Liked: A lovely site with very clean facilities. The kids used the wee outdoor pool and had a great time - very reasonably priced as well. We went up to the wee pub too which was very welcoming and homely. They also had a nice wee outdoor section for watching the Euros. A lovely, welcoming site with a great wee park for the kids. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip!

Liked: What a fantastic site, normally when we go camping we have to venture off site as the kids get bored but not here, the kids didn't want to leave! the outdoor swimming pool was lovely and we had it all to ourselves, mini golf was free, the park was great, they have arcades and an indoor pool which the kids went in on the afternoon. The pub which serves food is lovely and they also have a shop and a café which is very reasonably priced The toilet/shower block was very clean and modern. Staff were very nice and helpful. We absolutely can't wait for our next stay here!
Disliked: Nothing to dislike this is a fab site

Liked: Very laid back family and dog friendly holiday park, the first time I had been and loved it, from the views of the old ruined castle to the lovely donkeys my kids enjoyed feeding. It’s so much better than the larger parks like Craig Tara etc, prices are very cheap in comparison. Would be back again 100%
