What do you look for when choosing your family holiday?
A beach on your doorstep? The flexibility of self-catering accommodation with the convenience of family friendly bars and eateries nearby?
How about a safe environment for the kids to explore (just like the old days) – oh, and reasonable prices too? Definitely!
Throw in beautiful scenery, a dollop of culture, a mix of activities and this is starting to sound like the type of quality downtime many of us crave.
Abbeyford Leisure’s award-winning holiday parks in the East Neuk of Fife tick all the right boxes.
Elie Holiday Park, for example, is a real hidden gem and offers a fine selection of holiday home accommodation nestled behind the beach, or close to forest walks with spectacular meadow views (look out for deer and inquisitive red squirrels).
It’s also home to the impressive (free) Robinson Crusoe Adventure Park, the superb Kincraig View Restaurant and the popular Mirador Café, which serves some of the best barista coffee in the Kingdom. Come for the day and you’ll want to stay longer.
Nearby, St Monans Holiday Park is a quieter option and provides the ideal base for exploring the East Neuk.
The Fife Coastal Path runs directly past the park and many walkers choose to stay in one the Signature Plus or Castaway Vista holiday homes. These have the added luxury of private decking offering sensational sea views across the Firth of Forth and Isle of May.
Further along the coast, St Andrews Holiday Park boasts unrivalled sea views across azure waters towards St Andrews and beyond, and is enviably located within easy reach of magnificent sandy beaches and all the best golf courses.
There’s an impressive bar and restaurant (The Braes) with a laid back vibe, an expansive sun terrace to soak up those sea views and a Papa John’s Pizza Takeaway.
There are lodges with hot tubs and designated dog-friendly holiday homes too.
And as Fife is one of the sunniest regions in Scotland, with an average of 1,500 hours of sunshine per year, all three parks benefit from some of the best weather in Scotland with seldom a midge to be seen!
Castaway (beach or forest) holiday homes at Elie Holiday Park start from £324 per family at Easter for 3 nights.
