Poston Mill in Herefordshire receives highest seal of approval in the 2015 VisitEngland awards for Excellence
Poston Mill Holiday Home and Touring Park has been awarded one of VisitEngland’s most prestigious and highly-esteemed awards for Excellence in the parks category.
Poston Mill, which is located in the very heart of the Golden Valley in Herefordshire managed to pip around 2,000 other holiday parks that were also up for consideration to the post, following renovating the holiday park from what was, twenty years ago, a farm, watermill and bakery. Since this time, co-owners Wayne and Sarah Jones, who run the park with help from their family, have gone on to renovate the 35 acres of farmland into a park, catering for anyone looking to pitch a tent or caravan within the serene surroundings.
Wayne and Sarah’s efforts have certainly not gone unnoticed; the park is growing more and more popular year by year, receiving fantastic reviews from their guests and being showered in various awards. In 2013, Poston Mill was awarded a gold five-star quality in tourism rating score of 97 per cent.
The Park has also received the David Bellamy Conservation Award every year for almost a decade, in acknowledgement of Wayne and Sarah’s efforts to protect and conserve the natural environment of the Golden Valley which makes Poston Mill so special.
Above all, Sarah and Wayne of Poston Mill pride themselves in creating a hospitable and welcoming atmosphere for their guests. Sarah said: “We feel very privileged to live and work in such a glorious part of Herefordshire, and from the outset we wanted to make this a park where guests would feel genuinely welcome.
“That’s why the VisitEngland award for excellence means so much to us, because it is based not just on the quality of the park, but also the standards of service we provide.
“I hope that one effect of our award will be to help other tourism businesses in the area by highlighting what a beautiful region this is to enjoy a truly memorable holiday,” she continued.
The park’s reputation has led to more and more people flocking to the family-run Herefordshire homestead every year, from Britain and from overseas.
