Auchenlarie Holiday Park

Liked Great location right by the sea, which made it easy to get out for walks. The site has good facilities – the pool, restaurant and playground were all solid.

The grass was well kept and the main toilet/shower blocks were close by, modern and clean. Showers had warm water, which is always a plus.

The pitch sizes were good and each had own electricity and water supply.

Communication from the site was clear and helpful by email and accommodated additional requests. Overall, ok place to stay.

Disliked The pitch wasn’t as clean as it could have been when we arrived, with some litter left behind from previous campers, which was a bit disappointing—especially as the communal grass areas were much better maintained.

The site is near a small wooded area with a lot of crows, so there was quite a bit of noise at times (though that’s obviously not something the site can control). The tent pitches are also fairly close to a main road, so you do hear traffic.

It’s a very busy site, which might suit some people, but it wasn’t really what we were looking for. The smaller toilet block also felt more dated and had a few issues with the floor and toilet seats.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We're really pleased to hear you enjoyed our seafront location, facilities, and found our team’s communication helpful. It’s great to know the pitches, amenities, and cleanliness of the main facilities met your expectations.

We’re sorry to hear that your pitch wasn’t as clean as it should have been on arrival. That’s certainly not the standard we aim for, and we’ll be addressing this with our team to ensure improvements are made. We also appreciate your comments regarding the smaller toilet block and will take these on board as part of our ongoing maintenance plans.

Thank you as well for your understanding regarding the natural surroundings and nearby road. As a busy, family-friendly site, we appreciate it may not suit everyone, but your feedback is really valuable in helping future guests make informed choices.

We do hope to welcome you back in the future and provide an even better experience.

Liked Site was clean and tidy, toilets regularly maintained to a good standard, lots of parks and grassy areas for kids to play on. Polite and approachable staff across the board. We loved the stream running behind our camping spot, the beach was beautiful and the hill down from the onsite shop to the campsite gave beautiful views. Palm trees and the vast panoramic view of the sea made me question whether I was in Scotland or Spain! Swimming pool changing rooms and toilets were nipping clean. Shop well stocked, Costa machine is a lovely touch and if you have a sweet tooth, get your hands on a Toffee Flake slice by Sharon’s Bakes, you won’t be disappointed.

Disliked Food at Tide and Table restaurant majorly overpriced for the quality, 2 adults and 1 kids fish and chips cost nearly £60. Turned up at 5pm without booking since we were unaware this was the process, plenty empty tables but told to book online. Earliest booking was 6pm. Our son ended up vomiting during the night and the very expensive fish covered both our sleeping bags and the airbed! A trip to the laundrette (a very welcomed onsite facility at this point) was needed the next day. Almost £5 for some washing pods, £11 in total for the washing machine and £6 in total for the dryer left us over £20 and half a day down. A very expensive meal and aftermath. The heated pool was freezing cold with no lifeguard, and the rowdy teenagers throwing each other around made it difficult to enjoy with our 5 year old. Softplay wasn’t up to much and again, older kids blocking the way for the younger ones. Overall a decent, clean site with a variety of things to do, as long as you have plenty of money to spend and don’t mind the typical caravan kid cliques, and are quick to jump out of the way of electric scooters!

We’re really pleased to hear how much you enjoyed the cleanliness of the site, the facilities, and the natural surroundings. It’s lovely to know that the views, beach, and little touches like the shop and local bakes made your stay feel special. Your kind comments about our team are especially appreciated we’ll be sure to pass those on.

We’re very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay.

We’re also sorry to hear about your son being unwell and we hope he is feeling much better now.

We appreciate your comments on the laundrette costs, pool temperature, and supervision, as well as the challenges with older children in shared spaces. These are all areas we continually review, and your feedback helps us identify where improvements can be made to ensure a more comfortable experience for families.

Thank you again for your honest feedback. We’re glad you found many aspects of the park enjoyable, and we do hope to welcome you back in the future for an even better stay.

Liked Lovely location, beautiful view out to sea, the entertainment for kids was fab, swimming facilities were clean, the soft play and outdoor play area good for young kids. All the staff were friendly.

Disliked A very minor point and nothing that can be done, but there is hundreds of crows in the trees next to the camping section and are very loud from 4am, its nature at the end of the day, and really didn't bother us too much but it was loud enough to wake us.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the location, sea views, and that the children had such a great time with the entertainment and play areas. It’s also great to know our team made a positive impression we’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to them.

We appreciate you mentioning the early morning chorus from the local wildlife too. As you said, it’s part of the natural surroundings, but we understand it can be a little early when on holiday.

We hope to welcome you and your family back again soon for another enjoyable stay.
