Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: The view from our pitch was amazing, even in the slightly rainy weather! The site as a whole was immaculate and well looked after. The coastal path walk from the site takes you into Portpatrick in about 10/15 mins with more great views along the way. Toilet block is locked by code which is great. Will definitely be back. Dog friendly too!
Disliked: Would be great if there was maybe a playpark to keep the younger ones occupied.

Liked: Amenities very good and clean. Felt very safe as a solo traveller. Views from camper awesome. Quick walk along coast to local village. Easy access to coastal walks. Very peaceful.
Disliked: A bit of a grey area, for some neighbours who had larger vehicles or caravans, on pitch size and where they could park up to.

Liked: I'd like to start with the positive. The location of the site is incredibly beautiful, the coast path in both directions is an experience, and the proximity to the pretty town of Portpatrick is fantastic. The staff who welcomed us were also super friendly and flexible.
Disliked: Now for the criticism. The sanitary facilities unfortunately don't live up to the otherwise positive atmosphere. The dishwashing area is a disgrace. This needs to be improved.
