  • 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 offers friendly and helpful staff, with a pleasant park and lovely walks around the lake. Guests appreciate the good value and proximity to Moffat. However, current renovations mean temporary toilet and shower facilities, which some found inadequate or poorly maintained, leading to cleanliness issues. Pitches can be sloped, and some guests experienced problems with electric hook-ups or noted a general lack of upkeep in certain areas. The site has potential with ongoing improvements.

Please don't take my dislikes as a negative not to try this place, we will return I just think I few little things put into place would make it alot better

Disliked Your on a hill, The toilets and showers are in portacabins and didn't get cleaned in the 2 days we were there, maybe cleaners don't work weekends not sure but we didn't shower until we got home and used our caravan toilet also the bin in the bin shed was overflowing and rubbish sat all around the ground but that's because people didn't see the other bins round the corner, signs would've prevented that

Electric grass pitch

Liked Nice & quiet site, great for the kids. We had a nice pleasant stay

Disliked Grass pitches are very uneven and on a hill not the greatest but it was okay.
The toilet were ok at times, if people cleaned up after them selfs it wouldn’t be so bad, I wouldn’t say it was the parks fault.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely well kept park. Receptionist was very helpful and lovely manner. Could jot find pitch and she organised for maintenance to show me where to go.

Disliked I believe site just taken over so possibly plans in place. Missing a trick with backseat bar but chef now there do hopefully changes. Need better signage for pitches.
Tickets need checked more regularly. Bit messy and no loo roll.. Discovered the EHU was not working till day too. Slightly annoying.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The site has it's own lake and is a very peaceful walk around it , the staff are very friendly. And the bar is a nice little place to have a drink. The site it self is quite hilly though.

Disliked They are revamping the shower, toilet block, so they have got a porta cabin which is ok apart from it's not being serviced regularly. So a lot of times it is out of toilet paper and generally in a mess , not pleasant at all.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The staff, the site generally and the location. Good sized pitch well maintained. Lakeside pub friendly and reasonably priced.

Disliked The porta cabin showers and toilets were clean but I can't imagine them being adequate when it's busy. Only one washing up sink.

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.
