We are no longer able to go abroad and due to my husband's Medical condition we are reluctant to go to a hotel where people in adjoining rooms could hear if he has a coughing fit or panic attack through the night, I wondered if a caravan might be suitable though I have no idea what may be on offer. As pensioners, we have no interest in children's facilities (though no objection to a child friendly place)
Our criteria would be:
1. Reasonable Comfort. We normally like at least 3* if not 4* hotels
2. Entertainment on site at no great walking distance.
3. Within about 3 hours drive from Glasgow/Edinburgh
Any suggestions, please.

Someone I know loves Drimsynie Estate at Lochgoilhead. See links below.
Thanks for your suggestions and links. Both sound a bit too large for us and neither of us is fit to enjoy any of the outdoor activities or attractions. Just want somewhere to relax during the day and entertainment at night.

Is the Lake District too far - about 2hr 30 to 3 hours? There is a lovely caravan/lodge park, Fallbarrow park in Bowness on Windermere. The park is on the lake but also right in the town so only a short walk to everything in the town. It's a beautiful setting with boat trips on the lake. There is an on-site bar which serves food, a shop and a cafe. One of our favourites!!
That sounds really good. Well within our distance. I will send for a brochure and see what my husband's health is like nearer the time of a holiday.
Do you know how far the cafe/bar is from the caravans as we are unable to walk much more than 200 metres without a break
Hi Helen .... it may not exactly fit in with your topic title, but looking at the criteria which you have set out above, have you ever given any thought to Crieff Hydro ? In addition to the hotel, they also have self catering lodges, chalets, cottages and apartments, some of them just yards from the main entrance to the hotel. Even within the hotel itself, with walls as old and thick as they are, I doubt if any noise would be heard between bedrooms. In fact I think noise insulation would probably be better in the hotel than in the self catering options. Like an earlier suggestion, there are also lots of outdoor activities, but as they are all optional you would not be paying for facilities which you would not be using. It might be worth subscribing to their newsletter, or playing around with the online availability checker, as there are often excellent deals available for both the hotel and the self catering accommodation.
Some of the caravans are nearer than others, if you decide to go it might be worth giving them a ring to discuss what you need
