The credit crunch and collapse of the pound against the euro has prompted a surge of bookings at camp sites as families opt to stay in the UK. As ever one of the most popular destinations in the UK is Scotland. Motor home hire in Scotland is available from quite a few companies, but Motorholme have a large network of motor home hire in Scotland which are just the best value rentals.
If you are looking for a site in Scotland, Cairnsmill Caravan Park at St Andrews, run by third generation owner John Kirkcaldy with his sisters Margaret and Caroline, niece Michelle and son Alan.
John’s great uncle originally ran the site as a dairy farm and introduced the first caravans around a reservoir on the land in the early 1950s. Cairnsmill now comprises 200 static caravans and space for around 60 touring motorhomes and caravans.
“Because we’re a family business, we’re prepared to go that extra mile to keep the business moving, and that often means rolling up our sleeves and doing more work ourselves rather than relying on employees,” John explains.
“You’ve got to be pretty resilient and be prepared to anything, including working late at night, early in the morning and at weekends. It’s not a nine to five job which doesn’t suit everyone.” John says his father also believed in trying to meet people’s budgets rather than running the business for pure profit. This tradition has helped to keep prices competitive.
Normally Summer bookings wouldn’t start until after Easter, but the park’s phone is already ringing off the hook.
“We’re already taking bookings for July, August and September,” John says. “We usually get bookings about a month in advance, but now they’re happening at least two months’ in advance. Enquiries have definitely gone up.”
Motor home hire in Scotland can be booked by calling 0800 612 8719. If you are flying to any of the major airports in Scotland such as Glasgow International or Edinburgh, airport transfers can arranged as part of the motor home hire Scotland package.
