Motorhome - Serviced Hardstanding Touring PitchesFeb 2024

This has to be one of the prettiest sites I have stayed at. The A75 can be a bit noisy when the ferries come in as the wagons seem to travel in convoy from Stranraer, but if you're in the lower touring section, it's fine - even up the top I think it'd be ok. It was absolutely fine overnight! The facilities are spotless and there's loads of showers and toilets. The showers are proper showers too. No ridiculous button to press!!! The sports bar isn't chic, but it's like a blissful blast from the past and stacked full of TVs and a recovered (looks like new) pool table. The entertainment venue is sport on for what it is. We tended to be in the sports bar though. Take away food is made from the main kitchen, it's fine, but we tended to cook - quite simple stuff, not stupid expensive but not cheap. The restaurant/bar has incredible views, words don't do the view justice. Drinks are reasonable for a holiday park. The shop on site is really well stocked. Not as cheap as your local super market, but very reasonable process considering its location, and a fraction of most large holiday parks. We'll definitely be back, I think they've got a perfect sweet spot of making money but not ripping the customer off. We all loved it and are really looking forward to coming back.

This park has everything. Beautiful views - the pictures online do not do it justice. We were blown away with the attention to detail. Very impressive.

Fantastic, clean and attractive

Me, my wife and our 2 kids stayed. Facilities were fantastic, location was beautiful and the views was fantastic. There was only 1 minor issue. I rated standard of service 3 stars, only due to the dinner. They only do pizzas for take away after a certain time, which we found a bit awkward with my son being a very picky eater ,with certain food he can't eat (he had no food for nearly 14 hours). We asked if we could order a pizza to sit in with us while we had food from the same restaurant, but was told he would have to sit outside 🤷‍♂️ I did raise my concerns with the restaurant manager and after been told multiple times we could not eat it in the restaurant we finally come to an arrangement. This is the only campsite I have been to where you can't order pizza to sit in the restaurant. Although the campsite was fantastic I would probably look for another campsite that would accommodate less picky eaters.
