  • Quiet, small-scale aire 15 minutes' walk from Dalry town centre
  • Scottish Maritime Museum 20 minutes’ drive and Glasgow 40 minutes
  • Fairlie Moor walks from the pitches; simple and dog-friendly
Whether you’re island-hopping on the west coast of Scotland or just passing through Ayrshire, Auld Broadlie Aire is a handy little touring site. It's a short drive from key ferry terminals: Ardrossan (15 minutes' drive) for ferries to Arran, Largs (20 minutes) for ferries to Millport and Wemyss Bay (35 minutes) for boats to Bute. To add to that, it's a half-hour walk from Dalry train station for trains to Glasgow and other splendid Scottish destinations. On site, the hardstanding pitches are designed for self-contained motorhomes. They have a water connection, plus access to a few picnic tables for eating outdoors. The site is simple and dog-friendly, and there’s plenty of room in the large garden to take them for a quick sniff around; longer woodland walks are in the local area. Speaking of the local area, Auld Broadlie Aire is a 15-minute walk from Dalry town centre, which is convenient for stocking up on basics at the shops and artisan bakery. The town has pubs serving local food and a popular takeaway, too.

Liked Hosts were wonderful. Helped us to fill up with water, were very accommodating to our tiny terriorists (Jack Russell’s) and were generally incredibly friendly and welcoming. They even very quickly repaid me the £170 my fat fingers overpaid them. Lovely place, won’t hesitate to return if we visit the area again

Loved the chickens wandering around.
20 minute walk from the railway station.
Not a dislike but I do think it could get quite crowded if there were many more visitors.

Local attractions

If you enjoy walking, you can be out on Fairlie Moor in 10 minutes’ stroll from the pitches, or hike up to the stunning Lynn Falls (half an hour on foot) for a looped walk through the glen that’s well-suited to kids too. The Velvet Path Walk starts and finishes at Dalry Public Park (20 minutes) and leads you past relics of the area’s mining and textile-manufacturing heritage. Learn more about North Ayrshire’s industrial past at the intriguing The Museum of Ayrshire Country Life and Costume (10 minutes’ drive), sited in a Victorian watermill and laid out with elaborate costumes in period rooms. If your interest stretches to nautical history too, the Scottish Maritime Museum (20 minutes) has a fine collection of wooden boats at the former Linthouse shipyard. When a day in the big city comes calling, you can be in Glasgow in 40 minutes by car; two of its star attractions are Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum for its peerless works by Salvador Dalí and Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and the Riverside Museum, which has interactive displays on transport history.
