Meadow Springs service manager Clive Bowen said: “It's always special to be recognised again in the Pitch Up Review Awards because they are based on reviews by visitors staying with us on the park.
“Our visitors help us to further develop the park, including our indoor pool and spa complex, due to complete in late 2027 and our solar farm, which will begin producing clean electric within the next few months. With our water being supplied by our own underground springs, we aim to make the park as sustainable as possible.”
