Battle for Tourism Oscars

Nostell Priory Holiday Park

Following a record breaking number of entries to the White Rose Awards, Welcome to Yorkshire has today revealed which tourism businesses will battle it out for the most prestigious tourism awards in the UK.

The eagerly awaited list boasts 90 of Yorkshire’s best attractions, hotels, venues and individuals from the tourism industry. The list covers 16 categories (*categories and finalists listed at end), the winners from which will be announced at a glittering gala awards ceremony on the evening of 4^th October at the Yorkshire Event Centre based at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate.

Tickets for the White Rose Awards are being snapped up and the 90 finalists will be on the edge of their seats as the winners are announced in front of an estimated 1,000 guests.

Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said:

“The quality of this year’s White Rose Awards entries is so incredibly high we had no choice but to increase the number of those shortlisted. This clearly demonstrates that the Yorkshire tourism industry has really stepped up its game in terms of quality and presence, both of which are vital if we are to achieve our aims to be the UK’s best.”

The award categories range from Best Visitor Experience of the Year and the Access for All Tourism Award to the Sustainable Tourism Award and Business Tourism Award. Nostell Priory is nominated for the Caravan Holiday Park and Holiday Village Award. There is also a new category, Visitor Information Award, announced for 2010.

Previous winners have included: The Feversham Arms Hotel & Verbena Spa, Helmsley; Swinton Park, Masham; The Railway Children produced by York Theatre Royal and performed at The National Railway Museum; Sheffield City Hall, Sheffield; Residence 6, Leeds; The Yorkshire Waterways Museum, Goole, and Green’s Restaurant, Whitby.

Judging is undertaken by a panel of independent judges and as in previous years this has been no easy task. Independent Chair of Judges, Barbara Woroncow OBE, complimented the standard of 2010’s finalists:

“It is never easy to create a shortlist when the overall quality of submissions is of such an excellent standard. What is certain is that the finalist list really does represent some of our very best tourism attractions across the county, accommodation and experiences, from glamping to castles and mazes.”

All winners from the national categories are automatically entered into the national Enjoy England Awards for Excellence 2010.

Blue Sky Resorts, the Wakefield-based leisure company, has completed a £75,000 upgrade of Spring Willows Leisure Park, at Staxton, near Scarborough, which it acquired in 2009.

Ian Clark, General Manager at Spring Willows, said the upgrade included the construction of five new bases for holiday homes and the installation of improved site infrastructure, such as power points for touring caravans and better lighting.

The new bases, which have been constructed using environment-friendly materials with zero ph values, bring the number of fully-serviced stands for static caravans/ holiday homes on the 40-acre park to 61.  There are also facilities for 64 touring vans, as well as another 20 unserviced pitches for casual users.

Mr Clark commented: “The upgrade is the first stage in our development programme aimed at bringing the park up to the same five-star standard as Blue Sky Resorts’ other sites, and to make it more ecologically-friendly.  Our aim is for Spring Willows to win a David Bellamy Gold Award.”

Spring Willows boasts a range of comfortable luxury holiday homes for you to choose from. There’s no compromise on quality, each model is beautifully fitted and furnished and provides all the space you need to enjoy weekends, holidays, or longer stays.

Nostell Priory Holiday Park, situated within the ancient woodlands of the 200 acre Nostell Priory Estate, has again been recognised by the Yorkshire Tourism Authorities for its high standards and exceptional service.

The annual White Rose Awards organised by Yorkshire Tourism are regarded as the “Oscar’s” of the tourism industry in the area and recognise those business that provide exceptional standards of service and presentation. Nostell has now been a finalist in 4 of the last 5 years, recognition of the parks commitment and consistency in providing a memorable holiday experience for its guests.

Nostell Priory Holiday Park

The park is home to 84 caravan holiday home owners who enjoy holiday breaks as often as they like during the parks long season which has just been extended to 11 months of the year. Existing happily alongside these regular visitors who bring £000′s into the local economy each year are the 60 touring pitches which attract visitors from far and wide.

Many families come to Nostell because they are keen to enjoy a lifetime of holidays in the own caravan holiday home and are looking for Yorkshire caravans for sale which the park has a wide selection of. The fact that the park has now been recognised for this prestigious accolade for a 4th year is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team at the park who all enjoy a fantastic sense of achievement from working on the park.

John Conlon, General Manager of the park says: “coming to work in such a beautiful place is a pleasure. The whole team works exceptionally hard to provide our customers with the best possible experience while they are on the park. The many, well attended owner events that we hold during the season, show just how much our customers enjoy being part of this special place.”

An East Yorkshire Caravan Park has become the latest acquisition of Wakefield based Blue Sky Resorts

Spring Willows Caravan Park, just off the Staxton Roundabout on the outskirts of Filey & Scarborough, has just become part of the Blue SKy family and offers a fantastic, family friendly environment with great access to all that the Yorkshire Coast has to offer.

The park used to be a touring only park but has in the last few years developed into a mixed holiday park with space for static caravans, touring caravans, and even a few tents. Holiday home owners at Spring Willows enjoy a lovely family friendly club with seasonal entertainment, as well as a pool and adventure play ground for the kids.

Blue Sky Resorts, which also operates parks in Wakefield, West Yorkshire and Hexham, Northumberland strives to offer customers a five star holiday experience at all its parks and has built a reputation for excellent customer service and five star park presentation standards.

Spring Willows Caravan Park

Mark Alston, Director of Blue Sky Resorts: “We’re very excited about the acquisition of Spring Willows. We aim to improve the already high standards on the park even further, adding value for our customers, and developing Spring Willows standards so that it becomes regarded as the best park in Yorkshire – it’ll face stiff competition from Nostell Priory though! We see Spring Willows as fitting perfectly into our existing small group – it is a small park where we can improve the standards, provide exceptional, personalised customer service, and which is small enough to offer our customers a unique, select environment in which to spend their leisure time.

“We already knew the park very well, having assisted the Spring Willows management over the last 3 years in developing their static caravan sales. It’s a great place to be, especially if you are looking for a safe, secure, friendly family park and we’re looking forward to developing the park over the coming years.”

Spring Willows has just over 50 static caravan plots, alongside 60 touring pitches. You can contact the park direct on (01944) 711938 or email ian.springwillows@bluesky-resorts.co.uk.

Nostell Priory Holiday Park held it’s annual Easter Bonnet Parade and Egg Hunt this weekend and had a record turn out.

Park manager, John Conlon explains, “We started with the Egg Hunt whereby we hid 20 decorated hard boiled eggs (The eggs were decorated as Julie has not yet got the knack of being able to boil eggs!!) We also put plasters on all the burnt eggs, and anyone returning an egg with a plaster on got an extra Cadburys cream egg! It was great fun!

“One egg in particular was disguised as HULK HOGAN (this was Julies worst attempt at boiling eggs!). The finder of this sorry looking egg also received an extra prize of a normal size Easter egg.”

All the eggs were accounted for and Julie took them home for some cooking practice!!

“The Easter bonnet parade was the best we have ever had at Nostell with 16 child entrants and 2 adults. There were three Independent Judges, 2 of which were members of Marks family (which meant that poor Molly could not be picked as a winner!)

The third judge was enjoying a relaxing time in her touring caravan before the promise of a Cadbury’s cream egg and the chance to be like Simon Cowell persuaded her to become the third judge!

We took advantage and halted proceedings to introduce Geoff (our resident Sales Advisor) to all the Mums and Dads and opened up our stock for a leisurely tour.  This created lots of interest as people discovered how nice the new style caravan holiday homes were.

Nostell Priory Play Area

The park is set in a wonderful natural setting of the ancient woodland that forms part of the Nostell Priory Estate. Managed by the Nation Trust the Estate attracts visitors from all over the country and beyond. The caravan park has proven very popular for people who are looking for a peaceful, relaxing retreat and want to buy a static caravan in Yorkshire.
