Forget Center Parcs! Inside the only UK holiday park to earn Mumsnet Rated status – with 100% of families rating it five stars
Families seeking a vacation filled with outdoor experiences and cherished memories often prioritize destinations that offer natural exploration and quality time together.
Among UK holiday parks, one stands out as the sole recipient of Mumsnet’s esteemed Rated status — a distinction reserved for resorts that receive five-star ratings from every participant in an independent review program.
Lovat Parks has recently achieved this milestone, becoming the first company in the nation to secure the accreditation. The brand, known for its boutique approach, maintains a presence in key locations such as Suffolk, Norfolk, Cornwall, and the New Forest.
Comprehensive satisfaction across all criteria
During February half term this year, Mumsnet families participated in a testing initiative at Lovat Parks’ Padstow Holiday Village. The results were unequivocal: every family rated their stay as ‘very satisfied,’ endorsed the park’s location, and pledged to recommend it to others.
“The Mumsnet accreditation reflects not just the quality of what we offer, but a broader moment for UK tourism,” said Raoul Fraser, CEO and founder of Lovat Parks. “Families don’t need to get on a plane to have an extraordinary holiday, and the data we’re seeing tells us more and more of them know it.”
The park’s offerings cater to diverse preferences, including luxury lodges, static caravans, grass camping spots, and safari tents. Pets are permitted on select bookings, while romantic retreats feature shepherd huts designed for couples.
Activities emphasize wholesome family fun, such as fishing, marshmallow roasting over campfires, and ranger-guided expeditions at the dog-friendly Green Hill Farm Holiday Village. The inclusion of electric vehicle charging stations underscores the company’s commitment to eco-conscious innovation without compromising comfort.
Established in 2018, Lovat Parks has garnered recognition over the years, including the Visit England Five Star Holiday Park award in 2023 and a Silver accolade from the British Travel Awards in 2024. Its success lies in balancing luxury with accessibility, ensuring families can enjoy memorable getaways close to home.
