Which? names Hoburne UK’s best caravan parks
Consumer experts Which?, has named Hoburne the provider of the country’s best caravan parks. The company has been named as a Which? Recommended Provider for the third year running, as well as being given the accolade of best caravan park following the magazine and website’s extensive survey of holidaymakers.
Hoburne Chief Executive, Jim Forward, says, “Of all the awards we could have won, this is probably as good as it gets. Which? is one of the most trusted brands there is, and this level of recognition is testament to the hard work and dedication of our wonderful teams, who are completely committed to providing our guests and owners with quality, family time.”
Announcing the survey results in its September/October magazine, the Which? experts wrote, “Anyone who’s found themselves packed like sardines on holiday will enjoy Hoburne’s ethos: peaceful, crowd-free parks designed to be ‘enjoyed not endured’. This fifth-generation family business’s seven locations (in the south of England) are all ideally situated, from a clifftop in coastal Dorset to a woodland retreat in the New Forest.
‘The park was clean, quiet, and very well maintained, which made for a perfectly relaxing break,’ one guest told us. There’s no tray jostling in sterile canteens either. Restaurants, like the lantern-adorned Pier House, with its sea-view terrace, source local, seasonal ingredients such as Brixham trout – earning the brand five stars for its food and drink. Activities make the most of each park’s unique surroundings, whether it’s guided bat walks or instructor-led kayaking on the wetlands of its Cotswolds site.
Verdict These relaxing retreats are a cut above and in idyllic settings.”
Jim says, “We’re especially proud that the reviewers gave our restaurants such high praise, because they give us the opportunity to offer something for our local communities too, open as they are to non-residents.”
Along with the quality of the food and drink at Hoburne receiving the maximum, five-star rating, the parks overall received a customer score of 81%.
“I just want to thank everyone who shared their views with Which?, and to say we will never stop trying to score even more highly in future. We’re so proud to be named the best in the business, and we fully intend to make sure we hang on to that crown.”
