Introducing our Owner Sub-let Scheme

NEW for 2026: Your sub-let income, paid in three stages

A Step by Step Guide to Let Coastfields

• What is the Let Coastfields scheme?

  Let Coastfields is the fully managed sub-letting service for Coastfields Holiday Home owners. It allows you to earn income by letting your caravan or lodge to holiday guests during the times you're not using it. Coastfields manages the entire process for you, including marketing, bookings, guest communication, payments and cleaning, so you can enjoy a simple and stress-free ownership experience.

• Who can join the Let Coastfields scheme?

  Most Coastfields caravan and lodge owners can apply to join, provided their holiday home meets our quality and safety standards. Your caravan must be within our 10-year age limit, be clean and well maintained, and have up-to-date safety certificates and appropriate insurance that includes letting cover. We confirm eligibility during your initial enquiry.

• How do I sign up for sub letting at Coastfields?

  Joining the Let Coastfields scheme is straightforward. You can collect an information leaflet from Reception or Sales, or contact our Sub-Let Coordinator directly by emailing Letcoastfields@coastfields.co.uk. Once we receive your documents and completed forms, the process typically takes between two and seven days depending on how quickly paperwork is returned.

• What documents do I need to provide?

  To join the scheme, you'll need a valid Gas Safety Certificate, a current Electrical Compliance Certificate, PAT testing for electrical appliances, insurance with £5m Third Party Liability cover including letting cover, a valid TV licence, and your completed sign-up documentation. You'll also need park-approved 'direct to van' wi-fi installed, three sets of keys, and working safety equipment (fire extinguisher, smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector). If you're missing any certificates, our team can advise you on how to arrange the required inspections and testing.

• Do I need to be on park to join?

  No, you do not need to be on park to join the sub letting scheme. The entire process can be completed remotely by phone and email, as long as the required documents are provided and you are happy for our Sub Let Coordinator to access your holiday home if necessary.

• How much can I earn from sub letting my caravan?

  Your income depends on factors including the grade of your holiday home, how many weeks you allocate, the dates you choose, and the facilities your holiday home offers. Based on our 2025 season data, the average 10-week income for sub-let owners was £4,831 for Bronze caravans, £4,840 for Silver, £5,861 for Gold, £6,348 for Platinum, and £9,689 for Lodges. The more peak weeks you allocate, the higher your earning potential. During your sign-up conversation, our Sub-Let Coordinator will appraise and grade your holiday home and talk you through realistic earning expectations.

• When and how are payments made?

  Sub-let income is now paid in three stages throughout the year, rather than as a single annual remittance. Payment 1 covers January to April lettings and is paid at the end of May. Payment 2 covers May to August lettings and is paid at the end of September. Payment 3 covers September to November lettings and is paid at the end of January. A retention is held from each payment (50% up to a maximum of £1,500) to cover utilities, site fees and any end-of-season adjustments. As in previous years, the September remittance will include deductions for the following year's site fees and any related charges. Any retained balance remaining after the final account reconciliation will be paid in line with the scheme terms.

• Can I still use my caravan if I join the scheme?

  Yes, you can still enjoy your caravan whenever you like. You simply need to reserve your personal holiday dates by contacting the Sub Let Coordinator or speaking to Reception, and we will block those dates from the booking system to ensure your caravan is available for you.

• Who manages the bookings and guest enquiries?

  All bookings are handled by the Coastfields team. We manage guest enquiries, payments, marketing, check-ins and ongoing support to ensure a smooth and professional experience for both owners and guests.

• Who handles cleaning between guest stays?

  Professional cleaning and fresh linen changes are arranged by Coastfields after every guest departure, ensuring your holiday home is maintained to the highest standard and ready for the next booking. If your holiday home has a hot tub, sub-let owners also benefit from a reduced hot tub cleaning rate of £50 per clean, compared to the standard rate of £75.

• What happens if a guest damages my caravan?

  We have clear guest policies in place to protect holiday home owners. If damage occurs during a stay, it's assessed by our team and managed in line with the terms outlined in your sub-letting agreement. Where you're insured through the Coastfields insurance scheme, deliberate damage by a hirer is covered subject to a £350 excess per claim, and accidental damage is covered subject to a £50 excess. Our maintenance team handles any issues promptly and will always keep you informed.

• Will my caravan be advertised online?

  Yes, your caravan or lodge will be actively promoted through our full marketing mix, including the Coastfields website, email campaigns, Meta ads, and Google Ads. You'll also benefit from full exposure on Hoseasons and our other external booking platforms. Once your holiday home meets our required standards, we can arrange professional photography to present it at its best.

• Can I choose who stays in my caravan?

  All bookings are managed solely by Coastfields to ensure fairness and consistency across the park. Owners are not able to select individual guests.

• Do guests have access to park facilities?

  Guests who book through Coastfields enjoy the same access to park facilities and entertainment as all holidaymakers staying on the park.

• Is there a cost to join the Let Coastfields scheme?

  There's no joining fee. Coastfields keeps 30% of the holiday tariff for managing the booking, with 70% paid to you as the owner. You'll need to cover the day-to-day running costs of your holiday home such as gas and electricity, along with any breakages or replacements. If your holiday home needs an initial deep clean before your first let, this is £150. Other optional costs include inventory packs (from £450 + VAT) and wi-fi installation through our park-approved supplier LPIS (from £19.90 per month). All costs are explained clearly during the sign-up process.

• Is sub letting allowed on all Coastfields parks?

  Sub letting is permitted on most Coastfields parks, although availability and conditions can vary. Full details are set out in your Owner Licence Agreement, which is provided when you purchase your holiday home.

• Can I remove my caravan from the scheme?

  Yes, you can leave the scheme by giving notice in line with your sub letting agreement. Any confirmed bookings already in place would need to be honoured.

• What support do owners receive?

  You will have a dedicated Sub-Let Coordinator who supports you with documentation, listings, payments and any ongoing queries. Our aim is to make holiday home sub letting straightforward and fully managed from start to finish.

• How do I get more information about Let Coastfields?

  You can download our latest brochure from this page, contact our Sub-Let Coordinator on 01754 872592 (Option 1) or by email at letcoastfields@coastfields.co.uk, speak to the on-site team, or complete the enquiry form on our website. We're always happy to explain how the scheme works and whether it's the right option for you.

• How does the retention policy work?

  To help cover any outstanding charges, damages, or end-of-season adjustments, we retain 50% of each payment, up to a maximum retention amount of £1,500. For example, if your balance due is £2,000, you'll receive £1,000 and £1,000 will be retained. If your balance due is £8,000, you'll receive £6,500 and £1,500 will be retained (the maximum). Any retained balance remaining after the final account reconciliation will be paid in line with the scheme terms.

• What is the minimum commitment?

  We ask that you commit to let your holiday home for a minimum of 10 weeks each year, with 5 of those weeks during peak season. The more weeks you allocate, particularly during peak periods, the higher your earning potential.

• How is my holiday home graded?

  Our Sub-Let Coordinator will arrange a convenient time to appraise and grade your holiday home. Your grade is based on the age and size of your holiday home, the facilities it offers, the number of weeks you let, and the dates you choose. The grade helps us maximise your booking potential and set realistic earning expectations.
