Very gracious and hospitable host. Staff were very friendly and approachable. Stunning location and the green shepherd's hut is lovely. Cosy and private. Amazing location for central Scotland and Glasgow. Stayed here for 11 nights with work and will be looking to bring the wife with me (holiday next time) the next time.
Lovely little campsite

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesMar 2025
This is a lovely little campsite with a welcoming, friendly and inclusive vibe. A lovely mix of longer-term residents and tourists.
It is a dog friendly site with guests respectful of each other - this attitude is lead and encouraged by the site owner and staff. The communal areas are beautifully set out, homely and clean. This is my second visit and will not be my last! Many thanks again for a lovely stay.
Wow, what a gem of a place

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesMar 2025
Wow, wow, wow. What a stunning stop off this place is. I didn't want to leave. The staff are all relaxed and very friendly. I was taken around the facilities when booking in so I knew exactly where everything was.
The showers are separate rooms with their own toilet, sink and plenty of room to manoeuvre. Lots of hot water on tap and not one of those push button showers that you have to lean up against to make it stay on.
The lounge and dinning area is called The Club House but to be honest sitting in the lounge makes you feel as if you are in a castle with eons of history all around. Incredibly comfortable with a log burner to keep toasty and enough reading material to last all year.
Exceptionally clean, relaxed, peaceful and a incredible weekend treat that we will be back to enjoy again.
