Relaxing at New England Bay

Good site and facilities which I never had to queue for. Its a lovely site for just chilling out in or by you outfit and the beach is lovely (mixture of pebbles and sand) with good views. The coastal path is at either end of the Site. There are lovely walks, some from the Site and some in the area. There are a host of gardens to visit and the countryside and coast just has to be explored. There are lighthouses and cafes to visit and The Mull of Galloway is the most southerly tip of Scotland which in good weather offers views of Cumbria, Isle of Man and Ireland. Dumfries and Galloway is a large area often passed by by people travelling south to England or north further into Scotland - many don't know what they're missing.

Beautiful location

We stayed 11 nights on this wonderful site. We had done research to book a site that suits us (without hard standings!!!) This informal site is perfect and the area is beautiful. Loads of places to visit and Mull of Galloway and Southern Uplands Trials to walk. Unfortunately some of the Mull of Galloway trial around the site needed trimming back so don't expect to walk in shorts. Great to switch off, relax and enjoy in a friendly location. We did not use facilities so dropped a star as we could not guarantee they are 5*.

So peaceful and wonderful beach!

Such a beautiful and peaceful site. Our lab couldn't contain his excitement every morning and late at night for his run on the beach. Lots of rabbits (cute), it was a little windy but we were sheltered from the bushes. The shower block was slightly outdated but it didn't matter. Wardens really friendly. Would definitely recommend.... no wifi was also a blessing.

Would definitely return

We spent 48 hours at this lovely site and were very impressed. Pitches are a good size and shielded by bushes, very clean facilities and a beautiful location, we'd certainly come back - though the excellent weather also helped. We noted a complaint from another recent resident about the overgrown bushes - we thought the natural look was very appropriate to the location. Wonderful view of the stars on a clear night.

Natural Site

Overall a fairly pleasing site but when it is windy, it is very windy (nothing to be done about that though!) Very friendly wardens who had a good local knowledge and were happy to share the same. Although the site is kept quite tidy the wardens were not seen much other than collecting the rubbish etc each morning. Part of the site's beauty is that it is 'natural' but many of the pitches could do with some severe levelling, it is hard to see how anyone could actually pitch on some of them. Rats are quite a problem and we did report it to the wardens - although they did appear a little reluctant to believe us!! Toilet blocks not really large enough for the size of the site, with only 3 showers in each block this is not really enough for a site this size. Although the toilet blocks appeared clean and tidy more attention could be given to under the units in the privacy cubicles. A good overall update needed for both toilet blocks. The site is quite remote but any research will already have shown this, but this is made up for by the beautiful scenery all around this area. A good site for young families who like the beach but not much for older children, our 11 year old was going stir crazy for internet/phone etc. I would return but not with an awning because of the winds and would not take an older child.

Nine Happy Days

Went for a peaceful week and that is what we got. Wall to wall sunshine for 7 our of 9 days which was very lucky. Would visit again without any problem. Wardens were all new at this site and the assistants were much better than "The Warden". He did not have the "oomph" that the assistants had.

Park needs attention

I have been on this sight three weeks recently unfortunately thissitenow needs a bit of attention I have spotted rats on a couple of occasions I think this needs attention only saw the warden once on site didn't bother complaining about this as spoke to a follow caravanner who had already done so  hedges surrounding pitches are badly needing trimmed brambles etc trailing onto pathways such a shame as was a good site

Mixed Feelings

I recently returned from this park, 1 day early. It is a lovely area and the park could be much better. I was disappointed at the lack of gardening, trimming of wind breakers and clearly no vermin procedures. The park is full of rabbits and birds, which is nice, but to sit in my awning and spot not 1 but 2 rats coming out undergrowth right next to my van is unacceptable. The plants are not maintained, there is brambles, raspberries, lupins, ferns and gorse bushes taller than a small person (5ft) they are not thinned out and brambles stretch out over paths. This would help in minimising rodents. These area's are at least 20 feet across, you wouldn't walk in it, surely good caravan space.  I certainly wouldn't go back here with the park in this state. I did tell one warden there was a dead rabbit on one path and asked if he moves them, the reply I got was only if they find them! So how many are dead in bushed area's?  It wasn't all bad Wardens I met were friendly, although I didn't see much of them on site except in office. I was there 12 nights. Beach is beautiful Rabbits, birds etc lovely to see around park. Great nature haven. Great that local produce can be bought on site too. Rodents I know are there, but they should be controlled.
