Center Parcs has also received other accolades this year, including its Aqua Sana Forest Spa being crowned Employer of the Year at the Professional Beauty UK Awards and Longford Forest being named Spa of the Year at the Ireland awards.
The company hosts around 2.3 million guests every year across its six UK and Ireland villages, with an average annual occupancy rate of 97 per cent and a 65 per cent return rate.
The company stays open all year round, with summer and Winter Wonderland breaks the most popular times to visit.
Ninety-five per cent of guests rate their breaks as excellent or good.
Colin Whaley, chief sales and marketing officer at the company, said: “To receive not one but two awards, within the travel industry, is extremely rewarding and reflective of the hard work our colleagues do across both our villages and head office.
“As a business, we are committed to helping families come together and create their own memorable family experiences on a short break with us.
“To be recognised for this – among so many great businesses – demonstrates how important our customer service, standards, and guest satisfaction are to us.
“I’m extremely proud of all our achievements, to create such an incredible place to stay and work.”
