Bracken beach five minutes' walk from the park

On-site shop stocking all the essentials and some treats

Family-run holiday park with views of the Ayrshire coastline
A 15-minute drive from Ayr and walking distance to the beach
Pets welcome; on-site kids' play area and food shop available

Wake up to views over the Firth of Clyde and the Isle of Arran at Heads of Ayr Holiday Park, a friendly family-run site in southern Scotland. With a coastal location, a family-friendly feel and close proximity to a number of bays and beaches, it makes an excellent base for getting out and about on the Ayrshire coast. The site is just off the A719 coastal route, a handy location that makes it quick and easy to head south to Culzean Castle (20 minutes) or north to Ayr town centre (15 minutes), coastal golf courses (20 minutes) and Ardrossan (40 minutes), where you can catch ferries to the Isle of Arran or to the tip of the Kintyre Peninsula. Facilities here include toilets, showers, internet access, a food shop and a play area. Well-behaved dogs (on leads) are welcome. Away from base, more family-friendly entertainment is on hand a mile away at Heads of Ayr Farm Park, a fun park with boats, tractor rides, trampolines and lots of furry animals. When your mind turns to more practical matters, just head into Ayr for supermarkets, restaurants, takeaways and a railway station.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Laundry and toilets were great, showers were especially brilliant. Very big cubicles with plenty of room for your stuff. Friendly staff and a great pitch.

Disliked No hairdryer in the ladies and a fair bit of shouting from the people living above reception.

Local attractions

Bracken Bay beach, a spacious sandy spot with shallow waters, is about a five-minute walk down a footpath from the site that's well worth visiting. Once here, it's easy to join the Ayrshire Coastal Path and head south to Dunure and its castle via quiet countryside along the clifftop (or you can drive there in about 10 minutes). To the north, the Victorian seaside resort of Ayr (15 minutes' drive) is well worth a visit for a stroll along the seafront and to stop for fish and chips (Marco's is particularly tasty). The area surrounding the town also has a racecourse (15 minutes) and the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum (10 minutes), where you can see the bard's cottage plus manuscripts, books and artwork. Day trips from Ardrossan ferry terminal (40 minutes) include jaunts to the Isle of Arran or the Kintyre Peninsula in Argyll, which feels very much like an island despite being attached to mainland Scotland. For a total change of scene, it's also possible to drive to Glasgow (an hour) for trips to fab free museums like the Kelvingrove Art Gallery or Riverside Museum and its hundreds of transport-related artefacts.
