Liked: We loved the beautiful grounds and facilities at Firbank Park! Justine and Archie were fabulous hosts - very welcoming and helpful with local recommendations and tips. Loved the heated toilet room when the snow started to fall too - nothing worse than a frozen bottom! Our children played in the snow for two days, making snowmen and rolling countless snowballs. Loved the open space and gorgeous surroundings. We’ll definitely be back when we’re next in Scotland!

From the manager: Thankyou for the time for leaving a review. I'm sorry you felt we were expensive. The pitch you were on covers a 1/3 of an acre and I suppose we could have packed in many more pitches in our field to reduce the cost of one nights stay but we feel most of our guest appreciate the space. It's true we don't have showers or a restaurant or bar but we are trying to appeal to customers that love the countryside and the walks/cycle tracks direct from our site.
Excellent
