Popular destinations such as Butlins and Pontins have been named among the UK’s worst holiday parks, according to new research.
A new survey by consumer organisation Which? found that big name holiday parks fared worse than smaller brands such as Potters Resorts, which was named best in the UK.
Meanwhile, the best holiday park in Scotland belongs to Forest Holidays which has three locations in Argyll, Peebles and Stirling.
More than 1,700 consumers were asked to rate their visits to holiday parks on factors such as price per night, value for money and more. Potters Resorts, the best performing brand, scored 87% while Pontins, the worst performing brand, was given just 56%.
