  • Well-equipped holiday park among Ayr's 30+ castles
  • Indoor pool, solarium, wildlife trails and kids' clubs for ages 4-15
  • Entertainment venue, bar-restaurant and fish and chip shop
Hmmm, here’s a compelling conundrum for someone at Sundrum Castle Holiday Park: with more than 30 cracking castles tucked into the landscape around Ayr, which on earth should you visit first? And even if you stay on site, it’s decisions, decisions thanks to the packed programme of entertainment and activities at all hours of the day. Ditherers, you have been warned. Daytime choices include a splash about on the flume at the indoor pool, a relaxing session in the solarium, 10-pin bowling, a round of crazy golf, a deerstalking stroll around the wildlife trails, or a game of five-a-side or basketball. For kids, there’s a mind-boggling selection of fun sessions in the kids’ clubs for ages four to 15. As night falls, take your pick of competitions, live music, cabaret, dancing and comedy in the on-site entertainment venue. As for food, the Tam O’Shanter bar-restaurant has a comprehensive set of food and drink options including freshly brewed Costa Coffee, or you could just grab a bite from the fish and chip shop. So, if you’re after an unspoilt country setting close to fab beaches and some of Scotland’s top tourist attractions, Sundrum Castle Holiday Park may well be the perfect spot. (Phew, at least that's one decision made…)

What customers say

Awesome family spot, great facilities like the pool & playgrounds. Staff are legend! Sites usually tidy. Some toilets are a bit old-school, and noise/cleaning can be spotty. Good location, though a bit remote for some.

Liked Nothing

Disliked Arrived 25 minutes early not even a smile explained that I had got a good run and no hold ups just handed me a pack and said this is your pitch number
Bought the WiFi at a cost of £17:50 only to be told that you can't get WiFi on that pitch no refund. Surely they could have added that into the pack but not
The crazy golf was a mess all ripped no maintenance whatsoever
The toilets had a code not used the door was jammed opened all the time on one occasion on visiting the tolet there had been a tolet roll stuffed down the toilet
The restaurant is over priced and they will not change any thing for you
The on site shop is well over priced
If you use this site don't complain if you have read this
I recommend that pitchup remove it from there site it's only pulling you down been to a lot pitchup sites that I have recommend

Unpowered grass tent site (no pets)

Liked The facilities are lovely and clean. Reception staff were super welcoming and really helpful.

Disliked We asked a young lady behind the bar in the restaurant for ice creams out of the freezer. She was helpful but couldn’t take payment - I told her please could she ask another staff member as my daughter is autistic and it was busy and loud. I was utterly surprised I was ignored for 10 minutes which felt like a lifetime watching my daughter have a melt down. I should have just walked out without paying.

Unpowered grass tent site (no pets)

Liked Great site, with good on site facilities. The site was kept clean despite being full in the school holidays. In a good location with Ayr only 10 mins down the road, great walks especially if your a dog owner. We were camping, limited camping but not a bad thing as not too many tents, hot showers available, and a place to wash-up. Overall really recommended, we will visit again.

Local attractions

How to pick from the 30 or so castles close to Sundrum Castle Holiday Park? For sheer magnitude plus dramatic ocean views, try Culzean Castle, which sits in 600 acres a few miles south of Ayr. Those with kids in tow should head for Kelburn Castle, with its secret forest walkways, crocodile swamp, petting zoo and play barn; keen golfers meanwhile will appreciate the course at Rowallan Castle, which has an actual 19th hole (as well as the more traditional variety). Treat yourselves to a day at the races in nearby Ayr, also great for shopping and beaches, and home to Pirate Pete’s, where you’ll find Scotland’s biggest indoor play area, as well as outdoor rides, a laser zone and a cute traditional seafront café. Other popular day trips include a trip across the water to the stunning Isle of Arran; a pilgrimage to the Burns National Heritage Park to visit the Bard’s cottage and the neighbouring museum, and a cuddle-filled day out at the Heads of Ayr Farm Park.
