Ruda Holiday Park at Croyde Bay in Devon was the best holiday in England we have ever been on.

The accommodation was excellent, the staff were helpful and the facilities were brilliant, along with a beach on the door step, it couldn't have been more perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend this holiday park to my friends, and for the first time ever we will be returning to the same destination next year, but for longer next time! Mrs S from Lincoln
