Two trophies in one year for Bude’s Wooda Farm Holiday Park

Some of the families who will pull into Wooda next summer have been coming since the park first opened in 1975. This year they have two more reasons to keep coming back.

Wooda Farm Holiday Park, the family-run park just outside Bude, has been named AA Holiday Park of the Year 2026. And it has also taken Gold in the Holiday Park category at the Cornwall Tourism Awards, sponsored by Tozers.

What the awards recognise

The AA title is a particularly big moment for the Wooda team. It recognises the quality of the park as a whole, from its accommodation and facilities to the overall experience guests have when they stay.

The Gold at the Cornwall Tourism Awards puts Wooda among the region’s leading tourism businesses, and reflects the work that goes into giving visitors to North Cornwall a stay they remember.

Wooda sits in a coastal spot overlooking Bude and the Atlantic Ocean. It is a five-star park, and has built its reputation on pairing the outdoors with a high standard of comfort.

Guests can choose from luxury Gwelva Hills Lodges and premium holiday homes, or touring and camping pitches. There are dog-friendly facilities, nature trails, activities for all ages and an on-site restaurant and bar, The Yard.

As an independent family business, Wooda takes pride in being somewhere people return to year after year, while it keeps investing in the park and what it offers.

Plans for 2027

The awards come as Wooda continues to put money into its accommodation, facilities and guest experience. The park is now looking ahead to welcoming both familiar faces and first-time visitors in 2027.

“Something we can all celebrate together”

Charlotte Veale (née Colwill), Director at Wooda Farm Holiday Park, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to receive these two awards. To be recognised by the AA as Holiday Park of the Year is an incredible achievement, and to also receive Gold at the Cornwall Tourism Awards makes it even more special.”

“Being a family-run business, we care enormously about what we do and about the experience every single guest has when they stay with us. These awards are a real reflection of the hard work, passion and dedication of our entire team, who work tirelessly to make Wooda such a special place.”

Charlotte added: “We’re also incredibly grateful to our guests, many of whom have been returning to Wooda for generations, since we opened in 1975. Their support means a huge amount to us, and these awards are something we can all celebrate together.”
