We understand that preparing an autistic person for a holiday can be challenging. At Spectrum Holidays we are always looking for ways to make this process easier for our families. We design bespoke, personalised visual stories and countdown calendars for every person that would benefit from additional preparation for their holiday with us.
Inside the holiday homes you will also find a set of visuals to help support you while on holiday, there is also a “now, next, later” travel keyring to take out and about with you as well as some information about the local area.

Haggerston Castle is close to an array of castles; Alnwick castle, which is the largest inhabited castle in the Europe and is of course most famous for being a location used in the Harry Potter movies. They have lots of activities on throughout the year, as well as having, on the same site, the award-winning visitor attraction, Alnwick Gardens. With its beautiful 12 acres of magnificent gardens, tree house restaurant and stunning water features that children can play in, Alnwick Castle and Gardens is a fantastic day out.

As with all caravans, the windows and doors also act as a means of escape in an emergency situation and therefore window restrictors or key locks are not able to be fitted, the doors lock with thumb turners from inside and the front door locks from the outside with a key.
Haggerston Castle holiday park has lots of lakes of varying sizes on the grounds. Our caravans are sited on Troon and there are no lakes in that area.
The park is a Haven site and can get busy and noisy in all areas of the park – our pitches are one of the quietest areas of the park, however, we cannot guarantee the behaviour of the other guests around you. Haggerston castle has a land train which is used by all guests to navigate the park. There are stops located around the park and 1 is approx 30 yards from our caravans .
The train may come past the caravans a few times a day but is not very loud. Security vans drive by regularly and will sometimes carry gas bottle refills which can clank when going over speed bumps. The park bins get emptied every day in peak season, and large Biffa lorries will drive past the caravans each morning.
Please note; The safe space bed is only available in one of the caravans as the bedroom has had to be remodelled to accommodate it. The bed is available on request and subject to availability.
Please note that the caravan have now been moved from Turnberry to Troon so the images of the outside areas are not up to date.
