Brilliant seaside Scottish holiday village where families can stay for half the price
A Scottish family holiday village near a stunning beach is currently on offer with a whopping 50 per cent discount.
Hunters Quay Dunoon Holiday Village can be found close to Dunoon town on the Cowal peninsula in Argyll and Bute, roughly 90 minutes from Glasgow. And it boasts sweeping views across the Holy Loch and has plenty to keep adults and children busy.
Currently, voucher site Wowcher is selling three, four, or seven-night breaks at the holiday park for half the usual cost. Visitors can secure the getaway for just £199, slashed from the regular rate of £394.25 which includes four or six people staying in a two or three-bedroom static caravan. It comes as locals say a Devon village is like a 'time warp' that has never changed.
Each caravan features central heating, a complete kitchen setup, a flat screen television, and fresh bed linen, reports the Daily Record
Holiday guests will also gain complete access to Hunters Quay's recreational amenities. These feature two swimming pools - including one exclusively for adults - a fitness centre, a sauna, a steam chamber, and various on-site entertainment options.
Activites on offer include axe throwing, aqua run, 'superhero academy', sand art, and a teddy bear hunt. Additionally, there's evening live shows and a children's play zone and there's an on-site pub serving "delicious meals" according to Wowcher.
Visitors can opt to dine in or request a takeaway and enjoy their meal back at their caravan. The Wowcher package also features a complimentary late checkout of 11am. Pet owners can bring their furry friends along for an additional £15 per dog per night.
While holiday parks remain a favourite for staycations, some travellers might fancy a traditional hotel instead. Popular nearby alternatives include the Royal Marine Hotel and the SGE Argyll Hotel.
Hunters Quay Dunoon Holiday Village has received largely favourable reviews from visitors. The resort boasts a 4.1 out of five rating on Tripadvisor based on 1,074 reviews.
One guest wrote: "The park was lovely and clean. Lodge was very clean and spacious. We had a great stay. Staff were friendly and worked hard."
Another delighted holidaymaker commented: "This was our first proper family holiday and I couldn't have wished for anything better. Everyone was so amazing and kind. Nothing was too much for anyone!".
Another visitor said: "Caravan lovely and clean, quiet location at the bottom of the hill. So [it's a] trek to the facilities. Very busy as [it was the] height of season.
"Would avoid restaurant due to length of time it takes to serve food after ordered. We had dog and granddaughter with us, who wre both fed up."
However, another five-star guest gushed: "Amazing holiday at Hunters Quay, highly recommend this park. The staff are so helpful and friendly. The food was really nice and we enjoyed the evening entertainment."

Weather warning issued across Scotland for thunderstorms
The weather warning is set to come into force from 2pm on Wednesday until at least 10pm on Thursday. Forecasters said that whilst some areas will remain dry, heavy showers and thunderstorms could cause disruption across both days. READ MORE: Public told to 'stay away' from beach where 23 whales found dead Temperatures are set to reach highs of 30C, with thunder, lightning and heavy rain expected later in the evenings. Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) issued an alert for the Highlands and Moray on Tuesday and warned that the electricity networks could be disrupted by lightning. SSEN said: 'This Weather Warning status indicates the likelihood of disruption that this period of severe weather could cause, and the extra measures we're taking in response. 'The way lightning can affect our electricity distribution network differs from the impacts seen in other storms, where gale-force winds are the principal cause of damage. Restoration times are also generally shorter.' The Met Office has advised that spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures, making travel hazardous for motorists. There is a small chance that some communities could become cut off by flooded roads, particularly in rural or low-lying areas. Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services, potentially affecting commuters and travellers.

There is also a small chance that homes and businesses could be quickly flooded, with damage possible from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds. Forecasters also warned that there is a small chance of fast-flowing or deep floodwater posing a danger to life in affected areas.

The Kazakhstan hex Celtic will attempt to smash in UCL tie
The Hops face a marathon 3,536-mile, 11-hour trek from Glasgow in the Champions League play-off round against Kairat Almaty as they bid to reach the league stage. But Scottish clubs have a nightmare record in the former Soviet outpost in Asia and have lost on five of the seven occasions and drawn twice. Celtic have been in Kazakhstan on three occasions, but each time it was in Astana. In 2013, they crashed to a disastrous 2-0 defeat to Shakhter Karagandy, who had moved their game to the capital. Three years later, Celtic did at least salvage a 1-1 draw against FC Astana, and a year later, Celtic lost 4-3 in the away match to the same opponents, although the tie was wrapped up after a 5-0 home victory. Read more: Scotland also suffered an infamous defeat under Alex McLeish six years ago when they were destroyed 3-0 also in Astana. And three Scottish teams have also played 770 miles to the east in Almaty too. Aberdeen lost 2-1 to Kairat Almaty ten years ago in the Europa League when a Kenny McLean goal wasn't enough for Derek McInnes' team, who could only draw 1-1 at Pittodrie in the return and were eliminated. And Scotland Under 21s have twice played there in the past three years - they drew 2-2 in 2022 when current Celtic scout Peter Houston took charge of the team because manager Scot Gemmill was suffering from Covid in a match with floodlight failure. And last October, they lost 3-2 at the crumbling Almaty Ortalyk Stadium despite a wonder striker from new Udinese star Lennon Miller, when a win would have seen them qualify for the Euros play-offs.
