What holiday park was voted to be the UK’s worst?

Transcript

00:00Pontyns has been voted the UK's worst holiday park for the 11th year in a row.

00:08So what did those surveyed say about the park?

00:11One reviewer who travelled to the Pontyns Somerset Pass in June called the place soul-destroying

00:16and said terrible accommodation, staff couldn't care less, poor food, lack of facilities,

00:22really run down, would never go back even if you paid me.

00:26A visitor to the Suffolk site called her stay a holiday to forget.

00:32Another guest said the resort was run down, saying every inch of the so-called holiday

00:37park is in need of updating or knocking down.

00:41Everything is old and tired.

00:43If Brits still wanted to visit areas of the UK for a staycation but wanted to save a bit

00:48of money, how could they go about doing so?

00:51One way to reduce the price is to do something more reasonable, maybe travel by train.

00:57For example, National Rail's two-for-one offer.

01:00For example, booking through the National Rail's day out website, you can get one adult

01:05ticket free to places like London Zoo and Alton Towers.

01:09Furthermore, some reward cards offer cheaper days out.

01:13For example, with Tesco's club card, credits can be used towards saving money at Leeds

01:18Castle, Legoland London Eye and many more.

01:23If you're thinking of travelling in October, it's handy to consider that for the last two

01:27autumns the National Trust has offered families free visits to sites.

01:32In this vein, customers of Octopus Energy can also join its OctoPlus reward scheme,

01:38which seems customers able to redeem points for National Trust days out.

01:43This also applies to Starling Bank customers if they refer a friend.

01:50It's been reported that Puntins did not respond when asked for comment about Which's findings.
