Close to Scotland's most southerly golf course

Ever seen the film The Wicker Man? If at any point you found yourself admiring the stunning Scottish scenery among the sense of impending celluloid doom (understandable), you'll probably be interested to know that the scenic setting in question was the village of Burrowhead on the Solway Firth. And in Burrowhead is Burrowhead Holiday Village, a park in this scenic setting that's in a spacious hundred acres of parkland with views over the Solway Firth to the Isle of Man and the hills of the Lake District. This is activity land – sea fishing, golf and coastal walks are all very close to hand – and there's space to chill out back on site too as Burrowhead has a Jacuzzi and a sauna. Let the kids loose at the play area, crazy golf, amusement arcade, soft play area, ball pool playroom and toddler splash pool with slide; the park also has pitch and putt golf, a putting green, a snooker room with licensed bar, and an adults-only function room. A shop is there if you want to buy food and fire up your own cooker, but if not, Burrowhead Holiday Village has a well-priced café serving big breakfasts and other meals. Drinks and entertainment are sorted at the Headland family bar. There is wifi throughout the site. Burrowhead Holiday Village has a private water supply and they recommend that guests boil the water before consumption. Dogs are welcome on site but won't be allowed in the amenity buildings.

Liked: Staff so helpful and everything aimed at giving families a fun time. Well priced shop, great kids entertainer The Roadrunner, on Bank Holiday Monday. Site was well kept and clean, indoor pool small but great fun for the family. A great place to stay

Disliked: Wi-Fi didn’t work in lodge and very intermittent around site which in such a rural setting was a little worrying with 3 young children under the age of 6 just in case of emergencies. With no phone signal either we were slightly worried should anyone be taken ill - would have had to run to the pay phone by the cafe.

Liked: Lovely quiet site. Cafe was very good and shop available for all your forgotten and required items. Good space between pitches. Lovely maintained grounds and paths to walk in area. Great views!! Would love to come back with the kids in the summer to use the outdoor pool!!! Decent WiFi throughout the park. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Nothing really, just disappointed that the bar is closed as this is one of the reasons for booking here. Fully understand it’s maybe a bit quiet to open it yet but maybe update your description on pitchup and state that it is closed Mon/Tue during the week.

Liked: Everything was amazing from start to end. All the facilities were fantastic, the food in the cafe was outstanding. I can see the expense that has gone into to Burrowhead from before and it’s absolutely stunning now, so clean and tidy really modern with a Scottish touch. The Wi-Fi was working perfect for us throughout the whole stay. We will definitely be returning in a few months time. 5* park in our eyes.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Fantastic scenery and walks. Indoor pool and sauna are great. Cafe, shop and pub on site are a real asset. Pitch and put looked good, however we didn’t get to try. Shower block clean and roomy. The whole site is well kept.

Local attractions

If you're up for some angling, cast off from rocks, boats or loch near Burrowhead Holiday Village; fishing off the rocks is allowed at the Burrowhead coast and at the local beaches. All of this scenery lends itself well to walks as well: once you've wandered along the coast a bit, try the trails at Kirroughtree and through the Galloway Forest Park. This is top birdwatching territory too, so look out/up for birds when you're around this part of coast, and it's prime dark skies land for stargazing afterwards. Popular attractions in the area are Bladnoch Distillery, Galloway Forest Park, the book town of Wigtown and the Cream o' Galloway, a dairy farm that produces topping ice cream and has a crazy golf course. Nearby Whithorn is where Christianity in Scotland evolved under the leadership of St Ninian; the Whithorn Story Visitor Centre and St Ninian's Cave are the main tourist draws. Other nearby days out could include the 75 acres of child-friendly Castle Kennedy Gardens; a look at the inhabitants of Monreith Animal World, and the watersports and activities of Galloway Activity Centre (about an hour away). Finally, the port of Cairnryan is about 40 miles away: sail to Larne in Northern Ireland from here and drive along the coast to have a day in Belfast.
