Bluestone beats Center Parcs in list of the best holiday parks in the UK by Which? magazine

Holiday parks in the UK are great places to enjoy a staycation without the stresses of navigating airport delays or ferry queues - and, of course, they provide everything right on your doorstep. From those in idyllic locations to parks with every activity that the children will enjoy, there are some great ones in Wales and the rest of the UK.

Now consumer research giant Which? - which rates everything from washing up liquid to cars - has named Bluestone in Pembrokeshire as one of the best holiday parks in the UK, beating industry giants Center Parcs and Pontins, which came bottom of the list. Bluestone was named fourth best in a list of 19, while Center Parcs was 12th.

In last place, Pontins, which has a site in Prestatyn, scored just two stars for cleanliness, entertainment, and value for money. Both Pontins and Center Parcs have declined to comment. You can read the 17 holiday parks in Wales for the perfect family getaway here.

There is a wide range of accommodation at Bluestone, including studio apartments, lodges, and cottages. The largest accommodation sleeps up to 12 people and the smallest two people, meaning the park is perfect for any sized group visiting.
