Improving the outdoor space that you have available can make a big difference in your property’s marketability and in enhancing your guest’s experience.
In this guide, we give you advice on what features you can add to improve the value of your lodge to help it truly stand out from the crowd.
Decking Area
Having robust, safe decking is a must for any successful holiday lodge. Pick a decking that suits your property and once fitted, take the time to conduct regular checks as part of your general maintenance routine. Any issues that are found should be fixed immediately. Good decking will provide you with the foundation you need to add interesting features to your property. Have a professional install the decking for you to avoid any fitting issues.

Outdoor Furniture
Good-quality outdoor furniture is a great way to add a little personality to your property. Many guests will spend a considerable amount of their time outside on the patio. That is why the furniture that you purchase must be comfortable, to help them to relax during their downtime.
When picking furniture, consider if it will be easy to clean. Food and drink spillages can occur, so you need items that will stand the test of time. Fabrics such as microfibre, leather, and vinyl (among others) can all be suitable choices but you may want to speak with a professional as they should be able to guide you.

Lighting
Help your guests to enjoy their evenings on your patio and provide them with suitable outdoor lighting. This can create a relaxing atmosphere and stretch out those evenings with friends and loved ones. Moreover, it can be a key safety feature and can help to clearly highlight any stairs and/or paths. Make sure that all lighting is securely fitted and if needed, seek help from a professional.
Parasol
A parasol can be a useful tool for your guests in all weather conditions. Many can be difficult to use, so make sure to purchase one that your guests will not have too much trouble with. Furthermore, take the time to find one that is well-built, so it is able to not just shade your guests from the sunshine but from the ‘occasional spell’ of rain.
Black Dog Lodge
Hot Tub
A hot tub is a premium feature that can raise the value of your lodge and is a favourite among guests. These items can be a significant investment and should be well thought out before purchasing. A professional must install it and once operational, it will need to be well-maintained. Water costs and the price of getting the hot tub cleaned between each booking will need to be considered.
