Liked: Very friendly family run site Back to basics camping Relaxed farm vibe (if you like regimented campsites with lots of rules and regulations, this is probably not the site for you!) Other reviews say no phone signal but we had full signal on EE. None on O2 though. Love the goats and hens 🐐🐓
Disliked: Nothing really
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: What a lovely review and thank you so much! Delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and meeting all the farm animals. We do hope that you visit again in the near future. Kind regards Katie

Liked: The welcome and kindness of our hosts (we had a problem with our van and despite being so busy over a Bank Holiday, we were helped without reservation). The setting is beautiful on a working farm amidst gentle countryside, yet only ten minutes away from the seaside resort of Largs.
Disliked: Nothing
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for the lovely review and we were delighted to be able to help! I think it took Chris about 2 mins to sort once he identified the problem! I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to seeing you again in the future. Kind regards Katie and Chris

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Friendly quiet site, easy to find from Largs, lovely friendly site owners Toilets and showers were new, really clean with hot water
Disliked: Vans were close together due to weather and originally advised couldn’t park on the grass so cramped together
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for the review and for staying with us at South Whittlieburn Farm. I apologise for it being slightly more cramped but I had to move our bookings that were on grass to hard standing where possible due to the terrible wet weather we have been having and the upcoming weather forecast. I thought I was better to do that than have to cancel peoples bookings last minute! I do hope we can welcome you again in the future when the weather is kinder to us all! Best wishes Katie
