Forget Center Parcs! Inside the only UK holiday park to earn Mumsnet Rated status – with 100% of families rating it five stars
Mumsnet’s Top Pick: This UK Holiday Park Earns Perfect 100% Family Rating
A Unique Achievement in the UK Holiday Park Sector
Families seeking a holiday escape often prioritize destinations that blend outdoor exploration with family-friendly experiences. Among these, one UK site stands out by securing a rare distinction: the Mumsnet Rated certification, awarded only when every reviewer in a sample group gives it a flawless five-star score.
The First to Reach This Benchmark
Lovat Parks has made history by becoming the first company in the UK to attain this prestigious recognition. The accreditation, a testament to its excellence, was achieved through a rigorous consumer evaluation program conducted during February half term this year. Every participating family rated their stay as ‘very satisfied’ and expressed a clear willingness to recommend the park to others.
Features That Define the Experience
The company, which operates across Suffolk, Norfolk, Cornwall, and the New Forest, has reimagined traditional holiday parks without compromising affordability. Its offerings include luxury lodges, static caravans, and eco-conscious options like grass camping pitches and safari tents. Pets are also accommodated in select bookings, adding to the appeal.
For a romantic retreat, the park provides shepherd huts designed for two. Activities are family-centric and wholesome, such as fishing, campfire marshmallow roasting, and guided nature excursions at locations like Green Hill Farm Holiday Village, known for its dog-friendly atmosphere.
A Focus on Sustainability and Innovation
As a boutique operator, Lovat Parks emphasizes sustainability while introducing modern amenities like electric vehicle charging points. This approach aligns with a growing trend in British family travel, where more parents are choosing to stay close to home, seeking opportunities to reconnect with nature.
“We’re witnessing a shift in how families approach holidays—opting for closer-to-home escapes that allow them to slow down and engage with the natural world,” said Raoul Fraser, CEO and founder of Lovat Parks. “The Mumsnet accreditation reflects not just our offerings, but a broader movement in UK tourism. Families now recognize that exceptional experiences can be found without leaving the country.”
Since its launch in 2018, Lovat Parks has garnered multiple accolades, including the Visit England Five Star Holiday Park award in 2023 and the Silver prize at the British Travel Awards 2024.
