Five-star quality in Lochgoilhead
A family-owned holiday park in Argyll has received VisitScotland’s top award following a £6.5million development.
Drimsynie Estate Holiday Village in Lochgoilhead received a five-star grading from the national tourism organisation’s Quality Assurance (QA) Scheme in recognition of its exceptional standards.
Managed by Argyll Holidays, the holiday park has launched a number of new facilities, including a spa and gym, a purpose-built destination for events and a restaurant, since the multi-million pound investment.
Drimsynie Estate is where Argyll Holidays began back in 1968. Letting out six caravans on a small piece of ground, Douglas and Jean Campbell grew the park into the holiday village that can be seen today. The business, now managed by the second generation of the family, currently owns eight holiday parks and is also involved in hotels, retail and construction.
Last year, the business was presented with Best Family Holiday Park in the Scottish Outdoor Leisure Awards.
Keith Campbell, managing director of Argyll Holidays, said: ‘Everyone is absolutely thrilled to receive VisitScotland’s top award. We have been working very hard to improve our facilities to ensure visitors have the best experience possible and it’s great that this has been acknowledged by the national tourism organisation.’
David Adams McGilp, VisitScotland Regional Director, said: ‘Well done to the team at Drimsynie on receiving our highest accolade. A great deal of time, money and effort has been invested in improving the facilities here and I’m delighted they are receiving this well-deserved recognition.’
