One of their first tasks was a built a state-of-the-art washroom facility for guests pitching up at the park with motouring caravans and tents.

Enabling them to spend a penny in five-star surroundings cost around a third of a million pounds – and has helped earn Donkey Creek a raft of glowing reviews.

And Paul and Jane also know that their success is not just a flash in the pan because, they say, advance bookings for 2019 are “way beyond our expectations”.

Although Donkey Creek is a new venture, the family has been involved with the parks industry in Lancashire for over half a century.

It also owns long-established Lamaleach Park Estates near Lytham St Annes, a residential park which provides 120 park homes for people in or near retirement.

Donkey Creek, says Paul, was opened to both scenic countryside and its famous seaside resorts.

The park’s spacious new facilities include large showers and drying areas, private family bathrooms, hairdryers, underfloor heating, and full access for people with limited mobility.

In addition tors also gave the washroom cleaning team a special certificate for the outstandingly high standards of cleanliness they maintain.

“Our family feels very privileged to have our efforts acknowledged with an award like this,” added Paul.

The Loo of the Year awards have been running since 1987, and facilities are judged by inspecto overall standards of cleanliness.
