Powys holiday park hailed after being named best in Wales
An award winning leisure park in Powys received praise by Montgomeryshire MS Russell George as part of Wales Tourism Week. The Montgomeryshire Senedd Member visited Meadow Springs Country & Leisure Park, a touring and holiday home park in Trefeglwys to congratulate the team on recent award wins as part of Wales Tourism Week celebrations. Opened in February 2022, the park is owned by Jonathan Williams and Lisa Hughes, and recently received the 'Best Caravan, Camping & Glamping' award at the National Tourism Awards for Wales. Clive Bowen, service manager at Meadow Springs Country & Leisure Park said: "At Meadow Springs, we're proud to offer a wide range of leisure facilities to suit all interests and ages. "Whether it's paddleboarding or kayaking on our crystal-clear spring water lake, casting a line in our private stretch of river, or letting the kids explore our adventure play area, there's something for everyone. Guests can also enjoy scenic walks or cycle along our all-weather paths through the park. 'And at the heart of it all is Arthur's Restaurant & Bar, where we serve hearty, home-cooked meals made with locally sourced ingredients in a relaxed, friendly setting. 'I'm glad we had the opportunity to show Russell around what we believe, is a unique selling point for mid Wales tourism." During his visit, Russell George toured the park's facilities, learning about the park's recent £4 million investment, and its future investment of £3 million in new spa facilities with a swimming pool, sauna and gym. He said: 'The exceptional transformation over the last couple of years of the Meadow Springs site highlights the extraordinary innovation that is taking place in mid Wales' tourism industry. "Meadow Springs offers incredible opportunities for visitors, contributing significantly to our local economy and showcases the best of what our area has to offer. 'They continue to invest in improving the site to make it a truly unique mid Wales experience. 'I congratulate Jonathan, Lisa, and service manager Clive Bowen and their team on winning the award for 'Best Caravan, Camping & Glamping' at the National Tourism Awards for Wales, this is a testament to their hard work. The team are not resting on their laurels and it was exciting to hear about their future plans which will only enhance their offer to visitors but also the local community.'
