There is lots to do onsite for all the family. There is a games room with board games, snooker and soft play for all to enjoy. Or, practice some golf with the crazy golf, the pitch and putt, or even the putting green.

For those wanting to completely unwind, there is a sauna room and heated jacuzzi. There is also an outdoor swimming pool for guests to enjoy during the summer months, as well as a splash pool and fun slide for the little ones to enjoy. For all year round fun there is an outdoor play park to entertain children.

If you want to venture outside the park there are some great coastal walks from the site. A 10 minute drive from site is St Ninians cave and its rocky beach for a fun day out skimming stones and splashing in the sea. Or there is a coastal path straight from the site, although the track is quite close to the cliff edge so is not suitable for buggies.

Other nearby beaches include a 25 minute drive to Rigg bay or St Medans beach, so take a picnic and enjoy the caves and rock pools at low tide!

In the opposite direction, you can take a 50 minute walk, or 5 minute drive to the quaint seaside village of the Isle of Whithorn where you can enjoy local restaurants, a tearoom, or the local art gallery. Here you can also visit the roundhouse to learn more about St Ninian and his pilgrimage.

Have a day out visiting the Mull of Galloway and its lighthouse, the most southerly point of Scotland! An hour and 15 minute drive from the site.

The local beaches and the rocks at Burrowhead allow sea fishing, so bring your rod!

  • Galloway House Gardens (20 minutes)
  • Monreith Animal World (20 minutes)
