A HOLIDAY park in Bude has been ranked the third best in the country by members of the public.

Travel experts at Ski Famille have ranked the UK’s best and worst-rated holiday parks from thousands of guest Google reviews to find out where in the country has the best places to stay.

Following the research, Wooda Farm Holiday Park has been placed among the best in the country.

The site came third out of the 242 UK holiday parks with at least 1,000 reviews, only being beaten by two parks in Cumbria.

On average, guests have given Wooda Farm an average of 4.75 out of 5 from 1,270 reviews. The site’s facilities were praised in 41 of 57 recent five-star reviews and cleanliness in 30.

However, it isn’t all positive for Cornwall, with Lizard Point Holiday Park sitting among the 10 lowest-rated sites in the country.

The park, run by Parkdean Resorts, was seventh lowest in the UK, receiving a 3.71 rating from 2,764 reviews. Dirty caravans or facilities came up in 34 of 67 recent one and two-star reviews, staff or service in 28 and worn or broken fittings in 27.

Alex Dyer, Managing Director at Ski Famille, said, “A holiday park break is meant to be the easy option for a family, so nobody wants to open the caravan door and reach for the cleaning spray. What stands out in these reviews is that the parks people love most aren’t always the biggest or the fanciest. They’re the ones that are spotless and run by staff who clearly care.

“The overall score only tells you so much, so it’s worth reading a park’s most recent one and two-star reviews and checking exactly which grade of caravan you’re paying for. If something isn’t right when you arrive, take photos and tell reception straight away.”
