Dumfries area of Scotland

C

Colliepal

We're thinking of trying this part of Scotland in September but can't decide on a site. We're members of both clubs and fancy using a 5 van site,though would consider any site, any recommendations? Have heard that tv reception can be a problem, is this true?
 
Try the Bladnoch Distillery.It's a Caravan Club CL inside a distillery. If you can get on the riverside pitch, it is beautiful. About 60 miles west of Dumfries, in Wigtown.
 
Hi Colliepal,

The Caravan Club show photos of a few Cl's in that area

1.P483 under the heading New Abbey ( very bottom of the page ) Landis Farm,which looks lovely.

2.P484--under Stranraer.....Greenloch House....this looks like paradise.

Haven't stayed at any of these,but have chosen to keep them on our list.

3.On the West Coast....Page 484 under Sandhead is a beautiful little hamlet called Port Logan.Muldaddie house CL sits high up with wonderful views over the bay.Went to see this place and thought it looked great....although might be tricky when a gale blows in.

I think the CL at the distillery which Emmerson mentioned is in fact a CS.
 
That sounds like a good place to start! Is there much to do in that area if the weather's wet, got to keep two Border Collies happy?
 
Lord B.

Sorry,no it isn't on their web-site.Any article I see in magazines which is of interest to me......I cut out and keep as a reference.

My son and his young family go to Brighouse Bay each year.It is a great spot to have a holiday.There is a web-site to look at,

LMAOOOOOOO gawd woman, you know how to confuse a silly b*gger like me. I thought "funny, I've never noticed pics in the handbook " so I got it out of the drawer and looked at page 483 and found no pics. Now I did think I was losing it at this stage but then thought ahhhhhh, she probably meant the website heheheh!
 
I would recommend Brighouse Bay. This is the exact opposite of a 5 van CL but really is a fantastic site. TV is a problem in that area but you can get a pitch with TV hook-up. There is plenty to do in Dumfries & Galloway including the Galloway Forest Park which is the largest forest park in the UK - that should keep your dogs happy.
 
just keep an eye on your dogs in galloway forest park.it has quite a lot of adders,as a few unlucky dogs have found to their cost.just make a little noise and you wont see them.the forest drive is lovely and so is the otter pool,although last time we were there the otter (bronze)had been stolen
 
Well I've scoured both clubs listings for 5 van sites in this area of Scotland and still can' decide, it always seems much of a guess as to whether a 5 van site wil suit, still plenty of time yet.

Anyone bought the 5 van site DVD's that the Caravan Club are selling?
