Center Parcs has offered a first glimpse of its latest destination near Selkirk in the Scottish Borders.

The holiday accommodation provider shared its early plans during a public consultation to share its latest thinking for the village, its first in Scotland.

Hosting a family-friendly indoor pool, forest spa and on-site retail and dining facilities the firm will target staycationers wishing to get away from it all by booking a short stay in a wooden lodge with ready access to outdoor activities such as tree trekking.

Fronted by landscape architect Paul Hogarth the £350m development comprises a designed landscape of lochs, wetlands and wildflower meadows.

Colin McKinlay, CEO of Center Parcs, said: “From the layout of our lodges to the design of key facilities like the Subtropical Swimming Paradise and Aqua Sana Forest Spa, every detail has been carefully considered to reflect the unique character of the location.”

A planning application is expected later this summer.
