The road to whittlieburn

  • Scenic family-run smallholding site 10 minutes' drive from Largs
  • Within 20 minutes' drive of ferries to Great Cumbrae and Bute
  • Collect and buy fresh eggs from the flock of free-range hens on site
Some will be making a swift stopover on a Scotland tour, others looking to settle in for a lengthier Largs-based break; South Whittlieburn Farm’s owner Katie is happy to welcome all sorts of guests at her family-run Ayrshire smallholding. Bag a spot here in the stunning Brisbane Glen to share the place with the horses and ponies that graze the surrounding fields, and a flock of free-range hens that generously provide fresh eggs for guests to collect and purchase for a farm breakfast. If your own animal pal fancies coming along for the ride, dogs are welcome here – the little farm track that runs by Noddsdale Water lends itself well to paw-stretching outings. Noted those stunning views from the site? (If not, skip off to flick through pics at this point…) They give you a bit of a clue that this is a most scenic area, whether facing inland towards the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park or out to sea and the Firth of Clyde. Getting down to the seaside is fairly straightforward, as the popular resort of Largs is a 10-minute drive away – home to lots of shops and places to eat as well as a viking centre, boat trips and a splendid seaview golf course.

Liked Lovely welcome. Spacious, mainly flat site, excellent for tents. Lots of electric access points. Very good shower facilities, lovely and hot. Excellent spot for exploring the islands either from Wemyss Bay to Bute or Largs to Great Cumbrai. We stayed in order to take the Waverley paddle streamer to Arran.

Powered grass tent campsite (medium)

Liked Lovely campsite just perfect for a trip to Millport or largs for the day. Nice big space and free roaming animals. The wheelbarrow was very handy as you can't park next to your pitch. We had a great time and have planned to come back again.

Disliked Only downside we found was how unclean the toilets and showers were. They are needing some love to bring them up to a decent standard. We have used lots of small and busy sites this year where the facilities close for cleaning around midday for a few hours. The cleaner didn't come until evening time. After they were cleaned you couldn't tell. I personally think a deep clean needs to happen for these to make improvements and to keep on top of this.

Liked We had a fantastic stay at South Whittlieburn Farm. The campsite is peaceful, spotless and very well looked after. The pitches are spacious, the facilities are clean, and the location is perfect for exploring the surrounding area. It felt safe and relaxing, and the children had a brilliant time. The owners were welcoming and friendly, and the whole site had a lovely atmosphere. We’ll definitely be returning.

Disliked Nothing to dislike. Everything met or exceeded our expectations.

Local attractions

Got the urge to flex your golfing arms? As well as the course in Largs, there are several other courses along this stretch of coastline – Royal Troon, Prestwick and Gailes Links courses are all within an hour’s drive. If you’re more into watching sports than thwacking golf balls, aim for Ayr’s racecourse (an hour’s drive away). Sticking a little closer to home, plan a bit of time in Largs – wandering along the promenade, getting into the viking spirit at the Vikingar Centre or having a bit of splash time in the swimming pool. Just outside town (15 minutes’ drive from the site) is Kelburn Castle, a mural-adorned ancient pile whose estate has a waterfall to hike to, a sculpture trail to stroll along and (shhh…) a secret forest to seek out. Looking longingly beyond Largs? Board a ferry from the harbour to the island of Great Cumbrae for bike rides and watersports, or head to Wemyss Bay (20 minutes) for the boat to Bute. Either way, keep eyes out for seals and seabirds lounging along the shoreline.
