A LODGE park in Bude has been presented with a top regional tourism award by UK holiday giant Hoseasons.

Ivyleaf Combe Lodges was crowned Best Small Lodge Escape destination in Cornwall at the staycation specialist’s 15th annual awards — a celebration of the lodge resorts, holiday parks and boating locations in the company’s UK portfolio that have achieved the highest scores in independent customer satisfaction surveys and delighted guests through exceptional holiday experiences throughout the 2021 season.

Commenting after the awards were announced during an online ceremony Jools Trotter, joint owner at Ivyleaf Combe Lodges, said: “Winning awards is always nice, but being recognised by our customers for our efforts is particularly pleasing. It’s been the most challenging year any of us in the industry can ever remember, but throughout everything we’ve always tried to give our guests the best possible experience we can, so it’s great for our team to get the recognition they deserve.”

Ivyleaf Combe Lodges is part of Hoseasons’ Autograph Lodge Holidays collection. Encompassing 57 luxurious hot-tub lodge locations across the UK, these beautifully appointed places to stay are perfect for couples looking for an indulgent short break in breath-taking surroundings.

Simon Altham, group chief commercial cfficer at Awaze, the parent company of Hoseasons, said: “We all understand the importance customer reviews play in influencing holiday choices and it’s clear from the amazing scores Ivyleaf Combe Lodges have been receiving, that the team are doing a fantastic job of delighting guests and exceeding expectations. The future looks brighter than ever for UK holidays and we are sure this award will help further boost bookings for 2022 and beyond.”
