Stunning Location

This site is a bit of a trek to reach, but well worth the effort. Right on the beach, most of the pitches have some sort of sea view. Ground a bit uneven but well drained. Beach is a bit rocky/pebbly but once the tide has gone out, there is a vast expanse of hard, smooth, clean sand. Great for the kids. For dog owners, there is a walk along the top of the beach area/dunes or wait until the tide goes out. Also just off site in the picnic area. Minor problem for dog owners is the number of rabbits - there's hundreds of them. Our dog (and cat) went mental trying to get out at them. Lots of interesting little places to go and visit around here although the closest shop for papers or anything you've forgotten is 4 miles away in Drummore. The views from the most Southerly point in Scotland, at the Mull of Galloway, are astonishing and well worth the drive. Toilets on site, as always, were spotless and the wardens a treat to chat to. The fish and chip van calls on Tuesdays and Fridays and I can honestly say that they are the best, for taste and value, that I have ever tasted in almost 40 years. Fantastic! One of the most relaxing sites I have visited and I'll definitely be back.

All Good but for the Wifi

We spent a few days on this peaceful site. Glorious sunshine for most of the time. The pitches are nicely secluded and sheltered apart from the ones on the front row which have views over the bay. It's a bird lovers paradise. Great dog walks. Fish n chip van comes Tuesday and Friday. Ferry Fish van comes on Wednesday. Bunnies are all over the site. Funny to watch. Toilets and shower facilities spotlessly clean. Wifi signal pretty poor. Many thanks to the two wardens who helped us get a good tv picture. Nothing was any bother to them.Ā  Great food at the Tigh Na Mara Hotel in Sandhead which is only a short drive away. We also visited the Gallie Craig Restraunt at the Mull of Galloway. Food served was lovely and reasonably priced. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax and unwind then look no further than New England Bay.

The Best

I have to say this site is horrible, do not go there, I want to keep it for myself! It is without a doubt one of the BEST sites in the club network, if not the best sight. We stayed for 10 days over Easter as we do most years, it is brilliant for quiet, dog walking, cleanliness. Layout is so well done it never feels like a big site even though it is. Plenty of places to go, Portpatrick being one.

Easter Weekend

Lovely, quiet site. Great beach for walking the dogs. Only stayed for the weekend, but visited Portpatrick and the Mull of Galloway lighthouse, well worth the effort. Only hiccup was a dirty shower, why were mops changed out for pretty useless scrapers on Club sites?

Just checked out the mop story. Hygiene reasons.

Quiet location

New England Bay site enjoys the participation of friendly and professional staff. There are great views to be seen from the site and if you have your form of transport there are even more stunning views to be seen within a few miles of the site, as in Galloway Point and all the wonderful gardens around the area which are well worth a visit.

New England Bay Caravan Club Site Review 2015

Great site our second visit. Nice to be near the beach which makes easy to walk the dogs. The site is well set out and plenty of room between vans. The only downside I have found is the internet which constantly keeps dropping out. If you were hoping to work while away using the internet I would say don't think about it. Also if your on 02 you can't get phone signals not sure about others. If you just want a peaceful break then you can't beat it. Im sure we will go back again.

Wi-Fi and Surface Water

This site remains our favourite for just getting away from it all, friendly site staff and lovely setting! It has been a wet winter and the adjacent farmer has dug drainage ditches and seen fit to flow an awful lot of water into the adjacent picnic area which last weekend flowed over the site access completely flooding it and a link footpath to Port Logan. Other parts of the run-off are affecting some pitches and the staff are doing their best to cope but the site was overall a lot damper this time round. The club needs to take some swift legal action to address this. Also, like many people we like being connected to the internet but the Wi-Fi system on the site is slow and I don't think it is good value for money at the moment. Could be the distance from an exchange in which case, members should be made aware of its lack of quality.
