Liked: Staff were all very friendly and to be honest really made our holiday.
Spectacular views, spacious pitches, plenty of space for walks/play.
Clean, well looked after facilities
Disliked: Not a dislike for the site but maybe worth mentioning - our sat nav took us through tight off road roads and through farmers fields in the last 5 minutes of our journey there. No idea why though as the site has a normal wide road leading in and out of the site. We put it down to the settings on the sat nav.
So if youre visiting this site and begin to drive on small country roads/farmers fields - go back, there is a normal and easy route haha

We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed our amazing views and the expanse of land we have available for our guests.
It is fantastic to hear that you found all of our facilities to be clean and well looked after. Our friendly, hard-working team works hard to keep these standards and it is rewarding to learn that we achieved this for you.
We are sorry that your Sat Nav brought you to us via an interesting route. There is definitely a straightforward way which it sounds like you found in the end.
We do hope that you will visit us again.

Liked: The toilet/shower blocks where nearby and very clean, well maintained at all times.
They had a laundry room with a washer and dryer which were cheap enough to use and it also had a sink and drying area with Sponges and liquid provided which made washing up a lot easier. The childrens park was big and catered well for all ages and again was central so close by to most pitches.
Disliked: The outdoor pool is no longer heated so unable to use most of the time due to cold weather, the indoor pool isn't really a pool with the maximum capacity being only 8 people. This was closed at first due to levels not being right. The shop was no longer there, instead there was a handful of bits of food available to buy in main reception. The cafe food was really nice however we waited an hour and a half for our food due to low staffing however they did continue to keep taking orders knowing they were extremely busy and couldn't keep up. The entertainment was poor, my kids didn't really enjoy it.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us.
We are please to hear that you found the toilet/shower blocks clean and tidy as our team works hard to maintain these standards. We try and ensure all of our facilities offer everything you need so again we are pleased to hear that this was the case with the laundry and washing area.
We are very sorry to hear about your experience in the cafe - we were incredibly busy over the weekend and are sorry that your order took a while to arrive. We are pleased that you enjoyed the food when it did. We are reinstating the shop into the cafe area for the main season.
We are lucky to have an outdoor pool on the park and it's temperature is weather dependant - it is certainly very popular throughout the summer months. We always have to put our guests safety first which is why the indoor pool was closed until levels were safe - we reopened as soon as was practicable.
We are sorry to hear that your children did not enoy the entertainment provided. The Roadrunner is always a showstopper and we have received very favourable reviews from other guests.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us.
We are pleased that you enjoyed the spectacular views and walks we have here. Being positioned at the end of a peninsular means that shops and public transport are not close by, for many this is the attraction.
We are sorry that you found our shower room cold.
We do hope that you will visit us again the future.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us.
We are pleased that you liked our location and the facilities we provide. The walk to the shower block is the trade off for the amazing, uniterupted sea views over the Solway Firth.
We hope that you visit us again in the future.
