Robert B.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked We loved the location. The park grounds are beautiful and well maintained .
The Laird Inn is good value and the staff were excellent.
This is a great park for young families, but also for dog owners as there is a large dog walk on site .
The Park was very busy during our visit so was quite noisy, however, by 11pm it was very peaceful and we had a good nights sleep .
We didn't use the wi-fi so can't rate it.
Overall good value for money .

Disliked I don't think the toilets and showers were cleaned once over the weekend so by Sunday morning they were filthy and no loo roll . I've seen cleaner portaloos at a music festival !
This wouldn't put us off visiting again, but it did let down an otherwise excellent Park .

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked The location was perfect & having Lairds Inn onsite was a great addition for eating out.

Disliked The pool facilities could be going with a freshen up & shower block could be doing with a regular clean for personal hygiene.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked A fantastic park. Plenty of space to pitch up in Bayview meaning we weren’t really that close to any other tents. Lots of space for the kids to explore. We will definitely be back. Very friendly staff at reception and also the maintenance team.

Disliked A water point at Bayview would be a great addition, walking to the toilet blocks is quite a walk for water.

Michelle W.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked We’ve been here twice now. Outdoor and in pool are great. Campsite very quiet. The only downside is the amount of dog fouling on the campsite. This wasn’t like this last year. I spoke to reception they said it could be swans. It’s definite not swans. I doubt it is campers not cleaning up after their dogs. Could be the owners or people in motor homes.

Disliked Dog fouling

Margaret B.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked It a lovely site, well set up generously sized pitches .
We didn’t use any of the family facilities as we didn’t have children with us, but they appeared to well maintained and were being enjoyed by the children there.
The Lairds Inn was excellent, the food was beautifully cooked and the service was impeccable. I would highly recommend it, but definitely book in advance.
Great dog walking facilities all in all an excellent site for families & adults alike.

Disliked The en-suite toilet facilities although a good idea, there needs to be a way for them to be cleaned after use as they are left in a very messy state.
But more importantly the doors need to have proper locks, as these are unisex facilities the locks were either rather flimsy or just didn’t work at all. This could at best cause a rather embarrassing incident or at worst leave young girls ,boys and woman vulnerable to attack.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Pitch area

Disliked Facilities could have been cleaner and quite dated now. unfortunately loud karaoke blasting out of the lairds inn pub til 11pm at night really spoiled it for us, could hear it even down at the bay view field. Not great for families.

Kirsten F.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Location, restaurant, staff were lovely and helpful. Surrounding campers seemed nice.

Disliked Sewage dumped behind pitch - pile of mushed toilet paper and rubbish on pitch from previous campers. Although this is slightly out of the campsites control.
Outdoor pool was too cold only just heated and no more, plus the baby pool had 3 dead frogs swirling around.
