Help Needed.  Holidaying last week July 1st week in August.  Site Required approx 6hr Drive From Edinburgh.  Will be 2 adults, 6 year old and a 2 month baby. (Touring Caravan)  Something along the lines of Haven but on a smaller, quieter scale.  Toilet and shower facilities of a good standard with baby change facilities and bath if possible.  Need entertainment, pool etc to keep 6 year old occupied if weather poor, close to some good child attraction for better weather.  Have looked at Flower of May.  Hoping that some other families have required similar and can advise, looking for as many options as poosible  as we need to make sure we pick the right one with taking the baby for the 1st time, so need to get it booked before the new arrival comes in April,   Many thanks.

I would def recommend but slightly more travelling but its well worth it, we're from Greenock and my sis is from Edinburgh, what we do is stay overnite at a travel lodge, last year we got one for £15 for the 4 of us.  Suppose you could stop in somewer on ure way down, depends on what ure looking for......... no harm in looking

Sites are:  Trevornick and Ruda, have a wee look at the reviews, c what u think

Probs wont be any help but u never know

Thanks for recommendation so far, unfortunatley the sites posted by Ang are just to far down. only want to travel approx 6hrs in total with no over night stop.  Still considering Scarborough (flower of May), however have thought about chester direction or even the lakes,  So looking for as many recommendations as possible, has to have baby change facilites with good tilet facilites etc, with entertainment to keep 6 year old happy.

Hi

 

Flower of May is a great site, family orientated but not commercialised to the extent of haven etc.We have gong every year since kids were 5 onwards and they still like going even now they are teenagers.

 

cheers

The Lakelands Haven site in Grange-Over-Sands is lot cleaner and quieter than other Haven sites, and the touring park bit is kind of off on it's own. It might suit you OK. Quite a lot to do round there too - Furness Owl Centre, South Lakes Wild Animal Park, Holker Hall Gardens & Motor Museum,  Windermere, Bowling & Cinema in Barrow, and even Blackpool is only an hour away.
