Kirkton Holidays

Liked The dogs were our favourite, the sweetest bunch.

Disliked The young farmer that shouted at us and the dogs for the dogs following us around while we explored after we asked the main farmer if we could walk around. There was no tour like the reviews suggest either which was the main reason we booked. We left early, a real shame. The person that answered the phone was really sweet so it’s a shame that one person ruined it.

From the manager: We are very sorry your experience was a disappointment.
Because we were so quiet we actually had the buggy in for its yearly service so unable to do tours.
I think the dogs were maybe in the fields with stock where they shouldn’t have been but we have had a word with him and hopefully resolved the situation.
Again our apologies. We did refund you your full amount an apology.

Liked Loved every minute of my stay, made special by the hosts. A working farm and a fabulous location. Small and sufficient, level pitches, electric hook-up. A welcome alternative to larger less personable sites close by. Even got to meet the Highland cows - fabulous.

From the manager: Hi. Disappointed with you giving a Review as above, specially as you never stayed.
When you booked, I sent a email to yourselves as some folk miss reading all our description which explains we don’t have facilities apart from electric hookup.
You arrived about 4pm and our son noticed you had a roof tent, he asked if you had facilities and you said “no” he replied asking what were you going to do for the bathroom and you replied we have just been, but who doesn’t need the bathroom from 4pm until about 10am in the morning??
On Our site you have to be self contained.
I also sent an email to yourselves after you left apologising about the situation and even though we don’t normally do it offered to refund you. You’ve never written back.
Please read the descriptions fully next time, incase you get caught out again.
Juanella and Willie.

Liked Everything about it was great. Will was a wonderful host, great to chat to and learn about the local area.
We went on the buggy tour which was great? 4 x 50 uear olds turned into kids for a few hours. Fabulous to meet all the animals but Colin the calf and the highland cows were a real treat. We could see and hear deer rutting in the distance. For us, this campsite experience was a definite highlight to our NC500 tour ✨️ The fabulous communal space meant we could have a glass of wine with cheese and biscuits evening too. We purchased some beef burgers and sausages made at the farm for our journey onwards and enjoyed those on a bbq the following night with the left over Stilton!! Pinch us, we're in NC500 heaven 😂 ....thank you Will and family.

Liked We were greeted by the most adorable guests...a horde of border collies. Kirkton was a lovely campsite to stop at for the night, it had wonderful views and the area was really quiet for a peaceful nights sleep. There was also a common area if you preferred to relax in there rather than your van. We took a little walk to visit the pigs on site as well and the hosts were incredibly helpful.

Disliked Nothing.

Liked Quiet, peaceful, secluded, the views. Just us and one other motorhome. Though a working farm, I didn't feel like there was noise that disturbed us and because the pitches are in a gated area, you felt separated from the farm even though it's just around the corner. The owner has a well furnished small cabin, where you can buy their own sausages and burgers at a very reasonable price for what you get. There's also some seating and a hand wash basin.
We took our two collies and the owner allowed us to use the field opposite to let them off unleashed.
It was so nice to have them play fetch with amazing sunrise views.

The farm does have 6 working Collie dogs, all of whom are unleashed but very friendly. There was the youngest looking 15 year old Collie I've ever seen who has retired, that just loves the attention.

Liked Our host was wonderfully friendly and accommodating. There was history of the farm in the area which we really liked. The animals especially the eight border collies were wonderful and they took me for a walk! It was peaceful, tranquil and everything you needed all too soon we had to move on Because of our schedule. I wish we hadn’t act leave thank you very much.

Disliked Absolutely nothing everything was perfect
