Wayside Holiday Park shines with AA award

A Yorkshire holiday park has earned recognition for its exceptional guest experience.

Wayside Holiday Park, near Pickering in the village of Wrelton, has been awarded a Four-Star rating by the AA’s Hotel and Hospitality Services team. 

The accolade comes with an impressive merit score of 90 per cent, reflecting the park’s high standards in accommodation, facilities and customer service.

Salvatore Scotti, who inspected Wayside on behalf of the AA, said: “It was a pleasure to return to Wayside Holiday Park to verify that standards of maintenance and cleanliness were consistent with Quality Standards requirements and to update our records to reflect any changes to the property since the last inspection.

“The site remains very well maintained, with mature greenery and well-kept grounds. 

“Both The Lakes and the Low Meadows remain in very good order with no maintenance issues noted and paths in very good order, as well as flower beds, laws and grounds. 

“The new addition, the Water Gardens, has been completed on a par with The Lakes.

“I am delighted to reconfirm a Four Star rating with an increased AA Merit Score of 90 per cent and a Holiday Home designator.”

With its scenic location and outstanding facilities, the park is cementing its reputation as a standout destination for holidaymakers.

Mark Goodson, the owner of Wayside, added: “It is a privilege to receive such an accolade from the AA and an endorsement of everything that I, and my colleague and co-director Trevor Jones, have tried to achieve here at Wayside. 

“It’s been a labour of love – hard work at times, but extremely enjoyable.

“I was especially delighted that the AA report highlighted our relatively new £250,000 Water Gardens development, which features 13 pitches for luxury caravans and lodges in the centre of the park, and gave us a very high merit score of 90 per cent.

“For those who don’t know Wayside, it is a haven of tranquillity and beauty in the North York Moors National Park. 

“We are within easy reach of Yorkshire’s breath-taking coastline, historic market towns, world-class heritage and mile upon mile of superb walking country.”
