We have just returned from a Monday to Friday stay at Grannies Heilan Hame and we had a lovely relaxing break. We were really lucky with the caravan that was allocated to us as it was a privately owned van and it was beautiful, a real show home - central heating, ensuite toilet, lovely decor and spotlessly clean. Excellent value... More

A great journey up the A9 from Glasgow with scenery all around to die for, we arrived to this quaint little holiday park & were greeted at first by a dust storm from a nearby crop farmland. Reception check-in was very quick, my partner & I were given an 8 berth caravan No.89 right next to all the amenities. On... More

Having booked a "dog friendly" van, I was very apprehensive about it having read previous reviews, however, I was very pleasantly surprised. We had a nice modern centrally heated van (much needed as the weather outside was freezing) with a first class view over the absolutely beautiful beach, and was very clean apart from a few stray dog hairs from...

After reading some previous reviews we weren't expecting too much but the caravan/location/service is great! After enduring blizzards and high winds on the four hour journey and with the wind almost blowing us into the sea on arrival, the staff on reception were bright and cheery with a warm welcome. The caravan itself with a fantastic sea view was spotless... More

We stayed at this site for 4 nights on a Sun £9-50 holiday as a base to tour the Highlands.When we arrived for check in after a 10 hr drive the rain was absolutely bouncing off the ground but the friendliness of the staff more than made up for that. For some reason we were automatically upgraded to a sea... More

I have been going to Embo for over 25 years now. More when I was younger I must admit, but now I have a son I wanted him to go too. I love it there, but unfortunately it is getting to the point of needing some up-datng. The games room/arcade is not a pleasant place to be. It's dark, dingy... More

We travelled for the first time with our 23 month old daughter to Grannies from the North East, after a long drive we were pleased to arrive at the caravan park. Although a little dated in reception the staff were welcoming and very pleasant. Our caravan was ready at 4pm and as we had never experienced a caravan holiday before... More
