A County Durham holiday spot has been named one of the best in the UK after wowing judges at TripAdvisor. 

Crimdon Dene Holiday Park in County Durham has come out on top after earning a prestigious TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award for the second consecutive year.

The holiday park, which is owned by Parkdean Resorts, is one of two that they own that have been highlighted as the top in the UK after Cresswell Towers in Northumberland was also recognised by TripAdvisor.

The TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards recognise businesses that earn consistently great reviews, and honour select accommodations, attractions and restaurants in the top 10 per cent of listings which consistently demonstrate a commitment to hospitality excellence.

Parkdean Resorts is the UK’s leading holiday park operator, and 2024 marks the company’s best ever performance in the awards, with a total of 23 of its holiday parks receiving awards from the world’s largest travel guidance platform.
