Ord House Country Park near Berwick, operated by Maguires Country Parks, has been named Best Site Open All Year in the Top 100 Sites Guide 2026 published by Practical Caravan. The recognition is included in issue 503 of the magazine, which is available now.
The park is located in East Ord, Northumberland, and is set within a woodland environment with access to the nearby coastline and surrounding countryside. It operates year-round, positioning it within a segment of the outdoor hospitality market that caters to extended touring seasons and off-peak travel demand.
The award highlights consistent operational standards across the site, including maintenance of grounds, provision of facilities, and overall guest experience.
According to the Northumberland Gazette, Ord House Country Park is also described as dog-friendly and offers a combination of touring pitches and on-site amenities designed to support stays throughout the year. Its positioning appeals to visitors seeking flexibility in travel timing, as well as those preferring quieter periods outside peak holiday months.
In addition to touring accommodation, the park offers holiday home ownership opportunities, contributing to a mixed-use model that combines short-stay tourism with longer-term ownership. This approach is increasingly used across parts of the caravan and holiday park sector to support occupancy stability and diversify revenue streams.
For operators in the outdoor hospitality industry, the recognition of year-round parks in guides such as Practical Caravan’s Top 100 Sites underscores the importance of maintaining service levels across all seasons.
It also reflects ongoing demand for destinations that can remain operational outside traditional peak periods, which often requires sustained investment in staffing, infrastructure resilience, and guest services during lower occupancy months.
Gilbert Maguire, director of Maguires Country Parks, commented on the recognition: “We’re really pleased to see Ord House recognised in the Top 100 Sites Guide 2026. It’s a credit to the team on park who work hard to keep standards high all year round.
“Being named Best Site Open All Year means a lot as it reflects what we aim to offer our guests – a quality experience whenever they choose to visit.”
The recognition positions Ord House Country Park among notable year-round sites in the 2026 guide, which continues to serve as a reference point for touring and caravan holiday consumers assessing destinations across the UK.
