Care for a hol among spectacular Scottish scenery... on a fably kitted out park with access to its own loch for fishing – and with its own swish inn and restaurant to keep you fully fuelled? Come and call upon family-run Castle Cary Holiday Park in Dumfries and Galloway.
Set a handy seven miles from Newton Stuart, Castle Cary is in splendid surrounds with royally fine views over the local woodland, fields and the estuary of the River Cree. It's centred around a 16th-century baronial castle, part of which has been restored as the Laird's Inn, a warm and cosy space of wooden beams, stone walls and open fires.
The inn's the place to retreat to after a day getting active around the site and in the local countryside: you can fish here or in river, sea or loch nearby; there's sailing, boating, horse riding and wild swimming all nearby, and an activity centre with Segway rides and zipwiring is within 15 minutes. Galloway Forest Park is 10 minutes' drive north.
Castle Cary has excellent amenities to go with its smartly-kept pitches, including a chalet building with showers, toilets, a disabled-access toilet, a baby changing room, a laundry room and sinks; guests also have access to a freezer pack service and a dishwashing area.
Facilities are most fine too, with two big heated pools, one indoor and one outdoors; a heated paddling pool, a playground; crazy golf, a games room with pool tables and video games, and – guaranteed to make the kids go gaga – a donkey corner to greet the site's four-legged residents.
The inn has a large terrace among yet more spectacular views, and does hot food takeaways alongside its sit-in menu.

Local attractions
Dumfries and Galloway is stuffed with activities and attractions for all ages and tastes. To access a good amount of these at once, drive 20 minutes to the activity and adventure centre of Cream o' Galloway, where there's a woodland playground, rides and slides, nature trails and indoor play.
Also with easy reach is the activity centre of Laggan Outdoor, with zipwiring, archery, scooter and Segway rides, zorbing and... human slingshotting, if you dare. Further afield at Loch Ken there's Galloway Activity Centre, for watersports, mountain biking and climbing.
Keep the kids sweet at the Cocoabean Company (20 minutes), where they can get stuck into interactive workshops and indoor and outdoor play: yes, there's a chocolate shop here too.
