The five-star English holiday park just named the best in the country with animal farm, wellness barn and £3.80pp stays
ONE stunning five-star holiday park in Cornwall has been named the best in the country.
It’s got more than the usual offerings with a wellness barn for massages and luxury lodges – but you can also pitch up a tent for under £4 a night.
Wooda Farm Holiday Park in Bude received the accolade from The AA which has released the winners of its 2026–27 Caravan & Camping Awards.
The inspector called it a “much-loved holiday destination with families returning year-on-year”. So, what sets it apart?
First of all, the holiday park is in the beautiful seaside town of Bude and is close to lots of pretty beaches.
Visitors can easily get to Crooklets Beach, Sandymouth Beach, Widemouth Bay Beach, Northcott Mouth Beach, Summerleaze Beach and Bude Sea Pool.
On-site there’s plenty to do as well including year-round fitness classes to tennis, woodland walks, golf, coasteering, little ones can enjoy the outdoor playground too.
During the school holidays, kids can try their hand at cheerleading, pottery painting, football, archery, arts and crafts.
Originally a farm, Wooda has lots of animals to see from the pygmy goats, chickens and lambs to the resident alpacas, Bruce, Boris and Bessie.
When it comes to food and drink, visitors can head into Bude, or enjoy the offers on the holiday park.
The Lodge offers quick fixes with takeaway options from fish and chips, to rice bowls, burgers, pizzas and salads.
The Yard Coffee, Bar & Kitchen is open during the summer months for sit down dinners or snacks like paninis and cream teas.
The Bar at The Mowhay is also open for the high season as is Cocktails at The Mowhay where there are also live music events.
On-site is a farm shop too which is stocked up with essential groceries as well as sweets, gifts and toys.
If you are looking to relax, then Wooda has its own wellness barn where there are treatments from massages to eyebrow shaping and tinting and lash lifts.
Even kids can have a little pamper from a mini massage to a mini facial.
The holiday park has 200 pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes with lots of essentials.
Non-electric tent pitches which sleep up to six people start from £23 – or £3.80pppn.
On-site are three toilet and shower blocks with private cubicles inside along with sockets for hairdryers and straighteners
For those wanting a bit more privacy, there are four family bathrooms on-site which can be hired out during your stay at £10 per day.
Or check out the private bathroom pods which have a separate toilet and shower room – they also have their own fridge and hair dryer.
