A GROUP of independent holiday parks rated among the UK’s finest are preparing to their guests this winter.
The Best of British consortium says that many of its members have made plans to December and beyond.

“Almost everyone was robbed of their spring breaks this year, but winter is going to be payback time,” said James Loveridge of Highlands End Holiday Park in Bridport, Dorset.
“Demand has meant that we will be staying open until the end of December for holiday home rentals, and right throughout November for motouring guests.
“We’re delighted as I think we’ll see many people becoming overnight converts to a rarely-glimpsed side of our county at its most calming and tranquil.”
Highland End is one of the 50-plus holiday parks belonging top quality standards.
Located throughout England, Wales and Scotland, many have taken the decision this year to remain open beyond their usual autumn shut-down.
“A lot of our visito staycations, and clearly loved the experience as they are now booking return visits later in the year,” said James.
“What they will be discovering is a gorgeous secret Britain which you can have all tors.
“Here in Dorset, for example, are lovely beach and cliff-top walks, as well as inland paths through the countryside, which all have a special quality out of the main season.
“We’ve also a host of memory-making experiences on offer, from fossil hunting torm watching or simply stargazing at Dorset’s famous dark skies,” added James.
He said that Highlands End, like other Best of British parks, will be offering holiday homes to hire which are designed for four-season use with full heating and insulation.
Also likely torhomes which many people rented for the first time this year, and enjoyed the freedom they brought.
James said that local businesses in areas served by Best of British parks would also be likely to winter.
“The spending of holiday visito keep a lot of enterprises afloat, and they were deprived of this income during spring’s shut-down of parks.
“Although it will be impossible for us or other businesses tors making the most of Britain in its winter finery!” said James.
