He says, lively city break, she says, laid back country retreat? Keep your hair on - you can have both at Seton Sands Holiday Park in East Lothian: a serene seaside setting, encircled by undulating countryside, but with exciting, eclectic, exuberant Edinburgh just a 30-minute drive away. With lots of green open spaces on site, plus fantastic beaches and world-famous golf courses in easy reach, it’s an ideal spot for discovering bonny Scotland. For days when you feel like staying closer to home, you’ll find a great range of facilities at this attractive Haven park: free kids’ clubs for tots to teens, run by the enthusiastic FunStars, and featuring furry friends such as Rory the Tiger and Anxious the Elephant; a heated indoor pool with inflatable-, pedal- and jet-powered fun; sports activities such as tennis, football and archery, and a diverse programme of daytime and evening entertainment for all the family in the ShowBar. The relaxed and modern Mash and Barrel café bar offers a good range of food options throughout the day and evening, and there’s also a fish and chip shop and a convenience store on site.

Local attractions

Next door to Seton Sands Holiday Park is a beachful of rock pools to explore, with a glorious vista of the Firth of Forth. For those who prefer unbroken stretches of golden sand, there are some excellent examples just minutes’ drive away. Twelve miles from Seton Sands is the Scottish Seabird Centre, where visitors can take a seabird safari by boat, or get up close and personal with the local wildlife using the interactive cameras hidden amongst the colonies of nesting birds. You may see seals, dolphins or the occasional whale in addition to all the puffins and gannets. The area is a golfer’s paradise, with loads of beautiful municipal courses, plus renowned championship links such as Royal Troon, Prestwick and Turnberry. Ramblers, meanwhile, converge on the beautiful Isle of Arran, where there are coastal and woodland paths, plus more arduous climbs such as Goat Fell. Drive across country to the port of Ardrossan to pick up a ferry. Edinburgh is packed with things to see and do: the Castle, Holyrood House, the Royal Yacht Britannia, fantastic galleries and museums, cosy cafés and pubs, and superb shopping. Luckily it’s only 18 miles from Seton Sands, so you don’t need to try and cram it all into a single visit... Heading south, just over the border is one of the UK’s best views: stately Bamburgh Castle, perched high on the rock above a wide sweep of golden sand and dunes. The nearby fishing village of Seahouses is the place to go for a boat trip to the Farne Islands, keeping your eyes peeled for seals and seabirds en route; on your return you can wander around the ancient streets and take in the sights and sounds of the harbour. Finally, the fetching town of Alnwick is popular with history buffs and a wizard day out for Harry Potter fans: the medieval castle acted as the location for Hogwarts, and is a fascinating place to explore - there are guided tours and various interactive sessions, including broomstick training. Within the castle grounds is the contemporary Alnick Garden, with exciting cascades, a bamboo labyrinth and an enormous treehouse.
