  • Family-run holiday park at St Cyrus, just off the A92 in Angus
  • St Cyrus Beach 15 minutes’ walk; Dunnottar Castle 20 minutes’ drive
  • Well-maintained site; playground, shop and pub within 10 minutes’ walk
Venturing north to drive the North Coast 500 or staying around to explore more of the Angus region? Either way, family-run (and friendly) Ecclesgreig Holiday Park makes a handy base for short stops or longer getaways. It’s set in the small coastal village of St Cyrus between Aberdeen and Dundee (both about 45 minutes’ drive), with easy access to the main north-south A92. If you’re staying around for a while, you’ll have time to find the sandy beaches just 15 minutes’ walk away, and follow the wildlife walks starting right from the pitches. You can also keep the kids occupied at the Lochside Playpark (10 minutes’ walk), where there’s a bowling green and astroturf pitch for ball games as well as climbing frames. There’s a small essentials shop in St Cyrus, which also has a popular pub (10 minutes), where you can grab a pint and a bite, or they’ll also deliver your favourite takeaway if you don’t want to stir from your pitch. For bigger shopping expeditions, seaside Montrose (15 minutes’ drive) has several large supermarkets as well as numerous cafés, pubs and restaurants.

Graham H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass and gravel site

Liked: Good hard standing pitch and walking area for the dog. Very welcoming and friendly

Disliked: First visit to a site that is going through a transition/expansion. It really is a site for big holiday caravans with a handful of touring pitches as a bit of an add on. Where the touring pitches are is on the edge of a large field that is being developed to accommodate a few dozen residential vans over the next couple of years. The electric hookup point is in the middle of a very muddy area which has to be negotiated. I would suggest some planks for folk to walk on until it is grassed. £35 is pricey for low season and no wifi. Clean toilet block but have to say the showers are very poor with a weak flow of water

Liked: Smashing site with very large tent pitches 9 and 10, well kept and very clean. It is in the process of a refurb with lots of new caravans and pods. Staff were friendly and the owner goes above and beyond to make sure all his visitors are being looked after.

Disliked: Couldn't find fault with anything.

Powered grass and gravel site

Liked: Liked the layout of the park. Friendly staff and residents, all made us feel very welcome. My parents even got an upgrade to a hard standing pitch as when I booked only 1 grass pitch was showing available. Amazing wee play park for the kids and the bigger boys amazed there were goals and he was able to play football. Us adults loved the hut where we made breakfast every morning and enjoyed a fire pit n drinks in the evening.

Disliked: The toilet block, showers not the cleanest but overall ok

Local attractions

St Cyrus National Nature Reserve (15 minutes’ walk) is a smashing spot for (hopefully) spotting skylarks and rare peregrine falcons, paddling in the North Sea and following trails through ever-shifting sand dunes. If you’re keen to see more birds, it’s a short hop to the Montrose Basin Visitor Centre (15 minutes’ drive) for the chance to spy pink-footed geese and kingfishers; there’s another sandy beach close by for summer swims. If the kids are not keen on getting in the sea, there’s an outdoor pool at Stonehaven (25 minutes), and if the weather turns bad, there’s a century’s worth of planes to be seen in hangars at Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre (10 minutes). Wait until the skies are clear before you visit legendary Dunnottar Castle (20 minutes), as its dramatic setting high on sea cliffs means it closes when it’s windy. An alternative is the 18th-century House of Dun (15 minutes), where you can learn about local life in the folk museum and tour ornate rooms and formal gardens. And Fettercairn Distillery (20 minutes) is open for tours and tasting, so you can pick up single malt as a Scottish souvenir.
