Seaton Estate in Arbroath is investing more than £4 million into the holiday and residential park.

Seaton Estate has around 350 holiday homes and 350 residential properties.

The estate has undergone an overhaul of its facilities to benefit residents and holiday visitors.

Owned by Crown Parks Ltd, a new restaurant called Kilt & Tartan opened in June.

The estate also refurbished its three bars and entertainment facilities.

Crown Parks owner Cresswell Welch said: “In total the investment for 2021-22 comes to around £4 million pound.

“We have also made major investments in new roads throughout the estate, new lighting and new trees.

“The spend also includes 20 new holiday homes for rental which have just been completed.

“A further 20 rentals are scheduled for release on the estate.

“We are also looking at providing more amenities for children to go along with cinema showings, discos and bingo.”

Another major investment of around £300,000 has been made towards efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

This has involved new equipment, vehicles and the introduction of five electric vehicle charging points.

Krystian Miynarski, Seaton Estate’s operations manager, said the cost-of-living crisis was affecting the way people holiday at the site.

People are still coming but some are choosing to stay for a shorter break.

“We have noticed people are booking for more two or three-night stays, ” he said.

“This time last year they would be booking for a full week.  Also, we have seen that more and more of the holiday guests at Seaton are from the local area as people don’t have as much disposable income.

“But I imagine they are also coming here to avoid the nightmare of queues, cancellations and luggage going astray at airports.”
