Lovely week kept site overlooking cow field. Really peaceful location. Our pitches were in a field at the back away from the children's play area which was lovely for an adult only break. Toilet block clean and tidy. No noise after hours despite a wedding occuring in the main building. Enjoyed a meal out at the sun inn only a 6 minute drive away. Highly recommend and can't wait to pop back with the kids!

Nothing but be prepared for a drive to anywhere local/shops/pubs etc

Pitch size, amazing views, well kept grounds, good location for exploring Solway Firth, good facilities, ideal for families

Campsite cat kept getting in our tent, husband seriously allergic to cats, we complained site owner didn’t understand our issue, we didn’t see the cat again so assume they kept it indoors, music from wedding reception really too noisy and spoilt the peace of the sits

Play areas, excellent toilets and showers beautiful grounds and views, friendly staff - the perfect campsite!

Arrived to a warm welcome from Michelle, who personally showed us our pitch and explained the facilities on the site.

Beautiful area, great for dogs, well thought out.

This was our very first camping trip, and was amazed by the shower facilities, it was like having your own en suite to walk into. The showers remained hot throughout the whole shower, great pressure, far better than what I have back home. They even have a heater to keep your towel warm.

After driving 7 hours we would have appreciated a sign with a pointy arrow showing where reception was. This is only because by the time you get there you are so tired you don't want to think about anything. You want it nice and easy.

We would have welcomed the 10.30pm walk around, as our neighbours had a fire pit which went on until the early hours of the morning. We get everyone's on holiday and not wanting to be a fun sponge we didn't say anything. But you could hear everything at night, the voices are amplified. Hence we were tired most days.

The grass seemed quite long across the whole area, so when it was wet so were your shoes even before you left the site.

On another note, we didn't realise the driving distance to get to the lakes every day. With the price of fuel we would have been better picking a central point, and having everything around us. Being new to camping we are learning as we go along.

Lovely grounds, beautiful trees and views. Very well equipped site, amazing toilet/shower individual blocks and the fridge freezers were a real bonus.

Nothing

lovely area. brilliant views of the country side. lovely staff the lady we met at the beginning when we checked in gave us a tour. would return in a heartbeat.

to be honest nothing i can think of in this category. everything was amazing

The farm house area.

Lack of enforcing quiet time rule for guests - guests loud until 1am.
Not as well kept appearance as the photos suggest.

Location - close to plenty of local attractions and areas

Pop up pub on site (a few nights a week)

Laser tag - Excellent

The roadways around the site are hardcore stones, some with very sharp edges, feet and tyres affected during visit.
Grass around the camping pitches were not cut at all, making it look very untidy and wet when it had rained or morning dew.
Toilet block near the far camping pitches were a low standard, in the ladies the doors did not lock or shut properly, taps were loose and the hand towel dispenser worked for 1 day out of 6 and I had to go and ask for the toilet paper to be refilled in all the toilets on site.
The basins in the toilet block were only just big enough to wash hands and do teeth, you couldn't use them for washing your face.
Some of the shower blocks had water supply issues, which meant if someone was washing their pots outside the water in the shower turned off.
Finally, they had a Pizza night where a Local van comes onto site. The information said from 6.30pm, so we turned up at 6.30 to order and were told the earliest we could be served was 7.50pm, due to pre-orders they had already taken. This was not publicised, so new comers were left waiting whilst all the regulars got served.
