Non-electric hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked: Very helpful owner, DIane, came out to meet me as I arrived and point out where everything was. The site is open with fields of horses adjacent as well as a children's / picnic area. Toilets/showers are clean and well-kept. It was exactly what I was looking for. The surrounding area is good for cycling/walking, although Ayrshire is mostly hills. Nearby Sorn (5K) is worth a visit.

Non-electric hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked: Tranquil setting with horses galore, river, friendly host and plenty space around pitches
Disliked: Perhaps more toilets and shower facilities
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We're so pleased to hear you found our setting tranquil and enjoyed watching the horses. We loved that you found our pitches spacious. We do limit the numbers to make sure everyone has plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. We do have plans in the pipeline for more toilets and shower facilities but with planning and the cost of living at the moment these things take time for a small site like ours. We hope to be able to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes Lauren & Aaron
