Middleton's Caravan and Camping Park , Isle of Arran

Middleton’s is the largest holiday park on the island and a very successful venture due to its idyllic location, well-placed for tourism. This established caravan and camping site spans 7.5 acres, hugged by picturesque countryside, tree-lined borders, and the tranquil Monamore Burn. It also offers stunning coastal views overlooking Lamlash Bay towards Holy Isle. The park is conveniently located a short level walk from Lamlash village, which offers a variety of amenities and is a popular destination for visitors to Arran. Additionally, the island’s main town, Brodick, and its ferry terminal are only a 10-minute drive away.

This has been a family-run business for several decades, consistently maintaining almost 100% occupancy with a history of limited availability for new residents. Due to the current owners’ retirement, Watermans and DM Hall can now offer this rare opportunity to acquire a highly profitable lifestyle business with excellent growth potential. It is ideal for family ownership and can be operated under management from further afield.

The site has 63 static pitches (with consent for 65) and 8 permanent touring pitches, all with power. The grass-laid campsite lies to the south of the site pleasantly close to the burn. At the main entrance, there is a detached bungalow adjoined to communal shower facilities and toilets, a site office/reception, and a laundry room for guests. Ideal for owner/manager accommodation or as an extra rental income, the bungalow includes two double bedrooms, a living room, a dining kitchen, and a bathroom with shower-over-bath. There is also a detached storage facility (former shower block with a WC) for storing maintenance equipment. This is located next to a small on-site parking area.

The business operates from March 1st to October 31st. New owners have the opportunity to extend this operating season, as well as increase the number of pitches to meet demand, pending approval and licenses from North Ayrshire Council.

Fees for 2024 are £2,598 per annum (inc. VAT) for the static pitches and £1,500 per annum (inc. VAT) for the permanent touring pitches. Annual sales are consistently strong with good profit margins. Accounting information will be made available to interested parties after viewing and on receipt of a note of interest from acting solicitors.

EPC rating available upon request. Each party is to be responsible for their own legal costs incurred.

Area

This established and highly profitable holiday park enjoys a quiet location, close to the relaxed coastal village of Lamlash on the eastern aspect of Arran, a popular island off the west coast of Scotland. The village boasts two hotels (The Glenisle and Lamlash Bay Hotel), two pubs (The Pierhead Tavern (PHT) and The Drift Inn), a newsagents, a chemist, a medical centre, the only hospital on the island, and a Co-op supermarket. There is also a primary school, nursery, and the island’s only high school and gym campus. Further primary schooling is available in Corrie, Brodick, and Whiting Bay.

Brodick, Arran’s main town, has two larger Co-ops and a full range of professional services. Here, regular sailings depart throughout the day, serviced by Caledonian MacBrayne and leading to the mainland at Ardrossan. Commuters and travellers now benefit from Road Equivalent Tariff (RET) ferry fares, which are substantially lower than before. Ardrossan is approximately 30 miles from central Glasgow and its mainline station provides services to the city that conveniently connect with the ferry times. Prestwick International Airport is 16 miles to the south of Ardrossan, with Glasgow International Airport 24 miles east of the town.

A frequent bus service runs around and across the Isle of Arran and, at Lochranza, there is a ferry terminus that allows quick access to the stunning west of Scotland via Claonaig. Kintyre, here we come!
