A HOLIDAY park is celebrating winning its 100th major award.

Cofton Holidays, which first welcomed guests 48 years ago, has scooped Gold at the British Travel Awards. 

The latest accolade has topped a record years of results, including includes double success at the 2022 Western Morning News Business Awards in both the Tourism and Hospitality Resilience category, and the Environmental and Sustainability category, Gold at the Food Drink Devon Awards, where Cofton captured the top award for its on-site restaurant, and both Business of the Year, and Leisure and Tourism business of the year titles at the South West Business and Community Awards. 

Earlier this summer, Cofton achieved international recognition at the ACSI Awards, where Cofton won Best Motorhome Pitches UK and Ireland. Cofton also won a five-star award from Luxuria Lifestyle in recognition of its luxury lodges, and received its 30th David Bellamy Conservation Award.

In total, the company has won 15 awards this year. 

Helen Scott, director at Cofton, said: ‘We are truly humbled by our recent run of awards success, and want to thank every single one of our customers who took the trouble to vote for us in the Best UK Holiday Parks and Lodges Company category at the BTAs. 

‘Every year we strive to better ourselves, investing in our staff, facilities and services. 

‘As a holiday park, we pride ourselves on our accommodation, entertainment, as well as our sustainable, and environmentally conscious approach to doing business. 

‘However, to be certain that we are providing the very best experience to our customers, we recognise that we need to benchmark ourselves, which is why we enter a broad breadth of awards every year, as this enables us to assess our progress independently against our peers. 

‘It also allows us to identify new ways in which we can improve, which is why, year after year, we put ourselves before the judges. 

‘It keeps us on our toes, and I’m glad to say that it helps to keep Cofton Holidays fresh, exciting, and forward thinking.’
