A Yorkshire-based family-owned holiday business has announced that all five of its parks and holiday accommodation operations have received the 2025 Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award, a recognition given to properties that rank among the top 10% of listings worldwide on the travel review platform.
The award was presented to Crows Nest Caravan Park, Lebberston Caravan Park, Jasmine Caravan Park, High Oaks Grange, and Robin Hood Caravan Park based on guest reviews and ratings submitted to Tripadvisor over the past 12 months.
Among the recognized properties are two businesses located in Ryedale, North Yorkshire. High Oaks Grange, situated near Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale, offers self-catering holiday accommodations and serves visitors exploring the North York Moors National Park, Dalby Forest, and the Yorkshire coast. Robin Hood Caravan Park, located in Slingsby, accommodates both holiday home owners and visiting guests to the area.
The Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award is awarded annually to accommodations, attractions, and hospitality businesses that maintain strong guest satisfaction scores and consistently positive reviews over a one-year period. The recognition is based on feedback submitted directly by travelers and reflects guest experiences during the qualifying period.
Nick Palmer, director of the business, told the Gazette & Herald: “We are absolutely delighted that every one of our parks and holiday accommodation businesses has received the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award. As a family-owned business with High Oaks Grange and Robin Hood Caravan Park both here in Ryedale, this recognition means a great deal to us.
“To have our Ryedale businesses recognised alongside Crows Nest Caravan Park, Lebberston Caravan Park and Jasmine Caravan Park is a fantastic achievement for our family and our teams.
“These awards are based on genuine guest feedback, so we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has stayed with us, left a review, recommended us to others or returned year after year. Their support is what makes this possible.
“Ryedale is a very special place to welcome guests, with Pickering, Thornton-le-Dale, Slingsby, Dalby Forest and the North York Moors all part of what makes this area so appealing. We are proud to play a part in the area’s tourism offering and to help bring visitors to this beautiful part of North Yorkshire.”
The recognition comes as online reviews continue to play an increasingly important role in traveler decision-making across the outdoor hospitality sector. For campground, caravan park, holiday park, RV resort, and glamping operators, awards based on verified guest feedback can serve as an indicator of customer satisfaction and operational consistency.
Industry professionals often monitor review trends to identify strengths and areas for improvement, while positive guest ratings can contribute to increased visibility on booking and travel platforms.
As competition for domestic and international tourism spending remains strong, maintaining high service standards and encouraging guest engagement through reviews have become important strategies for accommodation providers seeking to strengthen their market position.
The achievement by the Yorkshire-based group highlights the growing influence of guest-generated feedback in shaping the reputation and performance of outdoor hospitality businesses.
