Fully-serviced grass and gravel caravan site

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: Overpriced for what was on offer - paid less for a much better site the previous night and the following night. The toilets and showers are very cramped and were not very clean.

Rachel L. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: The view was beautiful, the play park was great, the glamping pods look luxurious. One member of staff was very kind and he helped us jump start our car when the battery ran flat. Toilets were fairly clean. The pizza and Rockshore on tap absolutely hit the spot. Overall we had a great time.

Disliked: Not that it's the venues fault, but bare in mind there's no local shop. At least not that we could find. So if you run out of anything that might be tricky to navigate.

Catherine S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced grass and gravel caravan site

Liked: The reception and restaurant was very nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Disliked: The toilet and shower facilities were grubby and very poor. Cramped toilet cubicles which open straight to the outside. ( when sitting on the toilet, my knees almost touched the door). One of the two cubicles didn't lock. No soap or means of drying hands once washed and I couldn't get hot water. The bins were also so full that the lids stayed up. Can't say much about the showers as we balked at using them.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: We felt very welcomed by the receptionist in the hotel as he greeted us and showed us around the site. The whole experience was very homely yet professional at the same time. Facilities were spot on for a campsite and well looked after and stalked with soap and loo roll. Gravel paths surround the site making it easy to get around. All this along with a generously sized car park allows for no stress on your arrival!

Local attractions

Boots at the ready… you can walk straight from the lodge onto the Divis mountain trail, or the Black Mountain trail, both of which have gorgeous views along with a good amount of wildlife to spot (see if you can spot any red grouse or peregrine falcons overhead as you look out towards the Belfast skyline). More walks? Head out into the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (35 minutes’ drive) or aim south to the mountains of the Mourne Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (50 minutes). If you’ve not managed to spot any big birds along the trails, you’ll surely have better luck at World of Owls (35 minutes). For magnificent buildings, meanwhile, try Antrim Castle (20 minutes) or Carrickfergus Castle (half an hour). Belfast (15 minutes) is a grand place for a day out too – perhaps visiting the Titanic Museum and Crumlin Road Gaol or taking a black cab tour to learn about the city’s troubled history.
