Peaceful and lovely site

We arrived at New England Bay on 31 July and stayed for 3 nights as part of our tour of Scotland. Lovely clean site excellent toilet block very friendly staff good local knowledge. We cycled to the Mull of Galloway which is quite a ride and quite a climb on the way but lovely views and well worth it when you get there. Nearby Port Logan is a nice little place but there is nothing there in the way of shops ,pubs ,tea rooms which is a shame. The site is perfect for the beach and if it's peace and quiet with a close beach then this site is perfect but I don't think I could do much more there 3 nights was adequate.

A Place in the Best part of Scotland

When I left the M74 heading for New England Bay I didn't expect the A75 to so long and arduous; moreover, I got a surprise to find little chance to get some fuel along the way!! However, I suppose I could say that the journey was well worth it because the site was everything that others have reviewed. Friendly staff a great location and even fish and chips on a Friday night. Facilities were clean and easy to find and the peace and quiet was something to behold. All in all a very pleasant experience.

Seascape

The first and abiding impression of this site is space and sea. Stretched along the edge of New England Bay, this idyllic site exudes peace and tranquillity. The wardens keep a tidy well run site, with imaginative ornamentation decorating the reception area. A beach side site, it is ideal for shore walks and water sports and fishing. Only a few miles from the most southerly point in Scotland, we visited the lighthouse, RSPB centre and restaurant at the Mull of Galloway. Port Logan is a lovely hamlet on the west of the Peninsula, and Logan Botanical Gardens displays many semi tropical plants which grow well in the temperate climate unique to this area thanks to the proximity of the Gulf Stream. This somewhat isolated site is well worth a visit.

Great place to stay

Thoroughly enjoyed three nights in our Scottish summer (the rain started the day we left!). Lovely location, liked the random nature of the pitches. Facilities well kept and clean. Friendly welcome. Torture for the dog because of all the rabbits and having to be on a lead !

Top Drawer

We just had a 3 day stay at New England bay. On arrival the staff were super friendly and very welcoming. We found a great spot right in front the beach and the pitch was easily long enough for our 10m American RV. We had our three GK's with us and within five minutes of getting set up the youngest fell of his bike and cut his eyelid....Great start ! Well,news travelled fast and in short order one of the wardens came over to our pitch and very kindly offered to run the little tyke to the hospital in Stranraer to get him checked out. Back he came not too worse for wear with just a little plaster above his eye. Many thanks indeed to the staff, I wasn't relishing the thought getting there in the RV. So, to the park. What a lovely site it is, there are some nice secluded single unit pitches if that's your style to open field type pitches and a good few that face the sea not 20 yds from the lovely beach. The pitches are well kept, the site overall is exceptionally tidy and the facilities clean. We had four dogs with us and as a dog lover it was nice to see a few more visitors with multiple numbers of mutts as well. Can't rate this site and the staff highly enough and we can't wait to return for another go......hospital visit aside. Many thanks.

Fantastic

Has to be one of the best sites we have stayed at in 13 years ! Great welcome from the Wardens usual high standard with the facilities. The Wardens are fighting a never ending battle with the rabbits so watch out for the holes. Pitches are well kept and some of the most spacious we have encountered and best of all not regimented. Superb for the dogs straight onto the beach and the views and scenery are amazing. The site was quite full but had a really nice holiday feel to it. Easy to find and good access - it's quite a drive for most but most definitely worth it - a must on our list to return

Perfect pitch

This is the loveliest place we've stayed. Wardens really helpful and friendly and the pitches are large and varied in outlook. We managed to get right on the beach level, just seconds walk through the dunes to miles of dog friendly beach. No bus service so we stayed on site but didn't matter as we didn't need to go anywhere else. Chippy, fresh fish and lovely bakery van visit. A long way from Wiltshire but worth it.

Holiday 2016

On arrival at the site we were greeted by the friendly and helpful warden and after a little drive round we found a nice pitch. The site itself is located in one of the most scenic places I have ever stayed with views over the sea to the hills of the mainland and further if the weather is good. The site is ideal for anyone interested in water sports and dog owners like us can take their dogs onto the beautiful beach for their exercise. The site itself is kept to the usual high standards of the club. There are quite a few rabbits on the site so you have to be careful that you don't encounter a hole and twist your ankle but its not all that much of a problem. We had a great time during our stay and I would definitely make a return visit.

Our chilling holiday

My husband and I with out 3 dogs stayed at New Endland Bay Caravan Park for 10 days in July. The staff that we checked in with was so nice and helpful making the start for our holiday easy. We were able to pick out pitch and set up where ever we liked. All pitches has got plenty of room. The whole place was so well maintained with the great staff all the rabbit holes were filled in all the time to safe any accidents with all those rabbits making in a full time job for them. Sight was busy but it always seemed so quiet making it so easy to chill and relax. The toilet facilitays were always clean the showers,curtains all matched and looked lovely. The little shop had all the essentials and with the chipper van coming round also the bread and fish vans which was a great touch. We will certainly be going back again.

The beach to yourself.

We stayed at the New England Bay site for 6 nights, we arrived to wet and windy weather and it took four of us to get the awning up, once it was up it was fine, a friendly gentleman from another pitch and my dad, who was also staying, helped. We then enjoyed 5 days of great weather. The site is large and spacious, as this was our first visit we went on the second row for a sea view but there are many secluded and private pitches towards the back of the site. Logan Bakehouse visit on Wednesday morning with freshly baked goods - bread, croissants, pan au chocolate, crumble tarts, the list is endless and of course fresh bread cakes (cobs, barms, cakes, rolls - whatever you happen to call them). There is also a fresh fish van on Thursdays and a fish and chip van on Tuesdays and Fridays. There isn't much of a phone or TV signal but the wifi works great. As our dog loves beaches we really could have stayed on site for the whole six days, exercise on the beach and a swim and relaxing at the caravan. There is the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse to visit with an RSPCA centre and cafe too, great toasted sandwiches and scones and cream. Dogs can only sit outside though, it was very windy so we ate our lunch in the car. Portpatrick has a fish and chip van and a few hotels/pubs to eat and drink at, though the Pottery had hardly any pottery for sale. Locals sell eggs and the biggest lettuces you have seen in a while for just 40p. Drunmore has a shop to stock up and Stranrear has petrol and large supermarkets. Port Logan is small and has a CL site, there was lots of jelly fish on this beach though so we didn't go back - but the beach on site was much better and bigger anyway. Each toilet block had Swallows nesting, one nest in the pot wash, rabbits everywhere, you could count around 20 or more out of each window. This has to be one of our favourite sites. Great for dogs who love the beach and humans who only need a few places to visit or could spend all their time on site. We will be returning soon.
