Resort named UK's best site for families

A luxury £6.5 million caravanning and glamping resort in Shropshire has added another award to its list of accolades. 

Readers of Practical Caravan and Practical Motorhome magazines have voted the Love2Stay at Shrewsbury the UK’s best site for families. 

The accolade follows the BIOTOP Frogking 2017 award for natural swimming pools and the Business providing Activities for Young People award at the Shropshire Businesses for Children Awards. 

Lizzie Pope, Practical Caravan’s digital editor, said it was a “wonderful achievement” by Love2Stay to win the 'Best Site for Families' accolade considering the resort had only opened last May. 

“Set in 22 acres, its website claims that it ‘really has it all’ and, having stayed there ourselves and read the reviews you submitted when voting for our Top 100 Sites Guide, we can't disagree,” she said. 

Love2Stay, which has been developed by Salop Leisure to raise the bar for quality UK holidays, has 124 touring caravan pitches and a village of 11 luxury glamping lodges on a 22-acre site with panoramic views across to Wales and the Shropshire Hills. 

Centrepiece of the resort is a natural, chemical-free swimming pool designed and built by Hereford-based Poolscape Ltd in collaboration with multiple RHS Gold Medal winning landscape designer Owen Morgan from MOSAIC. 

Up to 12 different activities a day are arranged for children, ranging from paddle-boarding, kayaking, raft building to bush-craft skills. The resort’s ‘back to nature’ ethos has been embraced by parents eager to spend quality time with their children.
