Liked: Wonderful Location! Friendly people.
Well we were truly blessed with the weather! Having been guided in by the team, we found the site with no problems. (Beware Satnav takes you to cottages up a lane)! The first turn into Seaward is very tight, second much easier!
The site itself has the most fabulous views over the estuary, being close and overlooking a little (muddy) beach. But there are plenty of superb long, sandy beaches nearby, along wuith the bustling little town of Kirkcudbright 8 minutes drive.
The site is well used, friendly and tidy. All the facilities, including the dog-wash are nearby and clean. Nothing much here, a very small shop for absolute neccesities, but a very warm feel about the place and would be very happy to go back.
Showers, toilets, water and facilities all in good order, and the site is kept impeccably tidy. Very dog-friendly and flexible people to assist! Well impressed!
Thanks Seaward!

Disliked: A little far out...

Liked: Front line position with a great view of the Dee Estuary. Very helpful team, Grace and Kevin were great. Short drive into Kirkcudbright and lots to do in the area. We had dinner at the Selkirk Arms Hotel one night and it was excellent, thoroughly recommend. My wife is a direct descendant of the Black Douglas clan and so our trip to Thrieve Castle was illuminating. (Although I now have to call he “My Lady”).
We also found everyone in the area charming and friendly. Will definitely be returning in the future and would certainly recommend to our friends.

Disliked: We could have done with another week. Nothing to dislike.

Local attractions

Bring the family's bikes if you can, as the famed 7stanes forest trails at Dalbeattie and Kirroughtree are only 30 minutes away from and the Sustrans Route 7 passes right outside the park entrance. (If you haven't brought bikes, hire them just outside the Dalbeattie trail or near the Kirroughtree Forest visitor centre.) By hike rather than bike, there's a wealth of walks around the coast, hills and forests of the area as well as an easy stroll to the sea, shingle cove and sandy beach of Dhoon Bay minutes from the caravan park. Golfers have loads to pick from too including the championship Brighouse Bay course a short drive away along the coast; horse riding, a wildlife conservation park and activity centres are in the region, and the tasty chocolate factory of the Cocobean Company is only 10 minutes' drive away. More gently, the harbour town of Kirkcudbright town has a good clutch of coffee shops and galleries in which to while away the day, as well as the Stewartry Museum with a good collection of works by local artists (there are quite a few). Also recommended is heading to the harbour to watch the fishing boats unload their catch – you might even come over all artistic yourself – and watch them, the yachts and the lifeboats leave Kirkcudbright Bay. Finally, take a stargazing look at spectacular Galloway Forest Park, the UK's first Dark Sky Park and one of only four designated in all of Europe.
