Date of Visit: April 2018 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: The2Lees 3 reviews from this member

 Beautiful small beach-side site ringed with palm trees! Facilities are very good and the site has a relaxed homely feel.

The owner is very helpful with an interesting background. The adjacent hotel and bar is an asset on cold wintry days and, we guess, balmy summer's evenings. What more do you need.

 Breath taking views South towards Ailsa Craig. Easy access to the beach. You could spend all day just looking at the view. Gently sloping field, surprisingly sheltered for the location but watch out for the rabbits!

Arrival somewhat marred following a discussion with the owner and his pricing policy. He wanted to charge us for the maximum capacity of the tent, not just for the two of us! We came to an agreement that a Berghaus Lomond 3 is only a 2 man tent (the 3 must be for the number of poles!) Be warned / prepared.

Facilities are fine, clean and tidy. Free wifi (patchy service) and camping kitchen/ bbq/ information areas.

The Kildonan Hotel, next door, is not what you would expect inside. Good atmosphere and a short stagger home.

 Such a beautiful location and view. Good facilities including free wifi, BBQ area, use of microwave for free.

Hotel next door good for food and drinks. Nice size pitches and site smallish making it great for children. Everything kept clean and tidy including the chemical disposal point.

Friendly owner. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. We had a lovely holiday here. Recommend this campsite and recommend Arran.

 Stayed here for 1 night in a motorhome, stunningly beautiful location overlooking Ailsa Craig and Pladda Island and lighthouse.

We had amazing weather although being right on the coast it was windy but with pure blue sky and sunshine who cares.

There is a lovely beach where we revisited our childhood and spent a couple of hours rock pooling. There is a pub/hotel almost next door but we didn't use it as the weather was so good but would imagine on a cold wet day it would be good.

Welcome was very friendly and would definitely visit again. Toilets and showers were good and very clean.

 This is a great site, right on the beach with stunning views.

We went with another family and choose to use the camping pods instead of our tents but we were highly disappointed. The pods themselves are very basic not even offering a mattress to sleep on, there are only beds for 2 people, all others have to sleep on the floor, which when living next to the beach is not great as you end up with all your bedding covered in sand!

We were also disappointed with the location of the pods, they are not next to each other, had we known this we wouldn't have booked as we wanted to spend the time together to split up, this made bedtimes and cooking difficult. One of the pods did not have sea views and the other had a hard standing pitch in front of it which ruins your view.

The facilities on site are ok and kept clean but there could be more washing up areas. The kitchen facilities consist of a fridge and microwave, the addition of a kettle would be helpful for those staying in the pods!

We found the staff on reception a little rude on arrival as we complained about the pods but I am sure this is not their usual manner as they seemed ok during the rest of our stay.

We would go back to this site but definitely choose to camp!

 Everybody has said it all. The location is stunning, The site is welcoming and well run.

Camping just doesn't get any better than this.

Well apart from the obvious lack of fridge magnets with 'Arran' on it! Ha ha!

 One night in the gypsy caravan. Superb!

Bottled out of pitching up for the night with heavy rain forecast so paid £25 for a night in the small gypsy wagon. Really pleased that I did. Cosy and warm in my sleeping bag watching it lash down for most of the afternoon. Shame the wood burner didn't work. Caravan has electrical sockets and lights.

Other aspects of the site remain excellent. In particular, the undercover cooking area is excellent when the weather is bad. Plus there is a day room to eat your meal in comfort. Small kitchen with kettle, microwave and fridge. Free wifi if you want it.

 I can only support what has already been said, the site's location is stunning. The owners are wonderful I would rate this site as a 10 all day long.

The Kildonan Hotel next door has excellent food and a very good supply of local ales!

Only thing to watch is if you do have a van the roads are a little tricky.

Reviewer: Vicbrown 11 reviews from this member

 The site description almost fails to do justice to this delightful, well maintained, and extremely well equipped site. At the end of a peninsula, you expect some simplicity and 'basic character'.

Noting could be further from the truth. The owners care greatly about this site - and have made sure that its guests are well catered for, in every respect.

Away from the site, do not miss the lovely forest walk and waterfall - Eas Mor ( at the top of the hill). But if that is too much, just relax taking in the view to Pladda) and then relax in the lovely hotel next door to the site ( great staff and ambiance)

 What a cracking site. Spacious and views to die for.

We stayed for five nights and unfortunately the weather wasn't too nice but it didn't keep us in.

The owners are nice people, friendly and helpful plus they're motorhomers themselves, so they know what's wanted.

The beach is amazing. The site runs right onto it and I think campervans without EHU can park right on it.

It's rough and rocky, so lots for kids to do.

Adjacent to the site is a hotel, which can be accessed behind reception, or via the beach.

We didn't eat there, but it looked reasonable. There was a folk afternoon on Sunday and we stayed right through the performance.

The site had a small shop which kept the basics.

Off the site I'm afraid wasn't our cup of tea. No shopping to speak of. The co-op seems to have the monopoly on food shopping with no obvious other supermarkets. Believe it or not we couldn't get a fridge magnet with 'Arran' on it! Plenty with Scotland though.

Roads are very basic and not wide enough to allow 2 buses past each other.

There are designated areas for one bus to pull over whilst the other passes.

We won't be going back, but if your fit and enjoy cycling and climbing, give it a try.

Incidentally, we never saw a seal!
