes.

Internally, what isn’t so noticeable is that a winter premium pack is standard making the lodge a good choice for owners who want to holiday all year round. As you enter, the first thing that strikes you is the island unit in the kitchen area.

This has both cupboards and drawers facing the kitchen, houses the kitchen sink and drainer. But the feature which we particularly liked was the semi-circular breakfast bar and four chairs on its rear wall. However, although we refer to it as a breakfast bar, it is also the dining area of the lodge.

Parallel to the breakfast bar, along the back wall, are a number of floor and wall cabinets, plus drawers and a five-burner gas hob above which is a cooker hood. To the right of the hob is an integrated fridge/freezer and to the left a cabinet housing a twin cavity oven and microwave.

There is a small utility room next to the kitchen where a washing machine is included as standard.

From the kitchen a door leads into a corridor and the utility room, shower room, and the home’s two bedrooms, the first of which is on the right of the corridor opposite the shower room. This is the second bedroom which comes with two divan beds, a small dressing table and stool, plus a mirror door wardrobe with two drawers in its base.

Across the corridor, the shower room has a large shower cubicle with a shower head incorporating a thermostatic mixer valve, a pedestal washbasin and mirror, low level toilet, and storage for toiletries.

The main bedroom at the end of the lodge comes with a king-size bed with lift-up storage, a large mirror door wardrobe, plus a dressing table, chair and mirror. Above the bed is a large, shallow alcove designed to take a picture, whilst above each bedside cabinet are two more small alcoves suitable for ornaments. All five alcoves have concealed lighting to enhance their appearance.

Adjoining the bedroom is an en suite with pedestal washbasin, low level toilet, and an identical shower cubicle to the one in the shower room.

Verdict:  The inclusion of a utility room, and an en suite in the main bedroom, are just two of the features which impressed us.

This is a lodge designed for all year-round holidays.

The lodge will come complete with a large exterior sundeck with glass panel finish and fully skirted.
