Families booking a half-term getaway abroad next month will be hit with some of the worst ever recorded school holiday price increases. With costs soaring up to seven times higher than normal staying on home soil sounds much more appealing, and Argyll Holidays has a host of brilliant half-term staycations on offer which are not only perfect for the whole family – but won’t break the bank.
A notoriously difficult long weekend to keep the little ones entertained, Argyll Holidays has the February school holidays sorted. With weekend breaks available in the stunning Scottish countryside with a variety of indoor and outdoor activities to keep the kids busy, the whole family can enjoy the half-term in comfort and style.
Located in and around Argyll, Argyll Holidays has eight award winning holiday parks to choose from, including: Drimsynie Estate Holiday Village, Hunters Quay, Stratheck, Loch Eck, Loch Awe and Loch Lomond. Just a short drive from Glasgow’s city centre, and with some of Scotland’s most iconic landscapes on its door step, Argyll Holidays is ideal for beating the half-term blues and making the most of what Scotland has to offer.
Whether you want to play adventurer in your own premium caravan, snuggle up in a traditional woodland lodge, or add a touch of luxury to your February getaway with a private hot tub lodge, Argyll Holidays has money saving deals to suit everyone.
Recently voted the country’s ‘Best Family Holiday Park’ in the Scottish Outdoor and Leisure Awards 2016, Drimsynie Estate Holiday Village is the perfect half-term destination. A great retreat for all the family, you can enjoy a whole host of thrilling outdoor activities from archery and fencing to crazy carts and body zorbing.
There are also a variety of on-site activities for all ages. For children under 7, they can learn to ride their bikes with Argyll Holidays Balanceability programme, go on a swashbuckling adventure with the Pirate’s Paradise gang, or even explore Drimsynie with the whole family on the exciting Go Quest! woodland trail.
Hunters Quay is another popular choice for families, especially during the school holidays. The on-site leisure complex is perfect for water babies, where they can spend the weekend splashing around in the two heated swimming pools and even try their hand at snorkelling. For parents looking to relax, enjoy a quiet minute in the sauna, steam room or jacuzzi - or even visit the on-site spa for an indulgent pamper.
This half term, Drimsynie Estate Holiday Village and Hunters Quay have a number of caravan and lodge breaks available at great prices.
