The highly respected AA Gold Pennant accolade is the ultimate stamp of approval for the best caravan parks and campsites throughout the UK, with the latest caravan site to win the prestigious award being the Old Oaks Touring Park in Wick, Somerset
Family-run Old Oaks Touring Park in Wick, Somerset, has been awarded the AA Gold Pennant accolade, following gaining an impresssive score of 97% during the most recent AA inspection of its services and facilities. The news comes as no surprise, considering the park previously won the AA’s Campsite of the Year Award for 2013.
Located just behind Glastonbury, the park – set amongst ten acres of land and offering stunning views of the Mendipp Hills – presents itself as a retreat for grown-ups and has been run for 30 years by the White family, including assistance from son James and wife Tara to who the award was presented during a ceremony held at the Aztec Hotel in Bristol.
Speaking to the Central Somerset Gazette, Mrs White said: “Many of the comments we receive mention the warmth of welcome given to guests, and the park’s regard for customer care – and much of this is down to our staff.”
“It’s great to receive this award right at the start of the holiday season, and I hope it will also benefit other local tourism businesses by throwing the national spotlight on Glastonbury,” She continued.
The AA Caravan and Camping Guide for 2014 is out now, with details of over 900 fully inspected and graded camping and caravanning sites.
