Our Story
From a bustling city to a wild landscape
A change of pace
Michael and Angela have owned and run Border Forest Holiday Park since 2004. However, the last wilderness in England was a far cry from what the grand-parents and great-grand-parents of seven were used to, having spent the previous 60 years living in London. Having seen the grand-children grow in to adults, it was time for a change of pace so Michael and Angela left the big city for the great outdoors, with little experience of running a holiday park or living so remotely.
The only way is up (north)!
Since the purchase of the park, Michael and Angela have overseen a huge overhaul of the facilities and an unprecedented numbers of bookings. With the focus on their dog friendly site and visitor satisfaction at the forefront of Mike and Angela's vision, the park has gone from strength to strength and now boasts “bijou style’ cottages to hire and lovely lodges available to buy.
The park has been awarded TripAdvisors certificate of excellence every year since 2014.
