Ik was blij met: Very friendly and welcoming

Ik was blij met: A super venue run by really lovely welcoming people - fab little cafe and beautiful setting - so close to everything but tucked away in the countryside...

Ik was blij met: Peace and quiet, friendly owners, access to the railway station for routes to Glasgow, Edinburgh and more, and a nice rural view. As the site is owned by World of Wings visitor attraction we were even treated to a bird of prey display right by our pitch.

Ik was niet zo blij met: I was hoping for starlit skies, but the weather never obliged.

Ik was blij met: Was fantastic! Really friendly and breakfasts were perfect. The walk to the toilets at night was a big adventure (bring something to pee in at night if you don't want the 2 minute walk, or a good torch), pitch was flat, and plenty of room.
Birds of prey being right next door is an added bonus.
Thank you for a lovely stay.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Nothing.

Ik was blij met: Wonderful family run gem. Peaceful and well cared for park up and pitches. Lovely and flat and it’s looks like they are cultivating a young native woodland around.
Immaculate toilets with a good accesible option. Lovely cafe, definitely worth trying their excellent breakfast options and visiting world of wings displays.
I’m always cautious of paying to see animals in case they are not well treated for my entertainment but world of wings is full of a very wide array of birds housed happily to their needs including successful breeding programmes for some threatened species.
The birds have such free reign in fact that on the day of our visit a particularly large one just took to the thermals and went off for a jolly.
Far from panicking the staff scrambled off with their telemetry to track it and wait for it to come down.
Full marks go to the newest employee who got left to entertain the large crowd who had been coming to watch the flying display. She held together a sizeable crowd through bird handling, keeping everyone calmly at a safe distance that didn’t stress the birds but patiently letting everyone have a wee handle while keeping up a stream of bird facts. For more than an hour with 2 different birds.
She just rolled with it.
Fortunately Gandalf was home in time for tea and I walked past his enclosure on the way out I noted that it said as his interesting fact that this species if known for liking to fly high!
We had a lovely experience here and excellent communication beforehand.
It’s a lovely central location and very easy to get to from the main roads

Ik was blij met: A scenic view and peace and quiet made for a lovely stay. We chose Blairlinn for its limited facilities as we prefer a low key venue to a shiny, busy one.

Ik was blij met: The view from the field. Its proximity to Glasgow.

Ik was niet zo blij met: This isn’t a campsite, it’s a spare field/overflow car park on a small ex-industrial site. The loos you use are part of World of Wings, so a short walk from the field, and there’s no drinking water tap, washing up area or bin.
