Welcome to our awards page, where we celebrate the fantastic recognition that Clawford Lakes and our Apple and Grape restaurant have received in recent seasons. Every award reflects the care of our team, the beauty of our setting and the wonderful guests who choose to spend their time here in the Devon countryside.
Clawford Lakes is all about peaceful lakeside views, relaxed stays and time together in nature. The awards we have received are independent recognition that the resort delivers memorable breaks, excellent service and a warm welcome for every guest and every dog.
From regional tourism bodies to national travel partners, these honours show that Clawford Lakes stands out for the quality of its holidays, dining and guest experience.
Clawford Lakes has also enjoyed success at the South West Tourism Awards, one of the most respected award schemes in the region. At the ceremony at Sandy Park we were thrilled to receive:
This award recognises Clawford Lakes as one of the very best places to stay in the South West, celebrating our:
High quality accommodation across the resort
Range of on site facilities for relaxation, adventure and family time
Focus on guest service from arrival to departure
Dogs are a big part of family life for many of our guests, so being named Dog Friendly Business of the Year is especially meaningful. This award highlights:
Dog friendly accommodation options and welcome touches
Space to walk and explore the resort with your four legged friend
A genuine welcome from the team for dogs as well as their owners
To be crowned Winner of Winners at the same ceremony was an unforgettable moment for everyone at Clawford Lakes. This prestigious title is given only to businesses that shine across multiple categories, reflecting consistent excellence in every area of the guest experience.
For our team, it represents the hard work, dedication and passion poured into every stay, every meal, every welcome and every moment guests spend with us. For our visitors, it is a reassuring sign that Clawford Lakes continues to lead the way in creating outstanding breaks that feel special from the moment you arrive.
Being recognised at this level inspires us to keep raising the bar and delivering experiences that guests will remember long after their holiday ends.
At the recent Hoseasons awards, Clawford Lakes was honoured as Large Holiday Park of the Year for our region. This recognition celebrates our:
Beautiful lakeside setting with a choice of accommodation, from apartments and lodges to unique stays
Excellent facilities across the resort including spa, indoor pool and Apple and Grape restaurant
Commitment to service from every member of the team, from reception to housekeeping, maintenance and activities
It is a fantastic endorsement from one of the leading names in UK holidays and a real vote of confidence in the Clawford Lakes experience.
The Apple and Grape at Clawford Lakes also received the Customer Choice Food Award. This special honour is based on genuine guest feedback and celebrates:
Great quality food using local produce where possible
A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere for couples, families and groups
Friendly, attentive service that helps turn a meal into part of the holiday memories
We are proud that so many guests took the time to share their comments and delighted that those voices helped the Apple and Grape gain this recognition.
Every award is the result of two very important groups of people.
Our guests, who choose to stay with us, share their feedback and recommend us to friends and family
Our incredible team, who put care and energy into every arrival, every meal and every stay
We are deeply grateful to both. These awards belong to all of you.
If you have already stayed with us, we hope these awards confirm what you experienced beside the lakes. If you are discovering Clawford Lakes for the first time, they are a reassuring sign that your next break is in very safe hands.
