Wooda Farm Wins AA Holiday Park of the Year 2026

Wooda Farm Holiday Park near Bude has been named AA Holiday Park of the Year for 2026. The award was announced on 4 November 2026 by AA Hotel & Hospitality Services as part of its Caravan & Camping Awards, which this year recognise 13 sites across the UK.

For anyone interested in a static caravan or lodge by the Cornish coast, it is a welcome piece of good news from a five-star park that already offers both holiday homes and luxury lodges.

A national award for a coastal Cornish park

According to the AA, the Holiday Park of the Year title went to Wooda Farm Holiday Park in Bude, Cornwall. The wider awards list also includes national campsite winners for England, Scotland and Wales, five English regional campsite winners, and separate titles for glamping, sustainability, most improved and small campsite.

Simon Numphud, Managing Director at AA Media, said the winners reflect "the passion, investment and commitment to quality that is driving the sector forward". The AA notes research published by AA Media this year suggesting that 43% of respondents are choosing UK destinations over overseas holidays, and that one in five Britons are planning a camping or caravan holiday.

Lodges and holiday homes, not touring only

Wooda Farm Holiday Park describes itself as a five-star coastal holiday park in the countryside, about a mile and a half from the North Cornwall coast and close to Bude. It has welcomed guests since 1975 and offers luxury lodges, holiday homes, cottages, pitches and S-Pods.

Its holiday homes pages confirm a stock of 55 holiday homes, with two and three bedroom options sleeping up to six people, some dog-friendly and some accessible. The park says they sit in landscaped gardens with sea views across Bude, and that Smart TVs and hardwired WiFi were installed across all 55 homes in 2023.

The park's luxury lodge collection is Gwelva Hills: nine self-catering lodges tucked into the hillside with coastal views. Two and three bedroom models are listed, with private decking and dog-friendly options among them. That mix of holiday homes and lodges matters for Industry News readers, because the AA Holiday Park title sits alongside genuine static holiday accommodation rather than a touring-only site.

A brief nod to the North West regional winner

Among the English regional campsite winners, the AA named Riverside Caravan Park at High Bentham, North Yorkshire, as North West England Campsite of the Year. Riverside's own site describes The Pastures as a 17-pitch development with a mix of caravan and lodge holiday homes, so static holiday ownership is part of that park's picture too. The main national Holiday Park story, though, remains Wooda's win at Bude.

What it means for owners in Cornwall

Awards like this do not change pitch agreements overnight, but they do underline how carefully some parks work at facilities, hospitality and guest experience. For owners already on Cornish parks, national recognition of a nearby holiday park with lodges and holiday homes is another sign that demand for quality coastal stays remains strong.
