  • Peaceful, family-friendly holiday park in the hills of Dumfries
  • Dumfries, Moffat, castles and cycle routes within an hour's drive
  • Bar and bistro, forest walks and private fjord 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 relaxing 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 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 holiday 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 rumbling, saunter over to the Lakeside Tavern & Restaurant for a bite to eat and a couple of drinks, as well as a few nights’ evening entertainment. The Lakeside 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 head into Moffat or Dumfries to dine at one of the restaurants.

What customers say

This site boasts friendly staff, a good pub with entertainment, and lovely surrounding views and walks. Its location is convenient for local attractions. However, significant issues were reported regarding temporary toilet and shower facilities, with some found to be unclean and inadequately maintained. Several guests experienced problems with pitch conditions, including slopes and uncut grass. While the site shows potential under new management, significant improvements are needed to address the reported facility and maintenance concerns.

Olivia R.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Absolutely loved our stay - very concerned after reading reviews but could not fault the staff or facilities!

There are temporary facilities while maintenance is ongoing with main wc block but they were cleaned regularly and very much up to standard.

Staff helped immediately when we needed help with pitching up as the site is a little unlevel but provided blocks for us to help level out our caravan on the pitch.

Electric was also good no issues at all there. The entertainment was great although the bar wasn’t busy.

The price for our stay in the school holidays was incredibly low! Couldn’t fault the cost for what we experienced on our four day stay!

Disliked There was nothing we disliked while staying here. Prices at the bar were a little higher than expected but seeing how quiet it was in the middle of the school holidays where you would expect it to be really busy was maybe the reason for that.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Site was spacious

Disliked Went to use the toilet and they were both covered in poo, only one toilet had toilet roll , we arrived on the 20th July and the last time they were cleaned and signed off was the 18th, the shower cubicles were both filthy, these issues were raised with management, we planned a two night stay but decided one night was enough for my wife and I.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Very friendly staff and a quiet site even though there were families.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Pleasant site walkable distance to Moffat

Disliked Pitch site was not clear. The grass had been cut and the ladies showers were covered in it to the point that one shower drain was blocked and it was all over the floor. No one had checked them that day but had a broom in the showers would have helped as I would swept it up.

Liked The pub was good with good atmosphere, enjoyed the bingo, quiz and karaoke.
Showers were clean enough.
Views around were nice and quiet on site.

Disliked Grass had just been cut and where our pitch was and was quite messy as clumps of grass were left all around.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Reception and staff, excellent.
The Tavern and staff, excellent.

Disliked Absolutely everything else.
We was booked in for 2 nights but left after 1 night. The pitch was on a slope. Rabbit holes and rabbits everywhere. The toilet block was just acceptable but was a shambles as idiots had decided to make it a tip. It doesn't look anything like the photos on Pitchup. Would and could not recommend this site. We couldn't wait to leave.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Nothing

Disliked The service from the maintenance guy who left the bar staff to try and get our electrics working with no success so we had no electric hook up for the two nights we were there nobody came to see how we were we were put right at the top of a hill when there were spaces near the facilities also we were made to feel like it was the caravan that was faulty when it wasn’t we were offered to relocate but it was late and we were already set up and it was a nightmare to get there with the sat nav

Local attractions

You could easily spend your entire break 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, which houses 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.
