Simply a perfect park: Eye Kettleby Lakes in Meltop spot in the magazines’ vote

HOLIDAY PARKS belonging to find Britain’s favourite camping, caravanning and glamping parks.

No fewer than 26 members of the consortium are featured in the Top 100 Sites Guide published by two torhome.

They include the overall UK winner of the annual poll, Eye Kettleby Lakes in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, which is part of a family-run farm and fishery.

Thousands of parks across the country were eligible to receive the votes of readers – but in the event, a quarter of the parks regarded as most outstanding were Best of British members.

Chairman of the Best of British, Richard Legg of Hidden Valley park in Devon, said it was a “fantastic result” for the consortium of independently-run and quality-assessed businesses:

Readers were asked top parks throughout Britain

“The Top 100 survey is one of the most highly regarded in the industry as it is based entirely upon the experiences of people who stay on parks right throughout the UK,” he said.

“They cast their votes not just on the quality of the surroundings, but also on the hospitality and warmth of welcome they receive – important priorities for all our members.

“It’s a reminder that holidays are all about enjoying new experiences and taking back special memories, so it’s great to know that we are delivering on all fronts!” added Richard.

As well as being voted touring caravans.

Best of British members also triumphed as overall winners in regional categories of the survey.

Old Brick Kilns of Fakenham in Norfolk was voted best park in Eastern England, and Old Oaks took pole position in Somerset, Avon and Wiltshire

Meanwhile in Devon, Ross Park Caravan Park on the fringes of Dartmoor near Newton Abbot was judged the cream of parks in one of Britain’s most popular holiday counties.

Represented in England, Wales and Scotland, Best of British parks are family owned and subject to an in-depth quality audit before being permitted membership.

“Our aim is to people that they can book their stay with the confidence, and that the standards will be uniformly high wherever they go,” said Richard.

“We’re so grateful to providing everyone this year with the breaks they need and deserve!”
