Verdant Leisure: award-winning holiday parks in Scotland and Northern England

Verdant Leisure is a UK company that operates eleven holiday parks across Scotland and Northern England. Its offering combines short breaks in a range of accommodation types, pitches for touring caravans and motorhomes, and the sale of holiday homes and lodges on an ownership basis. The company presents itself as award-winning and focused on catering both for weekend getaways and for family holidays or stays of several weeks.

Park locations

The eleven parks are grouped into four geographical areas. In Northern England are Heather View and Kingfisher, both in County Durham, and Riverside in Northumberland. In South East Scotland are Coldingham Bay, Pease Bay and Scoutscroft, all in Berwickshire, plus Thurston Manor in East Lothian. In Central Scotland are Ballintuim and Erigmore, in Perthshire. In South West Scotland are Queensberry Bay, in Dumfriesshire, and Viewfield Manor, in Ayrshire. The company describes these locations as coastal and countryside settings with access to nearby towns and villages.

Accommodation types

The stay offering is organised into several categories. Caravans sleep up to six guests, include the first dog at no cost and offer accessible options and options with private decking; check-in is from 3pm. Lodges, with check-in from 2pm, sleep up to eight people, include private decking and have an accessible option planned. For 2026 the company is introducing The Hideaway category, with a hot tub option at Heather View, a mezzanine bunk level, private decking and check-in from 4pm. The Signature Collection, exclusive to one specific location, offers interiors described as luxurious, capacity for six guests and a scenic setting, and is aimed at couples.

Camping, glamping and motorhomes
