Perfect for all skill levels, the custom-made surf rides deliver excitement for beginners and seasoned surfers. Ustigate Waterplay and WaveSurfer are excited to bring the thrill of surfing to everyone, no matter where they are!

As seen and enjoyed by many at multi-award-winning Woolacombe Bay’s Twitchen House Holiday Park in the UK this year! “Since the start up we have not had a single day of downtime with the WaveSurfer. That is super important to us because it is an additional source of income.” - Zoe McGregor, Assistant Park Manager, Golden Coast Wavesurfer is Woolacombe Bay’s surfing simulator at Twitchen House Holiday Park.

It gives you the chance to body board minus the ocean but with all the wipeouts! They kit you up with wet suits and boards, give you a demo and teach you a few cool trips so whether it’s your first time surfing or you’re a real pro, it is totally radical.

The amazing feat of engineering shoots 60,000 litres of water over it’s curved, padded surface every minute. It means you can have a go at surfing even if the surf at sea isn’t quite right - even Britain’s best beach has it’s bad days. And because it’s got a sliding roof and heated to 28-degrees like the Caribbean Sea it really is all-weather action guaranteed.

DEVON AMONG WORLD’S BEST

Posted on July 31, 2025

Three North Devon holiday parks have achieved global recognition, earning a coveted spot among the top 10% of destinations worldwide according to Tripadvisor’s prestigious 2025 Travellers’ Choice Awards.

Woolacombe Bay Holiday Park, Twitchen House, and Easewell Farm, operated under the Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks brand, have all been named winners in this year’s awards, completing a remarkable clean sweep for the coastal collection.

The Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards are based entirely on feedback from real travellers, recognising accommodations, attractions, and restaurants that consistently receive high ratings. For Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks, it’s a milestone that reflects both quality and consistency.

“We’re absolutely thrilled that all three of our Parks have received the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award for 2025,” said Kevin Darvill, Sales and Marketing Director. “What makes this recognition so special is that it’s based entirely on real feedback from our guests. It’s a true reflection of the hard work and passion our team puts into making every holiday memorable.”

ALL THREE PARKS HOLD TRIPADVISOR ratings of 4 stars or higher, scoring particularly well for cleanliness, facilities and location.

That passion includes significant reinvestment in facilities, over £6 million in just two years. This year alone, the group unveiled £3 million worth of upgrades, including the new energy-efficient outdoor pool complex at Woolacombe Bay featuring a twisting flume, splash pad, and multi-lane slide. Meanwhile, Twitchen House introduced the WaveSurfer surfing simulator, further boosting its family-friendly activity offering.

Guests have responded enthusiastically. All three parks hold Tripadvisor ratings of 4 stars or higher, scoring particularly well for cleanliness, facilities, and location. The area’s outstanding natural beauty certainly helps too, Woolacombe Beach is consistently voted one of the UK’s best, and all three parks are within easy reach of its golden sands.

As Devon remains one of the top five counties for overnight visits, standout destinations like these are vital to its thriving tourism economy. With stellar reviews, fresh investments, and unbeatable surroundings, Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks are riding the crest of a wave, one glowing review at a time.
