Sun £9.50 holidays

[millerkev]

Can anyone spread any light on a decent park from the list of parks available from the sun`s £9.50 holidays

i have done cornwall to death and also the east coast along with n wales a couple of times ..i am thinking i would like to try scotland ,,but have never heard of any of the sites,nor any local attractions to visit

any advice greatly received :-))

I just had a look at the ones for North scotland (what I know most about) and any of them look fab. Nairn is a bit run down but good for grampian (think baxters factory and whisky ) and then you can come and visit ME and like it says not far from inverness...

Personally I'd go for the dornoch one www.ukholidaysinthesun.co.uk/cgi-bin/UKHS_park_0003.cgi?copy=1090&promo=SUNSUM13&sort=A&showall=Y

Dingwall (nearby) has this cracking charity shop run by the community (green something or other) which is just fab and inverness is very close by and it's beautiful...or try the pitlochry one though pitlochry is a bit over done on the tourist thing (nairn isn't...inverness is but still nice)...

I have no idea about southern scotland - sorry

thanx johanino :-)
didnt plan on a journey that far north
must admit i have never been to scotland ..other than day trip thru work to glasgow
i know very very very little about the place and its hidden treasures
i would very much like to come and see them tho thats for sure
the sun hols are only short and wouldnt warrant that sorta distance ,,think a 2 weeks holiday would better suit
my lad as been in pots (both feet ) for some time now and is very shortly due to get some fitted splints
until we know how mobile he is going to be ,,we are not sure what sort of holiday we will take
f..k a duck just done route planner ..just a mere 450 miles :-))
can u meet half way hahaha

Mine is only 394 miles each way this year Kev, will only take, well it says 6.5 hrs but no doubt will be about 8, we will leave early. So get driving kev it's not that far

Have to say, the Dornoch site is lovely, but a bit of a treck for a short break!

Is Stanwick Park at Silloth an option? It's a fab site, pool doesn't close until 9.00pm and there's 10 pin bowling. Not much in Silloth, nice beaches though and Scottish Borders and the Lake District and Carlisle are nearby!

Northern Scotland as nice as I'm sure it is doesn't warrant a 4 day break
So after a chat with the gaffer ( thats what she likes to call herself )
We're both in opinion that Scotland is on our wish list
So it's looking very much like a trial run to southerness for a short break
North Scotland is still on the to do list :-)))
Thanks for your input :-)) much appreciated

There's nothing at Southerness and the caravan site is huge.  Fine if that rocks your boat  Not one that I'd return to!

There's not as much choice there as usual

The one I linked to above stanwix is in the North of England, Cumbria, very close to Scotland

Seton Sands is near Edinburgh, I've never been to that one before but have a sneaky weekend booked there in July. I'll be happy so long as I can walk my dog on the beach.

There's not much at Eyemouth, it has a nice wee harbour though and is in the picturesque Scottish Borders and only a stone throw from Northumberland which has a lovely coast line. Not too far from Alnwick which has the caste that Harry Potter was filmed at.

Can't be of any more help, sorry
