Comedian Paddy McGuinness has presented an award for top family fun to a holiday park near Budleigh Salterton.

Ladram Bay Holiday Park, this year celebrating its 75th anniversary, received the Hoseasons Diamond Award for family fun in the Devon, Somerset and Dorset region.

Ladram Bay was announced overall UK winner of the Customer Choice Food award at the same event.

Both awards were the result of the number of customer satisfaction ratings received by Hoseasons from visiting families across the company’s parks.

Ladram Bay, owned by the Carter family since 1943, has won the family fun trophy for eight consecutive years.

A spokesman said the holiday park had ‘finished its 75th anniversary year on a high after being declared the west country’s top destination for kids and adults’.

The spokesman said: “Both awards are based on the volume of customer satisfaction ratings received by Hoseasons from families who have stayed on the hundreds of parks with which they deal.”
