Welcome to Thistle Holiday Home Parks

Thistle Holiday Homes are top-quality caravan holiday homes on 4- or 5-star award-winning caravan parks. The holiday homes have to fulfil certain criteria before being awarded the coveted VisitScotland ‘Thistle’. They offer all the benefits of self-catering but with facilities close to hand either on or near the park – a shop and a restaurant, space for the children to play safely, a games room, perhaps even a swimming pool or other leisure facilities.

Nearby may be a sandy beach or walking and cycling trails – ideal for you and the family to get out and about, whether building sandcastles on the beach or for an afternoon walk. And, of course, wherever you are in Scotland, not too far away will be castles and gardens, historic houses and heritage museums, country parks and distilleries. Thistle Parks are ideal for family holidays (some have entertainment especially for children) and some welcome pets.

There are almost seventy Thistle Holiday Home Parks in Scotland. Some are quite small and ideal for a peaceful break away from your busy everyday life, whilst others are bigger, with leisure facilities for children and adults to enjoy. Often the locations are stunning, with views of the mountains, the sea or a loch.

All the Thistle Parks have been awarded 4 or 5 stars by VisitScotland, the national tourist board, and are inspected every year by a VisitScotland Quality Advisor.
