This lovely site delivered everything we expected, from the ease of booking, the nice friendly organised welcome, and one of the prettiest locations we have ever stayed in. On arrival we found a board telling us how to pitch, with our names on a pitch marker, there’s plenty of room to use either hardstanding or grass, and the pitches are beautifully landscaped individual areas, giving a nice degree of privacy, and lots of wildflower/shrub colour. Every pitch has a nice view of some sort, and the whole area is down a short secluded driveway, so there’s little road noise or disturbance. We didn’t need any kind of levelling, and pitches are spacious. There’s a great little walk from the pitches down to the loch side with seating to watch the sunsets and the wildfowl on the loch.
Tap is not far from all pitches, adjacent to small recycling/waste area. CDP point is away from all pitches, a hole in the ground with tap flush and cover, perfectly easy to use. There’s no wifi (this is a very rural area) but a decent phone signal, we tethered our devices to phones with no problems. Nearest petrol is around 5 minutes away, back on A75, but Stranraer with all services/shops is a mere 15 minutes drive away.
Great location for the Rhins of Galloway area. Castle Kennedy is 5 minutes drive away, Glenwhan Gardens 15 minutes drive away, Logan Botanic Gardens around 30 minutes away, with all the wonderful scenery, coast, villages etc… nearby. A very good walking and cycling location as well. We did Portpatrick and back in an afternoon, all on quiet lanes with little traffic. We didn’t bother heading into Stranraer this time, but it looks interesting, and for those with the time, ferries go across to Belfast and Larne from Cairnryan.
This is a CL in a beautiful location, with lots to see and do, lovely helpful and welcoming hosts, ideal for both getting out and about to explore, but lovely enough to just stay close to site and relax and unwind. A place we would definitely recommend and return to again.
Dog owners…..dog friendly, small onsite walk for a quick leg stretch, with quiet lanes adjacent for longer walks. There are chickens and Guinea fowl roaming, so be aware and respectful.
