 Just back from a lovely two night stay at cairnsmill. It was all very clean and the staff welcoming, had everything you need. We were so pleased when we saw there was a two ring electric top in the washing up room, this was great for filling our hot water bottles at night as it was raining, much better than getting camp stove on the go and getting wet. The pool which is included in the pitch fee is very nice and the games room. The pitch was on a bit of a slope but we had a few giggles about rolling onto each other, all good fun and would definitely go back. Morrisons and aldi just down the road so handy for supply's.

We have been coming to Cairnsmill for 7 years and have seen many changes over the last few years. Touring pitches are now all hard standing and large enough for van, awning and car. Some are fully serviced.
There are 2 toilet blocks in touring area. Maybe not enough showers when site is full but Iv never experienced having to wait. Toilet blocks are always clean.
The swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna is new this year and is really lovely and kept clean.
Behind the club there is a nice new lounge to sit in if you don't want to be in club area while entertainment is on and shout at each other over the music. We went in last night (thurs) and asked if the lounge was open, barmaid says not usually open on Thurs but she opened it to let us go in and sit in the nice comfy seats.
2 mins from Morrisons and Aldi and close enough to town.
Beaches are fantastic and always clean. Shame my dogs need washed after theyv had a run in the sand and a paddle in the sea!
There had been a mix up with my booking as our deposit payment hadnt gone through (which I made in may) and when I realised I hadnt recieved my usual postal confirmation I made a call to the office and the girl was very helpful and got us sorted out and was able to extend our stay to an extra night. She told us that she had tried to contact us several times by phone to recollect deposit but our answer machine wasn't working and our booking had in fact been cancelled. All the calls they made were logged on their computer. Efficient!
Saw a notice saying they were reconsidering allowing dogs on site due to owners not picking up dog poo. Hopefully this wont happen!
There are a couple of pitches which look onto statics and the toilet block but hey ho, I don't intend sitting in my van while I'm there so it doesn't bother me.
Cairnsmill also has free wi fi which is rare on a site!
Anyway, cant find any fault in this site at all.
Big changes, Big improvements, keep up the good work.
Booked up to return in Sept.

Stayed here for 2 nights in our tourer with our 2 young children and our dog.
We only booked a week or so beforehand and the touring site was full but they managed to accommodate us on a camper van pitch which was fine because we did not have an awning.
Check in was straightforward and the staff were friendly.
The site was kept in very nice condition and the toilets were as good as the caravan club sites.
The kids loved the swimming pool and the play parks
Never tried the bar/cafe so cannot comment on that.
Other guests were all friendly which is nice.
Will definitely be back.
If I could afford it, I'd happily get a seasonal pitch there.
St Andrews it's self is a special place and is just a quick drive down the hill, is walkable but not with young kids due to the road.

Well laid out site and beautifully maintained. Staff are very friendly and helpful and amenities are excellent.
Shower blocks are clean and well looked after. Lovely pool, bar and games room on site.
Close to St. Andrews and all the other delightful villages along this beautiful coastline. The site is near enough to the town to enqble the energetic camper to walk into town.
Will be returning in the very near future and would highly recommend the site.

Have just returned from a weekend break at Cairnsmill with our tourer. I must say this is one of the best sites we have ever been on. The facilities on this site are excellent, having been upgraded since our last visit the pool/sauna etc (did not use this time) but had a look round the and very nice. The bar/club & games room have also been upgraded and we did use the club even had a win at the bingo which was on, on the Friday & Sunday nights with music entertainment on the Saturday night which was very enjoyable.
Only gripe I have is that I wish the pitches were fully serviced (to attach hose direct to water outlet) as we are geared up for using these, but the shower areas were kept clean & tidy so really no complaints there, hence reason for 9/10 for facilities or that would also have been 10/10.
Thanks for a lovely stay and we will certainly be back.

Oh dear.
We travelled from Arisaig to this site expecting great things.
What a nightmare.
When checking in the staff gave us no information on the site or area. They simply handed over a site map took our money and that was that.
After we found our pitch we were glad we hadn't booked in for any longer than 1 night. The view was of static caravans and the back of the toilet block.
We were so disappointed that we spent the evening looking for nearby sites to move to.
In the morning we tried to have a shower at 10am and were told that they were closed for cleaning. When I asked when they would reopen I was told ' when the floor dries'
We were glad to leave.

Telephoned a few days before to book a pitch for three nights while the Dunhill Cup was on in the area. Lady receptionist was extremely efficient and very friendly. Arrived to book in and the same lady remembered everything about our booking and again made us feel very welcome. We had a lovely large hard standing pitch with fabulous views towards the hills.
Toilet and shower blocks spotless and warm. Free wifi which is most unusual but was very handy. We tow a scooter and had a very enjoyable time visiting the golf course and beach at kingsbarns only seven miles up the road. St. Andrews is a fantastic place for shopping, sightseeing and of course the beaches and golf.
The site has a lovely new swimming pool with jacuzzi and sauna which looked really nice. The staff and the manager were the friendliest we have come across during all our travels. We are due to return to St. Andrews in November and although the site is only open all year to statics, the receptionist advised that if we phone a day or two ahead of any visit outwith the normal season then we can have a pitch with electric and of course shower facilities will be available. This is great because there are not many sites open all year in this area.
We will definitely return in November and more often in the future. A real Scottish gem. Many thanks.

We booked a Weekend at Cairnsmill over the telephone. The booking procedure was very thorough and detailed this was followed by a posted confirmation with a comprehensive booking form to fill in and return to the site. PS the letter sent by Cairnsmill had no postage and I had to pay £1.50 to get the letter, which Cairnsmill kindly refunded on arrival.
The staff at reception were welcoming and friendly and we were allocated our pitch which was near the very busy road. There was quite a bit of traffic noise till late evening and from early morning. The site however was very nice in an elevated position above St Andrews with good views all round. The facilities excellent with a bar, which I looked at but did not use. A very impressive swimming pool with Spa, which my children and I used and enjoyed. There was also a good sized games room with coin operated machines. There were I think 3 small play areas, which were popular with young children.
The toilets were clean but I had to queue on Saturday morning for a shower as there were only 2 shower cubicles in each block, which was inadequate for the amount of tourers on site. The showers in toilet block A, nearest reception were dated and with nowhere to put your clothes as there were no shower curtain and 1 hook. There was a well stocked shop on site which opened early, with friendly staff.
A small gate at the north end of the site takes you out to the road for a 20 minute walk into the centre of beautiful St Andrews with much to see and do. There is a Morrisons Supermarket 5 minutes away with a Cafe and Pharmacy also an ALDI a short distance further. The site fees were a bit on the expensive side. But on the whole a nice site and I would return. Please upgrade the toilet block A, with more showers.

Just left this site after a 4 night stay. The tent area is on quite a slope and the stuff in our tent gradually started sliding down to one side. It rained quite a lot when we were there and the grass was really wet and sloshy. When arriving we were allocated a pitch which has a fence either side which can make it a bitty awkward for putting up your tent. EHU available for all pitches.
Toilet block was okay. I felt it could have been cleaner. We went for a look at the caravan area and The toilet block for caravans was much cleaner and looked nicer than the ones for tents which if I'm honest annoyed me slightly as tents have no option but to use these facilities. Showers for tents were separate from toilets and had shelves for putting your stuff on and a sink. It's a push button system which lasts for around 20 seconds.
Washing machine and tumble dryer are token only and cost £2 a token. Can be confusing to use!
Dish washing facilities is indoor which is good if it's raining. They were clean and tidy and plenty hot water. Taps were push ones so you had keep pushing to fill your basin.
Swimming pool and jacuzzi were great (and free!). We were £20 p/n for two adults. If you wish to use the sauna it has to be booked in advance of your visit to the pool as it takes around an hour to heat up. The sauna costs £2 p/h.
Morrisons just a 2 minute drive down the road.
Nice site situated in a nice area.

Just back from a one night trip ( to make sure my 5 year old enjoyed camping before we start taking him on longer trips)
Found the facility's were all clean and well laid out like previous comments. The showers were a bit of a pain as they are push buttons which lasted about 10 secs
Swimming pool and games room were great and bar was cheap enough
Did find the pitch was a bit pricey £18 for a small tent
