 This is a lovely and small countryside site, on a working farm. Owner John was friendly, helpful and welcoming.

Clean facilities. Peaceful location immersed in nature yet with the convenience of a small store and post office five minutes walk away.

There is a lovely atmospheric museum come lounge on site. This includes a window looking out over the countryside with a rocking chair in situ so that you can sit and contemplate the view.

Convenient location for Larne and the ferry port 20 minutes, and Carrickfergus 25 minutes.

I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Northern Ireland.

 Lovely little site on a farm.

Good for exploring islandmagee and walking distance to The Gobbins Visitor centre.

Only improvement would be for dishwasher facilities

 Beautiful, quiet location, friendly host.

Clean toilet and shower facilities- well worth the additional fee for shower.

Fresh eggs available on site. Short walk to general store.

Some minor improvements could be made (provision of a mop in the shower room;

Hose for cleaning Elsan and grey waste after use, although both were spotlessly clean)

Flat level pitches with views of the estuary.

 Lovely quiet site with basic serviceable facilities.

Owner is very helpful and approachable.

Charges have increased due to rising electric costs. We paid £25 p/n & if a shower was required then an extra £3. 50 was required. So a little costly in our opinion.

Good location for touring the Antrim coast, Giants Causeway & Belfast if you are prepared for driving to reach these locations.

 Absolutely wonderful place. The owner was a lovely gentleman who made me feel like nothing was too much trouble.

Fresh eggs available on site. Theres also a community room a small museum and lots of little nooks and rooms.

Short walk to shop, post office and even an "everyone welcome" community garden with fresh veg and herbs and a sensory section too all nearby.

Close to the gibbons.

I didn't use the facilities available but there was a shower ect on site if needed. A truly wonderful start to my holiday.

I will be back

 Overall a nice site in a good location. Ideal as a first stop after travelling over on the ferry.

Facilities were ok, a bit dated. Didn't use the showers so can't comment. Spar shop nearby and the visitor centre (and cafe) for the Gobbins which is well worth a visit.

In fact it's a superb walk and well worth the money. One gripe is that you need to watch where you tread on site. Were the owners dogs responsible or visitors; who knows.

There wasn't a lot but you only need to tread in one to get that sinking feeling.

 Setting was perfect for arriving off the evening ferry into Belfast.

Lovely site, friendly dogs and lots different fowl. Eggs available.

5 mins to the train for Belfast and a short walk to The Gibbons.

We'll stocked just up the road.

Would definitely return.

Reviewer: Mrs. Bonce 398 reviews from this member

 OK for an overnighter from the Larne ferry, about 7 miles away, but we found it to be too small and cramped for our large caravan. Also could not get Sky tv on our pitch which was near the entrance. Ask for a pitch at the far end if this is important. The access road is also a bit narrow.

There doesn't seem to be anywhere to walk the dog, we really struggled to find somewhere. In fact, Northern Ireland seems to be very lacking in footpaths compared to mainland UK.

The owners are very friendly, but the above points have put us off from returning which we were meant to be for 3 nights. Now going to a CL near Lough Neagh.

Reviewer: Spikeymatt 4 reviews from this member

 To the owners a big thank you for making our stay so good. Very friendly and helpful.

This site is ideal if using the Larne /Cairnryan P.O ferries, easy to travel to and welcoming if on a late arriving ferry.

The site overlooks the inlet and is quiet and well managed. A community room with table, chairs, settees and a TV is provided if you want to leave your van or tent.

Mace and Spar shops are available in the village a matter of a couple of hundred yards away with hot fresh foods cooked on the premises.

We spent 3 nights on our arrival then returned on our last night before catching the ferry home. So many places to visit from here even to Mount Stewart and Portaferry. Will return if age and health permit.
