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.

What customers say

This working farm campsite boasts lovely country views and friendly hosts who let you pet the farm animals. Sites are spacious with electricity, and facilities are usually clean. It's quiet yet near Largs, but mobile service can be spotty, and busy times might affect cleanliness.

Liked Locatie

Disliked Sanitair:
Was vies en werd niet één keer gepoetst tijdens ons verblijf van een week.....
Ook de afwasruimte was zonder warm water, terwijl de alternatieve afwasplek soms geen warm water gaf.
En dat met slechts (gemiddeld) 5 bezoekers!

Liked Beautiful setting.
Only 45 minutes from Paisley, 60 minutes from Glasgow.
Great toilet/ shower facilities.
Spacious pitches and you choose your pitch.
Electric hook up.
Wandering farm animals; Donkeys, Goats, Chickens, Cockerels, Bengal cats.
Definitely return.

Disliked Although I knew you beforehand that you can’t park your car by your pitch, it is inconvenient. Perhaps having a few wheelbarrows in the carpark would help campers with all their gear.
The electric fence; couldn’t really allow my 2 year old niece to run freely as terrified she touched the fence.
My 3 small well behaved dogs were a little restricted, no where to let them off their leads.
We didn’t meet the owners, a young lad told me where to park. Didn’t know we could purchase wood etc for a campfire.

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.
