Staycation inspiration with Royal Arch Riverside Park
ARE you dreaming of a holiday? While there is still uncertainty around travelling, planning a future staycation could satisfy your holiday cravings – and Royal Arch Riverside Park offers plenty of inspiration! The park near Fettercairn is ideally located to explore Royal Deeside and indulge in your favourite hobbies, once lockdown is over. “There’s something on offer to suit all interests, right on the doorstep of Royal Arch Riverside Park,” says Bill McDonald, the park’s owner.
For golf enthusiasts, there are courses in Montrose, Aberdeen and Carnoustie, and you’ll find plenty of ways to get active: whether it’s walking, skiing or cycling through the surrounding glens, exploring nearby castles or discovering picturesque east coast beaches like St Cyrus. Stonehaven’s open air pool is a must-visit when it reopens, while SUP2SUMMIT will be running paddleboarding classes within the grounds of Riverside Park this summer. After your local adventures, head to your luxury lodge at Riverside Park, the perfect place to relax and unwind!
Ideal for staycations, these comfortable home-from-home lodges come with private parking, garden areas, decking, integrated appliances, double glazing and some even have a hot tub!
Investment opportunity
Royal Arch Riverside Park doesn’t just offer a fantastic staycation destination – buying there is an investment opportunity, too. And when you’re not staying there, rent it out. The park’s partner Hoseasons can help with leasing and you could receive a considerable income from rentals: for example, a twobedroom lodge could attract £800-per-week during high season (£600 is low season), and the park estimates an uptake of 32 weeks per lodge every year, generating an average income of £22,400-a-year.
Plus, the park’s experts will look after all the practicalities for you, from admin and advertising to cleaning and maintenance, thanks to its management service.
