 Thistle Holiday Home Parks
in Scotland
Are you planning your holidays in 2010? Perhaps not tried a holiday home caravan but keen to join the trend of enjoying self-catering with facilities nearby? Thistle Parks provide just that - somewhere to enjoy time with the family, to explore the countryside , to enjoy a walk, knowing that you can return to a home from home each evening. Thistle Parks offer short breaks as well and some Thistle are open right now and their double-glazed, fully heated holiday home caravans offer a cosy retreat after a brisk walk. Several parks also have a restaurant and a bar and indoor leisure facilities.
Thistle Holiday Home caravans are top-quality static caravans on caravan parks which have been graded 4 or 5 stars by VisitScotland. The parks are of a top-class quality and the caravans have to fulfill certain criteria before being awarded the coveted VisitScotland ‘Thistle’. You'll find photographs of the caravans on the Holiday Homes' page.
The caravans have all the benefits of self-catering in the countryside or by the beach, as well as facilities either on or near the park – a shop and a restaurant, space for children to play safely, a games room, and perhaps even a swimming pool or other leisure facilities, as well as entertainment for the whole family.
Things to do: Near the park may be a sandy beach or way-marked paths for walks and cycling – ideal for you and the family to enjoy time together this year. And wherever you are in Scotland, even in the winter, you will find places to visit, such as Historic Scotland's castles and abbeys (throughout the year) and the houses and gardens in the care of the National Trust for Scotland (spring-autumn). Ask the park of your choice what's open nearby. Or call VisitScotland on 0845 22 55 121 or visit www.visitscotland.com for information.
Some Thistle Parks are ideal for family holidays with plenty to do on-site, whilst other parks are smaller and just right for a quiet break. Some welcome pets so if you are planning to take the dog with you, look for parks on this website which have the dog symbol. Most of the parks offer short breaks of 3 or 4 nights.
There are sixty-four Thistle Holiday Home Parks in Scotland. All the Thistle Parks have been awarded 4 or 5 stars by VisitScotland, the national tourist board, and are visited every year by a VisitScotland Quality Advisor.
