Bude Holiday Resort is the cream of Cornwall after Pitchup.com names it top-selling site in 2014

Jan 13 2015 Publicado por Samantha Marsh

Bude Holiday Resort on the Atlantic Cornish coast has been named by Pitchup.com as its top-selling site in Cornwall for 2014.

The figures, compiled from Pitchup.com’s bookings for 1,050 camping and caravan sites throughout the UK and Europe, show that the park took 490 bookings in 2014, making it the cream of the crop in Cornwall. Bude Holiday Resort ranks first out of 112 Cornish sites available to book on Pitchup.com, outshining its nearest competitor by 12%.

Dan Yates, founder of outdoor accommodation specialist Pitchup.com, commented: “Cornwall had a whopping 2.6m searches on Pitchup.com in 2014, making it the most popular county in the UK: indeed Cornwall is the most popular search across the entire portfolio of destinations we offer, and the fifth most searched-for holiday destination by UK Google users last year*. Bude Holiday Resort is almost like a destination in itself.  There is literally everything a holidaymaker could need right on site including a bar, diner, shop, swimming pool and even a private footpath directly to the cliff and beaches.  It’s these extras that make the site so popular and ultimately our best seller in Cornwall.”

Bude Holiday Resort is set across an impressive 21 acres of land and offers easy access to coast, countryside and town making it a great choice for all types of visitor. Adults can enjoy the cabaret nights at the Atlantic Bar & Club while children will enjoy the on-site kids’ club.  The park offers an extensive range of accommodation from spacious pitches for tents, tourers and motorhomes through to luxurious holiday homes which can sleep up to eight people including a range of brand new Elite Plus two- and three-bedroom holiday homes which are available for 2015. The on-site facilities and amenities mean guests need not leave the site but if they do there are National Trust walks from the door, more shops and amenities in Bude and three excellent rated beaches within two miles.

Commenting on their success, Barry McGregor, Joint Managing Director of Peter Bull Resorts Ltd, who own Bude Holiday Resort, said: “To be the best-selling holiday park in the UK’s favourite destination is a fantastic accolade for us and testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff.  Thanks to working with Pitchup.com we’ve had more bookings than ever before and it’s great to know that customers are choosing to book with us.  To be the best in such a competitive market is a great achievement and we hope with the support of Pitchup.com in 2015 we can be sitting here in a year from now with the news that we’ve been a top seller for two years in a row!”
