Pickmere, Cheshire

Private lakeside holiday home ownership in Cheshire

Owner-only park

Pickmere Lake Country & Leisure Park is a privately owned, owner-only holiday park in the village of Pickmere — a peaceful part of Cheshire, minutes from Knutsford and Northwich.

We offer luxury lodges and holiday homes for buyers who want more than a pitch on a busy commercial park. Here, ownership is calmer, more personal and easier to enjoy regularly — with secure access, landscaped grounds, fully serviced plots, fishing waters and The Farm Club nearby.

Whether you are looking for a regular weekend retreat, a longer seasonal escape or a secure countryside base for time with family and friends, Pickmere offers ownership that feels considered from the first visit.

Why Pickmere

Most parks sell more facilities and more entertainment. Pickmere is different.

This is not a high-volume, entertainment-led site. It is a smaller, carefully managed park where the atmosphere is calm, the grounds are well kept and owners value privacy, consistency and a genuine sense of belonging.

For buyers searching for lodges for sale in Cheshire or holiday homes near Knutsford, that difference matters. You are choosing the environment around the home, the rules that protect it and the way the park is managed over time.

Ownership opportunities

Ownership shaped around how you want to spend your time here

Some owners are drawn to the rarity of a lakeside lodge. Others want the space of a generous rural plot, a beautifully finished single lodge, or a carefully selected pre-owned home ready to enjoy straight away. Rather than leading with price bands, we group opportunities by the kind of experience each buyer is looking for.

Read the ownership FAQs
Can I live at Pickmere permanently?
Important: homes at Pickmere Lake are for leisure use only and cannot be your sole or primary residence. All owners must maintain a separate main residential address. You can use your home as much as you want within the season — it is your prerogative how much you use it within the 11.5 months — provided you have a separate main residential address you are registered to.
Can I sublet my holiday home?
No. Subletting and commercial holiday letting are not permitted. Pickmere is owner-only by design, which helps protect the peace, privacy and long-term quality of the park.
What season length is available?
Holiday homes operate on a 10.5-month season. Lodges operate on an 11.5-month season. We will confirm the exact season for the home or plot you are considering.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, Pickmere is pet-friendly, subject to responsible ownership and park rules.
