CONSUMER champion Which? has named Weymouth’s Waterside one of the UK’s best value holiday park providers - for the second year in a row.

The company, which operates three holiday parks in Dorset - Bowleaze and Chesil Beach in Weymouth plus Osmington Mills - and one in Cornwall, scored 87 per cent in a survey of more 1,355 participants – a close second next to the top spot at 88 per cent.

Waterside achieved a full house of five out of five stars in every category, including quality of accommodation, customer service, and value for money. The company was praised for its luxury offering, with acknowledgement for its ‘top end stays in beautiful coastal locations’.

Dave Bennett, CEO of Waterside said: “It’s fantastic to triumph in a renowned nationwide survey for two consecutive years, with a consistent score that reflects all our parks’ exceptional standards delivered by our dedicated team.

“As family-owned business with knowledge that’s been passed down in generations for the past 60 years, we’re proud to offer a holiday experience that goes the extra mile for our guests. Each of our parks offers something different and we’re continually investing in each site to uphold our quality promise.

“We wouldn’t be where we are today without our team, and our consistent recognition by Which? is testament to their fantastic work year after year.”

Waterside has continued its significant investment into its parks over the past year.

The company recently unveiled two new holiday home developments - The Stables at Bowleaze Cove Holiday Park & Spa in Weymouth, and Samphire Cove at Tregoad Holiday Park near Looe, Cornwall. Both feature luxury lodges with open plan living, deluxe bathrooms, king-sized bedrooms, hot tubs, and full wrapped decking.

The company marked its 60th anniversary earlier this year by announcing a full rebrand, including refreshed names for the business and its individual parks to reflect Waterside’s quality standards.
