Autumn is known as a popular time of year for a romantic getaway. However, it is also a perfect opportunity to book a family staycation.
Everyone will have their own idea of the perfect family holiday. Some enjoy the amenities of a city break, while others prefer a cottage in the Scottish Highlands where they have easy access to spectacular walks.
However, for many, there is nothing quite like a holiday park or caravan site. If you are struggling to find somewhere to head with the family, one was previously named the “best in Scotland”.
Auchenlarie Holiday Park is an award-winning park situated on the coastline of Dumfries and Galloway. It offers direct access to a secluded beach that overlooks Wigtown Bay.
