Good location

We stayed here for four nights at the end of September. It's a lovely site hidden away near the university. Nice site for families although it is worth noting that the child's bathroom forms part of the ladies toilets; therefore us dads are unable to play our part in bathing the little ones. The shower blocks were clean, warm and I liked the fact they had music; however, they do need updating. The water pressure in the showers was very low and the cubicles small. Great location for visiting Glasgow, Falkirk wheel etc. And a nice walk into Ayr itself which has plenty of shops and a nice long sandy beech.

Lovely Site

The site is well situated for walking into Ayr with the shops or a little further to the beach. It's also a good site for walking dogs with large areas of trees/grass and a riverside path which is easily accessed. It is a well kept site with lovely flower beds and well kept grass around the pitches. The toilet block is the only thing which lets it down. Although extremely clean, the showers are very out dated and the water pressure is poor. Some of the dividing panels are also cracked and broken in the ladies showers. It can be a very busy site when the horse racing is on and a few more showeres would be benificial. Time for an upgrade.

Superb

First stay ever at a Caravan Club site and it was fabulous. Staff very helpful and friendly, on entering the site we noticed the beautiful flowers straight away. The site was we'll laid out with large pitches. The toilet and showers were first rate , clean warm and well maintained. Within easy access to Ayr centre and railway station, a mere 10 minutes walk. We would certainly recommend this site.

Lovely Site

This is a lovely convenient site, beautifully kept by the friendly wardens. So why have I scored so low? The shower/toilet blocks are outdated and badly need refurbished. They were very clean, to the credit of the hard working wardens, but the water pressure was very poor, and during our visit one of the showers in the female block only ran cold. Also, during our visit we were dismayed to see some fellow members driving round this site at speed.

Excellent Site

This was an excellent site in that it is located within walking distance of Ayr. The walk from the site to Ayr via the river bank was just glorious, we did manage to get superb weather in mid September and that obviously helped. The site was full because of the forthcoming Air Show but even after the event, whilst most people coming for the show disappeared, their places were taken by others. Everybody was very friendly, I lost my wife on any number of occasions whilst we were there (8 days). The facilities were excellent. I did read in the review book in the Information room that certain people (I've been in the Caravan Club for 26 years - and therefore YOU should listen to me type of person) stated in their opinion that the toilets need to be updated. Why? is my response to that. The toilet/amenities/ablutions block is pleasant, warm, clean and everything works just as it should. There is even piped music at a reasonable volume. How long do these people spend in the toilets? Perhaps during their stays in these superb locations they should get out more and enjoy the local area instead of whingeing (which is what I've just realised is what I am doing now). Another thing both my wife and I noticed is that there were many people keeping the streets not only tidy but hosing them down. Whether this was because of the Air Show I don't know but it was really refreshing to see. Altogether a great time was had by us.

Ayr today, and Ayr tomorrow

If you want a site that reflects a softer-side of Scotland, Ayr is the place. Set in a secluded garden between a residential area and the college, the site provides easy access to the river, which in turn leads in 10 mins walk to the heart of the town, with its very long beaches and glorious views. The town centre also features a wide variety of shops, great for those stocking up on essentials before heading up the west coast. The site itself feels contained without being cramped. It is beautifully maintained by excellent, and very helpful wardens - their floral displays at the entrance are legendary. Showers and facilities are nice and clean, with background music in the shower blocks - a feature which we enjoyed. As a staging post for the north west, or for a short break away, we would recommend this site, and give it five stars.

lovely site

having just spent 21 nights at this lovely site which is in a perfect location easy to walk into town and to the beach we feel the one let down are the showers that drasticaly need upgrading it would also help if site users would observe the 5mph speed limit the corner by the childrens play area is an accident waiting to happen the floral arrangements at the entrance to the site are a credit to the wardens and yes we would visit again.

Another excellent stay

Had another excellent stay at this site over the first weekend in September this year. Used the site as a base for visiting the Air Show and nearby Prestwick Airport. Site itself is well looked after and clean, the shower block is also clean although the showers could possibly do with an upgrade. Wardens were very pleasant and helpful over our stay and kept everything spik and span.
