A Portreath holiday resort has taken home two top tourism awards from an annual presentation by holiday operator Hoseasons.

Portreath lodge park, Gwel an Mor, received the Best in Britain title as well as the Best Large Lodge Escape location in Cornwall at Hoseasons’ 11th annual gala awards evening, an event showcasing the best of the company's lodge and holiday parks across the UK.

Bill Haslam, owner of Gwel an Mor, said: “We are absolutely delighted to win these awards. Every member of the Gwel an Mor team works extremely hard to make sure our guests have a great holiday experience. To be recognised as the Best in Britain goes to show all our hard work pays off and we’re looking forward to welcoming even more guests for what we hope will be another great year ahead.”

The Hoseasons Diamond Awards are broken down into eight UK regions and presented to Hoseasons locations that have achieved the highest scores in independent customer satisfaction surveys.

Simon Altham, managing director of Hoseasons, said: “Gwel an Mor is a worthy winner of both of these awards. Being awarded the Best in Britain title goes to show that they are the best in their field and really do go above and beyond when it comes to looking after their customers.

“As one of Britain’s most popular holiday locations, the standards set by this park are exactly what we have in mind when we talk about offering our customers a better place to stay, and we wish them all the best for another successful year in 2017.”
