STAFF AT HENDRA HOLIDAY PARK in Newquay celebrate another Five-Star Gold Award from VisitEngland.

Hendra Holiday Park in Newquay has once again achieved VisitEngland’s prestigious Five-Star Gold Award, earning an exceptional 96% quality rating for 2025. This marks the 18th consecutive year the Cornish park has been assessed by VisitEngland, reflecting its enduring commitment to excellence in UK holiday hospitality.

During the August inspection, Hendra was praised for its outstanding facilities, high-quality accommodation, friendly staff, and immaculate presentation. The inspector commended the park’s continued investment and described it as “a jewel in the crown of Cornish hospitality,” noting the recent redevelopment of the Beach House Bar and Pizza and upgrades to the Deck Bar, which now hosts up to 450 guests in a vibrant, festival-style setting.

Further improvements include new staff accommodation and ongoing investment in team development — with 75 employees celebrating over five seasons of service in 2024. Park Manager Chris North said: “We’re absolutely thrilled with VisitEngland’s continued recognition. It’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team. Ending the season on such a high is incredibly rewarding.
