Blairgowrie Wins 'Best Holiday Park' Award

We are absolutely ecstatic that Blairgowrie Holiday Park won Best Holiday Park in last night’s coveted Scottish Hospitality Awards – and that Lomond Woods and Campsie Glen were also finalists.

Blairgowrie Holiday Park,was the very first holiday park opened by Colin & Margaret Wood forty years ago. To be recognised as the best, and still able to beat off stiff competition after four decades, makes this award incredibly special.  

Customers have always been at the heart of the business. Right from the start, the focus for Colin & Margaret was on providing high standards with quality accommodation, spotless facilities, and excellent customer care. These have included a Thistle Award, the Oscar of the tourism industry in Scotland and Family Business of the Year in the Courier Awards. This Scottish Hospitality Award, reinforces their commitment and passion as a strong family business planning for the future and continuing to provide memorable holiday experiences for guests. 

Sarah Wood MacGregor, Sales Director added: “We are delighted to be kicking off the summer season by winning Best Holiday Park in Scotland and to be able to bring the trophy back to Perthshire, to our team at Blairgowrie Holiday Park. A huge thank you to all our loyal customers who voted for us, we couldn’t have won without your continuing support! We have a fantastic team at Blairgowrie who contributed massively in achieving this award. A big ‘Well Done’ also goes to our teams at Campsie Glen Holiday Park and Lomond Woods Holiday Park for also reaching the finals."

“After an incredibly difficult period for all tourism business, it is wonderful to be able to celebrate this good news. Demand for staycations with Wood Leisure continues to be incredibly positive in 2022. We have also seen increased demand for holiday homes as people chose to invest in lodges and caravan holiday homes for their families to come together and enjoy. The business has also benefitted from the increasing popularity of motorhomes and touring, with the popularity of the Northcoast 500.”
