  • Well-equipped holiday park among Ayr's 30+ castles
  • Indoor pool, solarium, wildlife trails and kids' clubs for ages 4-15
  • Entertainment venue, bar-restaurant and fish and chip shop
Hmmm, here’s a compelling conundrum for someone at Sundrum Castle Holiday Park: with more than 30 cracking castles tucked into the landscape around Ayr, which on earth should you visit first? And even if you stay on site, it’s decisions, decisions thanks to the packed programme of entertainment and activities at all hours of the day. Ditherers, you have been warned. Daytime choices include a splash about on the flume at the indoor pool, a relaxing session in the solarium, 10-pin bowling, a round of crazy golf, a deerstalking stroll around the wildlife trails, or a game of five-a-side or basketball. For kids, there’s a mind-boggling selection of fun sessions in the kids’ clubs for ages four to 15. As night falls, take your pick of competitions, live music, cabaret, dancing and comedy in the on-site entertainment venue. As for food, the Tam O’Shanter bar-restaurant has a comprehensive set of food and drink options including freshly brewed Costa Coffee, or you could just grab a bite from the fish and chip shop. So, if you’re after an unspoilt country setting close to fab beaches and some of Scotland’s top tourist attractions, Sundrum Castle Holiday Park may well be the spot. (Phew, at least that's one decision made…)

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Verkehrsgünstig gelegen und recht gute Ausgangsposition für Ausflüge nach Ayr.

Disliked Kleinere, dich beieinander liegende Parzellen, teils im Schatten. Relativ laut, da ziemlich gut frequentiert. Sanitäreinrichtungen nicht ganz auf der Höhe der Zeit und relativ wenige Duschen.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Was told. When booking no pitches were available then she said would try again 2nd time and she said the would squeeze me in with my m home so I booked 3 nights all the 3days I was in your park there were a lot of pitches were all available so why was I told when booking that I would get three nights in park when a lot of pitches available around the pitch I was allowed to go to pitch 15i was allocated to me and it was not a pitch I would pick as we had a lot of muck and dirt all around my pitch and a bank of soil at one end of pitch which left my motorhome very dirty inside

Disliked Pitch 15 not very clean as dirt leaves soil around pitch very dirty

Local attractions

How to pick from the 30 or so castles close to Sundrum Castle Holiday Park? For sheer magnitude plus dramatic ocean views, try Culzean Castle, which sits in 600 acres a few miles south of Ayr. Those with kids in tow should head for Kelburn Castle, with its secret forest walkways, crocodile swamp, petting zoo and play barn; keen golfers meanwhile will appreciate the course at Rowallan Castle, which has an actual 19th hole (as well as the more traditional variety). Treat yourselves to a day at the races in nearby Ayr, also great for shopping and beaches, and home to Pirate Pete’s, where you’ll find Scotland’s biggest indoor play area, as well as outdoor rides, a laser zone and a cute traditional seafront café. Other popular day trips include a trip across the water to the stunning Isle of Arran; a pilgrimage to the Burns National Heritage Park to visit the Bard’s cottage and the neighbouring museum, and a cuddle-filled day out at the Heads of Ayr Farm Park.
