Lovely quiet site

We visited the site for a 2 night stop off as we travelled further north. We had been a little concerned after reading 2 very recent reviews but found the site delightful. Very quiet, beautifully kept, facilities spotless and staff friendly and welcoming. Some lovely dog walks along the river and an easy stroll into Ayr. Yes, Ayr is tired in places, as are many UK seaside towns, but it was clean and the area around the promenade and beach was lovely. We will definitely return in the future.

Disappointed for the 1st time

This is normally our favourite site because of the location as we have 2 dogs and the offsite walks and nearby country parks are perfect. However on this occasion there were 5 caravans who were together and booked for 9 nights who were extremely noisy and foul mouthed with a dog that constantly either barked or roamed and messed on pitches despite the warden telling them to tie it up. The men were obviously using the site as a base while they were working and vehicles with ladders were constantly in and out the site from early morning until late at night. The wardens did their best but as they said their hands were tied. I also reported that one vehicle in particular was driving around the site and slowing up at each occupied pitch which was quite unnerving. The wardens were advising all new arrivals to avoid the area where those 5 caravans were pitched. The toilets and showers were also fouled on one occasion which I’ve never seen before and I felt sorry for the wardens having to clean it up. We still managed to enjoy ourselves but felt uneasy leaving anything in the awning when off site. We will be back but will be checking that that group will not be there.

Disappointed

Disappointed in this site. On arrival we were informed there were some noisy pitches and told where to avoid pitching. There was a group of pitches which looked like permanent pitches that had a lot of people coming and going, cars constantly arriving and leaving and doing a circuit of the site. They had a dog that barked on and off for hours. Warden said there was nothing she could do!! Toilet and shower block dated and at certain times dirty. Wi-Fi didn’t work and problems with hot water. Walk along the river to town was terrifying with people who had taken drugs and a fair amount of homeless people. The surrounding area to Ayr beautiful but the town was very run down and not a nice place to visit.

Close to the centre of town

Before we came here I was a little worried in respect of some reviews about Ayr as a town. I think that it reflects many seaside towns these days though, in that it is modern and "updated" in some parts and a little run down in others. It wasn't as bad as I expected overall after reading some reviews on here. For us as a family, we personally didn't feel that Ayr had a lot to offer us and be mindful of this if you are planning to stay in the town for the duration of your holiday. It is however a good base to explore other areas, which is what we did. The site itself is in a good location in that you can walk by the river into town, and supermarkets are close by. It is tired though. Some pitches are untidy and has grass/weeds growing on them. The toilet block has good showers and is clean and functional, but again it is tired and in need of a refurb. When we arrived, the wardens were very busy at the time. We were asked to go find and pitch then come back later to pay, which I found unusual. The following day I was accused by a warden of "not listening" when we went to ask about directions into town (although we weren't actually told about how to get into town due to how busy they were the day before). She did note the look on my face in response to this comment and quickly said she was joking, then went on to explain this for us. Overall the information she gave was helpful but I must admit, it left me feeling a little wary about approach her again! We enjoyed our stay but we won't return here as Ayr doesn't offer enough for us.

Lovely quiet site with large pitches and friendly wardens. Nice walks along the river and a beautiful promenade with a fantastic beach, but unfortunately Ayr (like most british seaside towns) is a bit neglected and shabby.

Clean and colourful site.

Lovely welcome from wardens, pitch was recommended for evening sun, excellent. A very clean site, lots of flowers. Hard working wardens. Loved our stay. Easy river walk into Ayr.

Great welcome and helpful staff

We stayed on this site for two nights whilst travelling south after three weeks touring Scotland. We arrived later than expected but received a very warm welcome which was much appreciated at the end of a long day. The next day our gas supply failed but we were soon pointed in the direction of a local motor home dealership where the problem was resolved. The site itself is perfectly located with a lovely riverside walk into Ayr town centre which we very much enjoyed. The warmth of the welcome and the help we received with the gas supply problem meant that we left on a high and will definitely come back to this site.
