GOOD FOR ADULTS AND THEIR FURRY FRIENDS

This site is quite small and compact but pretty and on one side has the sea views. We chose the walled area away from the sea, which protected you from the sea breezes. The views were amazing, awesome sunsets and always something to look at. Lots of birdlife. Walking away from the site to you right you went towards the little harbour and then round the corner on to the coastal path which you could walk forever. Lovely sandy bays and rocky outcrops to explore. You were also able to walk through a private landscaped garden which was beautiful. Going to the left you could walk out towards the point through a wooded area. Pub within a few hundred yards and accepted dogs inside. Fish & Chip van arrived on a Friday night. Bowls were regularly played opposite the pub. Nothing much for youngsters unless they like walking and nature. Quite remote so might be more of an issue if weather inclement. Showers block slightly older, but showers were great - really powerful, had proper shower heads which were adjustable!

May Anniversary Break

Arrived here on the Saturday for a week , the brilliant wardens organised for us to move to a seafront pitch on our second day which was lovely with views to die for , spend hours watching the tide roll in and out . The weather was warm and sunny for the whole week . having been to many club sites we have to say this one is the best we ve been to so far , the site is immaculately kept , the wardens very friendly and helpful, and the shower / toilet blocks were always clean. the walks from the site are great , along the coast , through forests etc .Had our anniversary meal at The Harbor Inn , which is a lovely little pub , with a nice peaceful beer garden at the back. We had some lovely fresh fish from the mobile wet fish van too.We ordered a Daily Newspaper from Garlieston Garage which is only a short walk away , he also sells fresh bread, milk and essential groceries. All in all we would recommend this site and will definitely be back again , Thanks for a lovely stay !!!!

Beautiful

When we arrived here we were not sure if we would last our stay. There is NOTHING HERE, no shops, no cafes, no tea rooms, BUT...the site is wonderful, spotless, views you never get tired of looking at, very helpful, knowledgable staff regarding the area in all manner of things,nothing was too much trouble even when I struggled to get on the internet. The one thing it does have is a wonderful pub, lovely friendly staff and locals, prices perfect and food of good restaurant quality with a lovely quiet beer garden around the back with birds to watch nesting out of the wind that sometimes comes over the harbour. By the end of our stay we did not want to leave. The beach is dog friendly and literally on your doorstep for lots of burning of energy or just shell hunting. We did have 5 days of full sun throughout which of course always helps and we took the local bus out on trips but if you want to adventure out there are plenty of places to explore around we were just happy to sit, rest and enjoy the scenery. If you are passing this way or looking for a total recharge of batteries this is the place to be. Just make sure you have sufficient supplies (as we did ) unless you want to go out shopping or eat In The pub ( which serves all day from breakfast)you will come unstuck with lack of shops. Loved this site and look forward to returning.i have given 1 for families as there does not seem a lot locally. There is a small playground a 15 minute walk away and of course a lovely beach and walks if that is enough to keep your little people happy.

Another great holiday

Yet again another great holiday. A fabulous site with lots to do in the area. As always the wardens were very helpful and informative. Could not recommend more highly. I gave ' Good for Families' four stars only because the water in the bay can be deep at high tide. A hidden gem.

The Browns

This is a beautiful site, Ann and Martin are very helpful nothing is a problem for them, the site is well kept and clean, the entrance to the site is always beautiful along with the views, you have the Harbour Inn two minutes walk from the site which is dog friendly and the food is good, and two miles in Sorbie you have the Pheasant Inn which is an Italian restaurant the owners are a husband and wife team the husband is the chef the food is excellent and delicious freshly cooked and is truly a gem of a place well worth a visit.
