Great for winter stays

A really nice neat and tidy site, with hard standings which were perfect for our winter stay in February 2019. Good open views and space for the dog to wander. Decent sized pitches. The only issue we had was that it was quite windy and we did have to do quite a bit of re-pegging of the awning. Nearby Maybole is within walking distance and has all the basic amenities, Co-op, Spar, Petrol Station and even an independent butcher's, baker's and deli. The Maybole Arms serves basic , good value pub grub and is dog friendly. Although cash only. This site is close to the coast so is a good base. Culzean Castle is a great place to visit locally, as are all the local beaches. This would also be a good stop off site if you are travelling furher up the coast.

Beautifully kept site

We arrived here on a sunny afternoon after driving across road humps through a boarded up housing estate. The site is immaculately kept and the owner was cutting the lovely grass. When we arrived we noticed an annoying drone from the nearby sub station which was always there in the background. It seemed louder at night when it was still! This was disappointing for us as the site was ideal and we couldn’t fault it at all. There was also overhead power lines crossing the site. Obviously these things haven’t disappointed other members as there has been no mention of them. We never saw the owners again after our first day. We never used the toilet/shower. The site is ideally situated for sightseeing and Culzean Castle. Maybole sadly seemed a very run down town. Well done to the owners of keeping a beautiful site but the noise let it down for us.

A lovely site

The site was ideal for us & our 2 grandkids, & we stayed for 8 nights. The shower room was great as both children could be taken in together. The pitches were large & flat & great having hard standing as it was very wet. The site is well maintained & ideal for local attractions. We ate at the Kirkmichael Inn which was excellent & had a great varied children’s menu.

Exceptional wee site

We stayed at Auchenwynd for a week , arriving about an hour ahead of arrival time but this was not a problem, the owners- Gavin and Sally were busy trimming hedges and cutting the grass. We pitched up and got settled then Sally came and introduced herself and showed us where everything was. We paid on arrival and were pretty much left to enjoy our holiday but they were always at hand at the farmhouse if we needed anything. The shower and toilet facilities are well kept, plenty hot water and a good shower too. This lovely site is a shining example of a CL, it is absolutely lovely, huge pitches, 3 hard standing and 2 grass , all beautifully laid out with fencing and hedges surrounding the site. A ten minute walk takes you into Maybole, a small town but with all the shops you need- a Co-op, Spar, bakers, butcher, cafes, etc and plenty good places to eat in the surrounding area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Auchenwynd, it felt like we’d been on holiday much longer than a week and therefore would have no hesitation in recommending this site to anyone visiting the area.

a gem and not to be missed

Beautifully kept site, big level pitches, fantastic shower, spotless toilets, books, magazines,information leaflets on shelf in the toilet/shower area. Easy access to all that is best in Ayrshire and a friendly sheep who just loves being stroked and makes a funny snoring noise! The owners are friendly and nothing is too much for them to make your stay as perfect as possible. The reason the overall rating is not 5 is because the 2 large gates are left open and it would be good if they had some sort of security code. We recommend.

Another enjoyable stay at Auchenwynd

This delightful little CL is starting to become a firm favourite with ourselves now. A well appointed site with lovely big and level pitches with really nice scenic views of the Carrick hills and surrounding area. Situated just two miles from Maybole, and easily accessible to the village for a Co-Op, Sparr and a few takeaway shops also. A good central location for visiting Girvan, Stranraer, Ayr and the surrounding coastline. A quiet and tranquil site where we both enjoyed good night's sleep and relaxation. We will certainly be looking to come back for another visit.

10 Days at Auchenwynd

On arrival at Auchenwynd we found the access to the site very good even with a twin axle van all the pitches are good and even, no problems levelling the van up. There are three hard standing and two grass pitches all with good views across thw Aryshire countryside. The sites location is good for visiting the many places of interest in the area. Culzean Catle, Dumfries House and Arran to name but a few. The owners ( Mr and Mrs Watson) were very helpful and friendly and the information about the area is very good. There is a heated toilet / shower room on site and easy access to water and elsan disposal. We will revisit the site and would recommend it to other club members.

Great little CL

This CL has been well thought out , 3 hardstandings and 2 grass pitches. You can pick your own pitch , first come first served ! Toilet shower block is clean and warm , only one of each but you lock the door on entry and the space is yours . Friendly welcome from Owner , you pay on arrival and then they leave you to it, but if you need anything they’re just yards away in the farmhouse. There’s loads to do in the area , we did a 5 mile walk from the campsite. Culzean Castle is a must and a day trip to Arran . If you fancy a meal out go to Kirkoswald just down the road to the Souters Inn , lovely but save room for their ice cream ! Sadly Maybole itself has little to offer other than a few shops but a good co-op . The town itself if typical of the small towns in the area which have suffered from lack of investment ....but you only have to drive through and you reach this lovely CL .
