Cofton Holiday Park is a 5-star, family-run holiday park located near Exeter, South Devon, and has been established for nearly 50 years. As part of a £3 million redevelopment project, Gutxi was engaged to redesign the front-of-house food and beverage areas, including a new holiday park bar, restaurant, café, gym, health club reception, and games room. Following the redesign of the ground and first-floor dining and leisure holiday park facilities, Gutxi was awarded the contract to build and fit out the scheme. Despite a tight schedule, the project was successfully delivered and has become extremely popular with holiday makers and day visitors from the local area – providing a significant boost to the business.
“gutxi has worked for Cofton as hospitality designers on our bar and leisure complex. We couldn’t be happier with the work that they have completed. As well as a revised layout and scheme, the functionality of the premises has been greatly improved. They would be an asset on any leisure or retail interior project and it doesn’t take much to realise that they know what they’re talking about when it comes to holiday park design!”
Chris Jeffreys, Director at Cofton Holiday Park
Design for South Devon Holiday Park
Being heavily involved with the development of the restaurant interior scheme lead us to easily transfer our knowledge of what the client wanted straight into naming the complex, branding the holiday park restaurants and bars, then menus and signage.
Working with a large family business can be fraught at times. Sometimes what seems like straightforward decision can be become the focus of a lot of emotional tension. The commitment and vision to make this project happen is down to the family working together through thick and thin. I would like to think we matched this in some way by always doing our best to make the project work, whether that meant making the extra site visit, staying longer or just keeping our heads down to achieve the end goal.
The new facilities we helped deliver for the Jeffery’s family has since played a major part in obtaining the following at the South Devon Tourism Awards:
Gold – Holiday Park of the Year
Gold – Holiday Village and Resort of the Year
