Auchenlarie Holiday Park

Liked: Well staffed site. Washing and toilet facilities were very good and cleaned regularly. Fantastic views from the pitch we were on. We visited out of school holidays so the site was pleasant and not too busy. A real bonus that they do not charge extra for using an awning. Unlike most other greedy sites.

Liked: Lovely clean site. Stayed in our small motorhome, hardstanding, had water, electric hook up and tv at our pitch as was at all pitches. Little stream at back of pitches so had nice evening water noise during stay. Toilet block is very clean, showers good and hot with good pressure. Area for washing dishes, grey waste, toilet etc Good little shop as you come into the site. Lively little cove with shell beach, just watch the walk going down to it, steep. Site amenities were good when stayed beginning of Sept. Plenty of things still on for kids. Evening entertainment programmes. Found the restaurant was well priced and the food was plentiful and tasty. You order at the bar on screens and they bring it to your numbered table. Was nice to sit outside on the balcony and look out to the sea with a wee cocktail. Staff we found were all polite and helpful so big plus on that. WiFi is available at the pitches but didn't use it as our phones had loads of data. It's a cost to use but easy to set up. Crows are nesting in the trees at the pitches, you will hear them first thing in the morning and I'm sure there are hundreds of them lol Stayed 2 nights and will come again.

Disliked: To be honest we didn't find anything to complain about apart from the walk up the hill to the shop, our legs felt it lol

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed your stay, the beach cove is a great attraction at the park, hope to see you again in the future.

Liked: Stayed in circular touring pitches, in the middle of the site. So, Position of pitches,proximity to facilities, friendly staff. Amazing little beach.the staff were constantly cleaning and looking after the site. It was kept clean and tidy at all times. Great dog walk area. Great position for exploring the area. All in all a great site.

Disliked: Some of the seasonal pitches on the touring site were a bit untidy and ‘tatty looking’ Makeshift fencing round and some a bit scruffy looking and there were one or two in each section so it made the whole area look a bit run down. Some pitches are a bit uneven and you have to put the awing landside which is a shame as people sat the other side of their caravans for the view and the sun. There is always one or two who do not pick up after their dogs!

Liked: The camping facilities are great, spotless toilets and showers and water and electricity point at each pitch. The holiday park has loads to do and evening entertainment. The location is fab, gorgeous views and lovely beach.

Disliked: The crows woke me at 5am first morning but didn't disturb me by the second night.

From the manager: Thanks for taking the time to write a review about your stay and we look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Liked: Clean site considering the challenging weather conditions. Kids entertainment very good. Good on site shop.

Disliked: Auchenlarie is on a very busy main road that serves Stranraer port. Large goods vehicles use this road through the night and hence it can get very noisy. Also the crows that roast in the trees do get noisy early and late in the day.

Liked: Site facilities were all clean and well maintained and the staff were helpful and polite. The grass electric hook up pitch that we were on was flat as requested and not far from the toilet/shower block. There was a well stocked shop on site and a takeaway and restaurant which was a godsend as the weather wasn’t great. The kids loved the pool and soft play area which was included in the fee for the site. There was a good outdoor play area and MUGA pitch although these were some way from the grass tent pitches.

Disliked: No real dislikes but nice to haves would be: I) more hooks for hanging up clothes in the showers (which were lovely and warm and had continuous water flow) . 2) For men, a sink that you could fill with water for shaving. 3) An area where adults could relax with an alcoholic drink within viewing distance of a children play area, e.g. with settees .
