LAKESIDE HOLIDAY PARK ACHIEVES GOLD AWARD

Posted on August 7, 2024

A STUNNING PARK, beautifully landscaped and maintained. A perfect holiday destination, ideal for relaxing and exploring the local area. – VisitEngland

Lakeside Park has achieved the coveted Gold Award five star rating, plus a 95% quality score following a May 2024 assessment by VisitEngland, the official England tourist board.

The flagship park, in North Somercotes near Louth, has seen sustained investment by operator Don Amott Parks in a continued effort to improve the offer and maintain standards – a commitment noted by VisitEngland during their walk-around inspection.

Recent work at Lakeside Park, which was highlighted in their report, includes this year’s installation of a padel tennis court, retarmacking of the roadway into the park with new speed bumps added, the completion of the children’s sand pit, and space-increasing efforts around the exterior of The Waterfront club.

To achieve a five star gold rating from VisitEngland, holiday parks must provide progressively higher quality, and a range of services and physical facilities must be offered across all aspects. Assessments and ratings are based on inspections, with the park offerings narrowed down into various categories.

Each of those is given scores based on a list of criteria. The sections observed, examined and assessed include Cleanliness, Toilet & Washing Facilities, Park Grounds, Pitches and Recreation, Sport & Leisure. Lakeside Park scored consistently highly across the board during the May 2024 visit.

ABOVE: Life-sized horse sculptures now feature at two holiday destinations

The focal feature of an award-winning entry at the prestigious BBC Gardeners World Live show has moved to two Lincolnshire holiday home parks.
The life-size wooden horse sculptures which were hand-carved by an artist in Asia are now on permanent display at Lakeside Park in North Somercotes and Whispering Waters, Mablethorpe.
The ambitious show garden created by Horticulture and Construction students at Derby College Group’s Broomfield Hall won a silver merit medal at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre in June.
The college teamed up with the Multiple Sclerosis Society and a range of sponsors headed by Don Amott Parks which has five Lincolnshire holiday parks. Key features of the garden, including the spectacular wooden horses, have now been rebuilt at Lakeside Park, close to the village of North Somercotes, just 12 miles from Louth.
Chairman, Don Amott said: “Having lost a cousin to Multiple Sclerosis, I was particularly keen to work alongside the MS Society on this project. It is a charity that is close to my heart.”

A leading holiday park operator has stepped up to help its local Parish Council finance a raft of improvements to leisure facilities and services in the area. Lincolnshire-based Don Amott Parks, owners of Lakeside Park which is located in North Somercotes, has made a donation of £20,000 towards the cost of new projects by Lincolnshire Parish Council.

The projects will benefit the village bowls and football clubs, the playing fields, the village Institute and hall, study group and St Marys Church.

Chairman of the leisure group, Don Amott, said: “As one of the area’s leading employers we feel that it is our responsibility to work hand-in-hand with the Council to improve the environment.”
