Sunnybrae is the perfect site for family holidays but as parents ourselves we realise that you probably have lots of questions about child friendly facilities. Hopefully this page will provide most of the answers! laundry We offer a reasonably priced laundry service for guests but do not have a self-service launderette. All caravans are equipped with an airer and clothes pegs, and the site has an undercover drying area as well for wet coats, wetsuits, bikesetc. bike hire We have bikes available to hire for exploring the
island, including childrens bikes, trailers and tag-alongs. Helmets
and a map of the island are available free of charge. However for the safety and benefit of other guests
we prefer it if children do not ride bikes on the site. babies and toddlers We have a travel cot and highchair for the use of guests, but do not provide linen for the cot. Bed bars are available, as are mattress protectors in case of accidents! We recommend caravan 6 for families with small children as it is the furthest from the water, and is on a slightly higher level. Caravan 2 is also away from the waters edge, and has a larger grassed area in front of it for children to play on. child friendly attractions One of the most popular days out are to the Sea Life Centre which offers hands on shark feeding sessions and is always a big hit with children. In Oban there is also a swiming pool, and cinema for wet weather days. We also enjoy the museum down at Kilmartin Glen and the numerous castles in the area. Some of our guests go as far afield as Inverary (with its Jail, Castle and Maritime Museum) or to Fort William to ride on the cable cars. balamory One "attraction" that many small children want to see is Tobermory, home to the BBC's Balamory show. It is at the north end of Mull, and can be visited from here as a day trip. The best way is to take the ferry from Oban to Craignure and then catch one of the frequent buses to Tobermory. Taking a car over for the day can be expensive on the ferry, but passenger tickets are very reasonable. If you would like to make this trip during your stay then please ask us for more information and timetables.
But of course the best thing about summer holidays is being at the seaside! There is a sandy beach not far away that offers great rockpooling and sandcastle building, plus the chance to swim in sheltered water. There are a wide range of boat trips in the area, ranging from short trips to see the seals from Oban to fast rib rides from Easdale. There are also whale and dolphin watching trips suitable for older children running from the neighbouring Isle of Seil. If your children enjoy being out and about, and exploring than they should have a wonderful time here. If they prefer to spend their time plugged into a play station or mobile phone then maybe this wouldn't be the perfect holiday for them! (Or maybe it is the perfect excuse to drag them away from their "life support machines" and get them out in the fresh air!) If you have any questions, however small or silly they seem please give us a call on 01852 314274!
