Date of Visit: August 2016 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Bettyburke 4 reviews from this member

 A better location would be difficult to find.

This site is perched on the cliffs above the lively and pretty little town of Port Patrick.

We were a party of 4 adults in 2 small motorhomes. Initially, we could not have adjacent pitches as the touring pitches were booked up due to it being Port Patrick's lifeboat weekend.

The owners were such friendly helpful people. Nothing was too much trouble. They were happy for us to move our pitch when one became free next to our friends. They personally escorted all tourers to their pitches and were on hand if the office was closed.

The shower block was immaculate at all times and I loved the Radio 2 playing in there.

Add in an amazing view from the cliff path, the proximity to Port Patrick, very quiet roads for cycling and you have the perfect Scottish holiday destination.

 What a beautiful site with stunning views over the sea. We used this site years ago with a tent, but tents are no longer allowed. We have a camper van and this place is ideal. The lady in charge was very accomodating when we decided to stay an extra night. The facilities are good and have been updated, but there is not as much space. 2 toilets are not enough for the size of site, but we will be back.

Reviewer: Alanawayfromhome 17 reviews from this member

 Lovely peaceful site with spectacular views.

We stayed here at the end of August, 2 glorious days followed by monsoon, pretty much summing up this Summer

The site is mainly statics but tourers are well catered for with a modern, very clean and warm toilet and shower block with abundant supply of hot water. Radio 2 playing is a nice touch.

Motorhome service point with Chemical disposal and waste water point near the site entrance.

The site has some of the hardest working owners we've come across, always on the go and so friendly and welcoming.

The touring sites with the fantastic views are not hardstanding and are a bit away from the showerblock, but its only a few hundred yards and the compensation of the outlook is well worth it.

Water is available at several points and there are plenty of electric hook ups.

There are hard standings close to the shower block but they don't have the views, your choice.

Portpatrick is a smashing wee town and there is a clifftop walk, I think at least part of which is the Soutern Upland Way, well maintained but decent walking shoes advisable, from the site into the town, say 10/15 minutes if you can resist stopping to admire the views over to Ireland.

There is a good selection of eateries, post office grocery stores and newsagents.

The RNLI station has a small exhibition and shop at the picturesque harbour. Dunskey Gardens are just outside the town, this is one of 5 superb gardens in the area, well worth visiting not least for its coffee shop.

Galloway is an relatively undiscovered area so pretty quiet but well rewarding

Reviewer: Walker Dan 9 reviews from this member

 We don't normally leave reviews unless a site is spectacularly good or bad, in this case the site was excellent. We had the choice of 9 or 10 flat grass pitches with views over the remains of Dunskey Castle to the sea. Port Patrick was a short 15 minute walk along a lovely coast path. The grassed area we were on could be a bit crowded if all pitches taken but we were the only ones on over a warm and sunny weekend so doesn't seem to get too busy. Toilets and showers were spotless with piped music but were a couple of hundred yards away. Only downside was the chemical disposal point that was 300 yards away so necessitated taking the van down which we did on the way out when we left so not a real issue for us. Very quiet site with a number of statics which were nicely spaced and laid out so no feeling of being hemmed in.

Reviewer: Opticmar 2 reviews from this member

 Very clean, quiet and well maintained site. Owners were really helpful and obliging. We got the choice of pitch beside toilets or about a 2-3 minute walk away up on hill overlooking the Irish sea, which we chose. Toilet block was immaculate and piping hot water. Shortcut down to Portpatrick was easy to walk and the twon itself was great. Would recommend this site happily. Thank you for a great long weekend.

Reviewer: Helenjh 2 reviews from this member

 Stayed at the holiday park for one night and found it to be excellent. It mostly had static caravans with some allocated space for tents, campervans etc. Customer service was excellent and it was a very friendly site on the whole. The location is great for visiting portpatrick. There is a lovely path along the coast taking you into portpatrick in about10/15 mins. There is a children's play area on site though we didn't have time to use it. The toilet block was clean and the whole site was well kept. Would definitely stay there again if in the area.

Reviewer: GPDJP 13 reviews from this member

 We were impressed with this site. The owners are working hard to make changes and improvements to what is already a lovely site.

It is largely a static park but there are several touring pitches which overlook the Irish Sea and on a clear day/evening you can see Northern Ireland quite easily.

The toilet and shower facilities were modern and clean but quite a distance from the touring pitch area. Also the chemical dump point was a long walk. Don't let your cassette get too full if you do not have wheels!

There is a spectacular cliff top walk which takes about 15 minutes into Portpatrick town and harbour. Both are very scenic and there are food shops and some interesting gift shops to explore. It is worth the walk but do not get too much shopping as there are quite a few steps to climb on the return journey!

Reviewer: Farmer 46 4 reviews from this member

 We received a warm welcome when we arrived and were given a hard standing pitch at the front of the park. Most of the touring pitches are close to the sea we some views, which we were intially a bit disappointed about as the views are breathtaking. However, we were very relieved the following day when the wind picked up and we had a reasonably sheltered pitch.

The toilet and shower facilities were very good. They were always clean and very quiet. The radio was on which meant you could have a little dance while in the shower, which I really liked.

The walk into Portpatrrick was stunning and although we were concerned about our toddler walking there and back it was a very short walk and only took us about 20 mins.

There is no shop on site, although we tended to buy provisions from the shop in Portpatrick before we walked back.

The play park was good and was usually very quiet.

We would definitely stay at this site again.

Reviewer: Burns02 1 review from this member

 Excellent site overlooking the irish sea. Very well maintained, extremely friendly owners and Managers always eager to help. Very quiet and relaxing, very well kept toilet and shower block(new) Grass well kept, regularly cut. Caravans very well spaced out with fantastic views not in rows like other sites.

Beautiful clifftop walk down into Portpatrick itself. Small amusement arcade and swing park for kids. Dog Friendly Gorgeous, pleasurable trip. Would recommend this site to anyone. Very changeable weather which is very good.

Closeby to lots of other attractions and short distance from ferry ports over to Ireland. If you are looking for avery relaxing holiday with beautiful views then Galloway Point is an ideal retreat for anyone of any age.

Reviewer: Oldgazza 25 reviews from this member

 Stayed for 2 nights. Relatively new owners of this site have provided a state of the art toilet, shower laundry block, one of the very best I have used. So don,t let previous reviews sway you on this as the old facilities have been replaced. A great location a short 20 minute walk to the lovely port of Portpatrick along the clifftop path, lots of steps though. The port has 4 pubs all serving food and the fish and chips from the van on the harbour wall are to die for. A lovely location, well kept, good facilities and I can only see the new owners improving this site if the quality of the service block is anything to go by. Dog friendly also. The site is predominantly statics with 2 touring areas, but I don't think they accept tents now, so check first. Static owners were extremely friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this site.
