Would you like a holiday home in the most cheerful corner of the UK? Partington’s Holiday Parks has the key to your new happy place in 2026!
The charming market town of Skipton in the Yorkshire Dales has just been named as the UK’s happiest place to live and Tarn House Holiday Park is perfectly placed just one mile from the historic hideaway that’s packed with a unique blend of countryside calm, vibrant community spirit and an outstanding quality of life that all helped to secure the top spot!
The relaxing rural retreat from Partington’s Holiday Parks is already experiencing a surge in new ownership enquiries since the announcement from Rightmove, which awarded Skipton the crown in their recent national survey thanks to its unbeatable access to green spaces, welcoming local community, excellent everyday amenities and wealth of independent shops, markets and cafés, as well as being home to one of the most well-preserved medieval castles in England.
Skipton is also located at the gateway to the breathtaking Yorkshire Dales with its rolling hills and stunning natural landscape, perfect for those wanting to follow in the famous footsteps of fell walker Alfred Wainwright on the Coast to Coast trail, brave the caves of Gaping Gill and explore the waterfall wonders of Malham Cove or Gordale Scar and the beautiful Bolton Abbey.
A standout option for the discerning Tarn House buyer from the luxury lodges and deluxe caravans available is the award-winning Pemberton Rivendale lodge – a stunningly stylish holiday home that’s quickly become a favourite among prospective owners thanks to its bright, spacious living areas with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the home with natural light, luxurious furnishings and meticulous craftmanship.
Joint CEO of Partington’s Holiday Parks Ltd, Andrea Challis, said: “We’ve always known Skipton is special. There’s something incredibly uplifting about the breathtaking local landscape, the incredibly warm community and the peaceful pace of life here. Tarn House captures that spirit perfectly. It’s a tranquil retreat with amazing countryside views but still close enough to enjoy everything Skipton has to offer. It’s the kind of place where people can truly unwind, reconnect with nature and feel at home. Come and join us!”
Current holiday home owners at Tarn House echo this sentiment, with many describing the park as their ‘happy place’ and a welcome escape from the rigours of daily life. One long-standing owner added: “After a long week at work you turn onto the drive and calmness descends on you and you just relax. I feel so lucky to have a holiday home on such a beautiful park full of happy, friendly people. I love the nature walks, chilling on the decking and walking my dogs around the beautiful grounds.” Another said: “We feel so welcome every time we go. Getting to know the park staff and being able to make memories with our families and friends is one of the best things about Tarn House.” Others say they love “being surrounded by wildlife, peace and tranquillity and look forward to spending many happy years here.”
