General
- Peaceful family-friendly site in the hills of scenic Dumfries
- Borders towns, castles, biking routes and forest hikes within an hour
- Bar and bistro, woodland walks and private loch for fishing
When you think of Scotland, what leaps to mind? If you answered stunning scenery, spectacular lochs and Mel Gibson, well… two out of three ain’t bad. Settle in at Dumfries and Galloway's Moffat Manor Holiday Park, just outside the small village of Beattock and 10 minutes’ drive from the town of Moffat, for views, rambles and blissing out by the water.
This is a splendid spot for bikers of all sorts: if you like to stick to the roads, you can pedal along Route 74 from Beattock towards Gretna Green to join the famed Sea to Sea Cycle Cycle Route, or you can up the adrenaline with trips to two of the 7stanes mountain biking centres (Mabie and the Forest of Ae) for going-downhill-at-speed days.
You don’t need to go far for hol explores though: the site is on more than 80 acres of woodland, with loads of country walks along pretty streams and even a private loch for waterside strolls and a spot of fishing.
When your stomach starts complaining, saunter over to Alfred’s Bar and Bistro for a bite to eat and a couple of drinks, as well as a few nights’ evening entertainment. Alfred’s is only open from Wednesday to Sunday, so you’re on your own the rest of the week – fire up the barbecue if you fancy (an on-site shop has all the essentials and there’s a supermarket in Moffat), or admit defeat and head into Moffat or Dumfries to amble among the restaurants.

Local attractions
You could easily spend your entire hols on the site, but there’s so much nearby that you’d be missing. Stop number one should be the town of Dumfries, half an hour away – it was the home of famed national poet Rabbie Burns and there’s plenty around to honour the wordsmith, but the museum and Moat Brae (JM Barrie’s childhood home) are also worth a look.
Turn your wheels next to stunning Drumlanrig Castle (which TV addicts may recognise from the second season of Outlander) 45 minutes away, to wander the gardens or – if you’ve timed your visit well – tours and tea in the grand house itself, where you’ll find artwork from Sandby, Gainsborough and Rembrandt.
If you’re after a quickie wedding, it doesn’t get much quicker than a half-hour car journey down the A74 to Gretna Green, where 18th-century marriages were performed at the drop of a hat (or hammer, in the famous blacksmith’s shop). The village still does weddings, but they need a little bit more notice these days…
Craving a city day or two? The shops, museums, galleries and tourist spots of Glasgow and Edinburgh are between an hour and an hour and a half away.
Must see
- Robert Burns Centre (17.5 miles)
- World Famous Old Blacksmith's Shop Centre (25.8 miles)
- New Lanark Visitor Centre (28.5 miles)
