Wild Oak Woods

Понравилось: The Cabin was tucked in a sheltered Valley surrounded by mature trees with loads of wild life on your doorstep. A short distance from the beach and a 10 minute car journey to neighbouring towns. (The Anchor pub in nearby Kippford is a must for lunch or dinner) Loads of trails to walk nearby. The Cabins are cosy with the log burner on. We had a great time with our 2 year old grandson.

Не понравилось: JJ's chip shop in nearby Southerness.

Понравилось: Facilities were excellent. Kitchen was well equipped and very clean. Toilet was also very clean. Site was very quiet and in a lovely location.

Не понравилось: The campervan pitch is very uneven and not level. There was also a bad smell of a dead animal near the toilet, though we appreciate the owner of the site had tried to identify and remove this it was still lingering while we were there.

От менеджера: We are what we are and we are not what we are not.
We aren't a normal touring caravan site and this booking came about due to an error on the Pitch up site which I had not spotted. We usually have a two night minimum stay but decided to honour your booking as the mix up was a technical glitch and not at all your error.
What we are is a tiny little site in a haven for wildlife and unfortunately wildlife sometimes means wild dead and this unfortunate creature had inconveniently died in the vacinity of the facilities block leaving a vague smell for a short period of time which we can only apologise for. We offer a unique opportunity for people to encounter wildlife up close and personal but totally get this is not the sort of encounter most people would relish.
With regard to the campervan spot not being level, its not. We are a tiny site in a hidden valley with granite hills surrounding and all our land is sloping due to closely underlying bedrock, We never intended to cater for campervans but in Covid we added this one space as people had no where to go and people loved it so much we have retained it because not everyone can afford to stay with us in one of our camping huts and we strongly believe in providing affordable opportunities for people to experience our stunning site in the beautiful Stewartry National Scenic area.
Since your review I have tried to alter the name on the Pitch up listing to slightly sloping campervan spot, lets hope I can achieve that to save any future upset. I can only apologise for not making it clear to you at the time of booking that the spot is slightly sloping, I've got so used to campervans carrying chocks to level up and with the initial confusion around this booking I've clearly neglected to mention that you do need chocks in that space to level up.
Please excuse the long winded reply and thankyou for your feedback and dropping our overall rating to 9.9 as I always feel that straight 10 ratings seem a bit false, you have made our site ratings look more real and reminded me to emphasis the need for chocks. To sum up this has been my error in accepting this booking because we are not a normal touring caravan site we are a tiny little haven in a hidden valley surrounded by hills, trees and wild life where you can be at one with nature and people that are looking for such an experience love it here and I always say people looking for a normal site might not be happy here and for which I can only apologise.

Понравилось: We loved this place. It was the bank holiday weekend and we struggled to find anywhere to stop. All we could find in the area was this tiny site in the middle of a forest - not really what I was looking for (or so I thought) but beggars can’t be choosers. A drive up the long track through the woods brought us out into a clearing containing a few cabins, a small utilities block, and little else. Just trees. Ferns. Wild plants. More trees. And sky.
It was absolute bliss. Couldn’t hear any road noise, just trees in the breeze, and the songs of birds. So peaceful and calm.
So far so good, but the clincher would be the showers. So many times we’ve been to sites and my wife comes back from the showers with a long face saying “they’re not very good” but she came back to the van beaming, saying the shower is hot, spacious, and extremely clean. Winner!
There’s also a great little kitchen you can cook your food in.
It’s a fifteen minute walk from a superb beach - pools, caves, rock arches, cliffs etc, and there’s a pub/restaurant about 8 mins walk away. Don’t tend to visit this part of Scotland often but next time we do we’ll be sure to book in here. Oh, nearly forget to mention - I was expecting to be eaten alive by midges, but got no bites and didn’t even see any of the little beasts.

Не понравилось: Nothing. Never been on a campsite in the woods before but immediately felt relaxed and at home here.

Понравилось: This little cabin in the woods was a perfect getaway for my young family (dogs included). It had absolutely everything we needed amenity wise, a nook of serenity and its cleanliness was perfection. We will be back!

Не понравилось: The double bed left a little to be desired for comfort however was ample.
