Royal Arch Riverside Park is a beautiful, new and exclusive holiday park on the doorstep of Royal Deeside and embraces the stunning views, wildlife and history of Scotland.

Nestled in the Southern Highlands of Scotland, this site boasts a beautiful collection of lodges and holiday homes which are perfect for a family break in a breathtakingly stunning area of the UK. The park really embraces the incredible rural Scotland backdrop, with each abode being framed by the mountain and countryside views.

There are some fantastic walks nearby, as well as coastal spots for a family beach day. After a day of fun exploring the Southern Highlands, the park is the perfect place to relax and unwind in your lodge, whether that’s in the comfortable living area, or outside for a soak in the hot tub.

Rolling greens and unspoiled open meadows surround the site, meaning there is a wonderfully idyllic atmosphere that will transport guests into their own slice of heaven. With plenty of walking routes, there is an adventure in nature around every corner. There is also a new play area for children, which will provide endless fun and excitement.

There are lakes on site, which you can take a relaxing stroll around on a warm day. The lakes are also well stocked with fish, so guests can try out some coarse fishing whilst staying here. For more adventurous holiday makers, the site offers water sports activities on the lakes, including paddle boarding and kayaking. This is a great way to try out a new sport with the children. 

The Invercauld, Glamis and Dunnottar lodges all sleep four, making them perfect for a small family. Each lodge is designed with luxury in mind, with a spacious open plan living/dining/kitchen area. Invercauld is a new timber-clad lodge, which really captures a feeling of holiday indulgence. With the hot tub outside, and the comfortable living space, this abode is the epitome of relaxing in style.

Dunnottar is a holiday home style accommodation, and the living area is framed by the glass patio doors to allow plenty of light in. The bedrooms, a double and a twin, are generously spacious, as is the bathroom. There are also lodges available which sleep six, many of which also have an outdoor hot tub. Huntly, Craigiever, Hatton, and Braemar were all and these comfortable and elegant holiday homes really provide a home-from-home feel.

The furnishings are modern and stylish, yet comfortable. Each holiday home has a breath-taking view of the surrounding meadows, which is perfect to wake up to in the morning. Stuart is another six-person lodge, which has a cosy interior and rustic-feeling kitchen area. Relax in the outdoor hot tub in the evening after a day exploring the Scottish Highlands.

There are plenty of unforgettable locations nearby, which make for the perfect adventurous outing for the whole family. Dunnotter Castle is two miles away, and this imposing medieval fortress cover 3.5 acres of its own island area right over the sea. Walk through the ruins and feel immersed in Scottish history. Another historical site just over an hour’s drive away is Balmoral Castle, which is a baronial style mansion that has been incredibly well preserved.

Near the park is the village of Luthermuir, which is the ideal spot for a leisurely walk and a cake at Scots Corner. On a warm day, pack your bucket and spades and take a 15-minute drive to the beach at Montrose, where the golden sand stretches on for miles. If you’re visiting in the colder months, there is a fantastic skiing site at Glenshee Ski Centre.
