Liked: We loved the beautiful grounds and facilities at Firbank Park! Justine and Archie were fabulous hosts - very welcoming and helpful with local recommendations and tips. Loved the heated toilet room when the snow started to fall too - nothing worse than a frozen bottom! Our children played in the snow for two days, making snowmen and rolling countless snowballs. Loved the open space and gorgeous surroundings. We’ll definitely be back when we’re next in Scotland!

From the manager: Thankyou for the time for leaving a review. I'm sorry you felt we were expensive. The pitch you were on covers a 1/3 of an acre and I suppose we could have packed in many more pitches in our field to reduce the cost of one nights stay but we feel most of our guest appreciate the space. It's true we don't have showers or a restaurant or bar but we are trying to appeal to customers that love the countryside and the walks/cycle tracks direct from our site.
Excellent

Liked: Generously spaced pitches, well kept grounds and beautiful surroundings.
Disliked: Liked everything for a short break but the addition of a shower and pot wash would enhance it and make slightly longer stays better. Don’t like using the shower in our vehicle and doing big dishes is tricky in our tiny sink!

From the manager: Thanks for your review Nerys. We are always looking for ways to improve Firbank Park so many thanks for your suggestions.
