“Parks are no longer a one-size-fits-all proposition, and we intend to deliver the type of experience which people have been telling us they want from a holiday,” he said.

“They still expect fun, but many would rather visit a cocktail bar than a clubhouse, enjoy gastro-pub style meals, and enjoy treatment rooms with first-class facilities and ethical, organic products.

“Beautiful and well cared-for natural surroundings are also often preferred over artificial attractions, and accommodation needs to be exciting, glamorous and perhaps just a bit magical.

“Many of our guests are repeat visito.”

Both new and returning custo surroundings which are a far cry from what met the often more modest expectations of two or three decades ago.

Five-star accommodation with private hot tubs, safari tents, cosy log cabins, and to-die-for interiors with four-poster beds and designer decor are all part of the pampering process.

“We are privileged to attract people who readily appreciate quality surroundings,” said Huw.

“But although we are continually investing in our parks, our family’s twenty year experience tells us that happy memories are also fashioned by just how welcome people feel.

“That’s why we were delighted to have been given three major awards recently in which the parks’ friendly atmospheres and helpful, cheerful and caring staff all played a big part.”

The accolades came from bookings giant Hoseasons, Welsh Enterprise, and LUXlife magazine – and sit alongside the parks’ Best Caravan and Glamping in Wales distinction from Visit Wales.

Celtic Parks’ picture-perfect Pembrokeshire locations are near the market town of Narberth (Noble Court and Croft Country Park) and overlooking Amroth Bay (Meadow House Park).

Each, said Huw, has its own distinct character with which couples and families often fall in love,  leading to buy a holiday home for four-season use.

“The popularity of UK holidays in recent year has not been for reasons anyone would have chosen, but it has certainly opened many people’s eyes to what a fantastic experience it can be.

“Our record bookings for next year suggest this is no flash in the pan, and I’ve every confidence that we will be investing and raising the bar even higher over the next twelve months,” said Huw.
