Thistle Holiday Home Parks in Scotland

Thistle Holiday Home Parks are among the best caravan parks in Scotland.  They have holiday homes for hire - caravans built to a high specification, well maintained and fully equipped for self-catering, ideal for an autumn break.   Some  parks also have lodges and most of them take touring caravans and motorhomes - check their entries on this website for information.   There are almost 60 Thistle Parks in Scotland. Several have a restaurant and bar and some have indoor leisure facilities. All have safe space for the kids to play. Some parks welcome pets;  look for the dog symbol on the park entries. Some parks are small and quiet, so opt for them if you want a quiet break before the winter.

Thistle Holiday Home caravans are on parks awarded 4 or 5 stars by VisitScotland.  This year the new guidelines were introduced for the grading scheme which means that every park was rigorously checked to ensure that they more than earned their stars.  The caravans have to be of a high standard  to gain a Thistle.  They have two or three bedrooms (usually one double and two twins, perhaps one en suite) and are connected to mains electricity, water and drainage.
