Holiday suggestions

The list below are venues other parents have suggested as meeting the needs of their families. All children are different; some love discos and noise, others prefer quiet, so we cannot guarantee that every venue will be right for you, but it may be somewhere to look for a break that you haven’t considered. 

• Auchenlarie Holiday Park: smaller and less well known park so tends to be quieter, but has a pool and is beside the beach: https://www.swalwellholidaygroup.co.uk/auchenlarie/ 

• Brunston Castle: pool and play area with Girvan beach nearby: https://www.landal.co.uk/parks/brunston#filter:eyJzIjoiMyJ9 

• Craig Tara, Ayr: this is a busy caravan park with a large pool and beach access. One family have adapted caravans to be sensory friendly and can be rented from them directly (Family & Autism friendly holidays Craig Tara: https://www.facebook.com/share/18dCQLoHDF/).

• Haggerston Castle, Berwick Upon Tweed: https://www.haven.com/parks/northumberland/haggerston-castle 

• Hunters Quay, Dunoon: larger holiday lodges (some with hot tubs) and an onsite pool: https://argyllholidays.com/hunters-quay-holiday-village/ 

• Seton Sands, Edinburgh: pool is busy but lots of activities onsite and beside the beach: https://www.haven.com/parks/scotland/seton-sands 

• Southerness, Dumfries: has a soft play and is beside the beach, but less activities for younger children than the Haven parks: https://www.parkdeanresorts.co.uk/location/scotland/southerness/
