Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for your review, we’re really glad you enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and found the facilities clean.
Just to let you know for next time, there is a hot water tap inside the shower room that you’re welcome to use for filling your washing up bowl with hot water. Most of our guests also find it handy to boil a kettle/pan of water at their pitch. Unfortunately, we’re unable to install an electric water heater outside in our washing up area due to health and safety regulations, but we hope the other options help keep things comfortable.
Hope to welcome you back soon.
Best wishes

Positiv: We loved the location. Beautiful and relaxing next to the river and the walk in the forest was fantastic. We even walked into the town and met some locals. The shower works perfectly and 2 toilets.
Nothing to complain about at all.

Positiv: Quiet peaceful location
Clean toilet/shower facilities
Firewood/kindling/firelighters available to purchase (we forgot to bring)

Was our first time camping as a family and was perfect for a wee 1 night retreat

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear your first family camping trip was a success and that our little spot made for a peaceful retreat.
So glad the facilities were up to scratch and the firewood bits came in handy, we keep them stocked just for situations like that. Hope it’s the first of many more camping adventures, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.

Positiv: Lovely site, well kept and clean. Location was great and price was fair.

Negativ: No dislikes, would have been nice to have an area that our dog could have been off lead but this wasn't a major problem.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased you enjoyed the site, found everything clean and well-kept, and felt it was good value.
We completely understand your point about the dog area, dogs do need to be kept on a lead while onsite for the comfort and safety of all our guests, other dogs and nearby livestock. That said, the surrounding woodlands are perfect for off-lead exploring, so there’s still plenty of space for a good run around!
Thanks again for your feedback, and we’d love to welcome you (and your pup!) back anytime.

Positiv: My favourite place to chuck up a tent, light a wee fire and chill under the stars. Lauren is always so welcoming and the stunning views and relaxing sounds of the birds singing and the horses playing just make it such a nice place to be. Looking forward to coming back already!

Vom Platzbetreiber: This absolutely made our day, thank you! We’re so happy to be your favourite spot for a tent, a wee fire, and some proper stargazing. It’s always a pleasure to welcome you, and we’re so glad the views, birdsong, and horses add to the magic for you. Can’t wait to have you back again soon for more peaceful nights under the stars.

Positiv: Easy to find and quite secluded, lovely greeting from Lauren. Hardstanding pitches are perfect, a little levelling may be required depending on your motorhome. Proximity to Dumfries House is the main draw but is perfect for a stopover if passing.
Lovely to see the horses in the field.

Negativ: Extra charge of £5 per night for use of shower and toilet

Becomes quite expensive for an Aire

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting, level pitches, and our warm welcome. It was a pleasure having you stay with us.

We understand that the additional charge for shower, toilets, and dogs may not suit everyone, but as a UK Aire, we’re designed primarily for self-contained motorhomes and campervans with their own onboard facilities. Not everyone needs to use them, so rather than including them in the standard pitch fee, we keep the base rate lower and offer them as optional extra for those who choose to use them.

We hope to welcome you back again in the future.
Safe travels.
Lauren & Aaron
