So quiet but great facilities
Moss-side Farm
It was a pleasure to visit this site. Friendly people, lots of home made goodies sold for charity. Peaceful, wonderful views and access to a great beach. Lots to do in the area.
Disappointed
Moss-side Farm
Having read the reviews we booked this site for 2 nights in September. Had we been on the original part of the CL it would have been ok, however, we were in an adjoining area where there were 2 extra pitches on hardstanding and with water and electric to both pitches. The hardstanding was made of recycled tarmac and nature was beginning to take over with grass growing through. The two pitches were close together and I would doubt there was room for an awning, as there was a path either side of the two pitches. Behind us was a small paddock, and on our second day we were surprised to see a 'motorhome' parked behind us! There was a low fence between us but the motorhome was little more than 1 metre away. I use the term motorhome loosely as it was just a small converted van. On our second night there were 8 units on the site. We have used CLs for many years all over the UK and have always enjoyed our experiences.

What a gem !
Moss-side Farm
Arrived along the single track lane wondering where we would end up. What a surprise to be only yards from the banks of Solway Firth. Level hardstandings with own water and views to die for. Very clean and tidy. Has a shower and toilet which we were not expecting. Has shop with odds and ends and honesty box. Next door holiday park has great restaurant/cafe by easy access along the beach. Local museum called 'Devils Porridge' well worth visiting - its not what you think. Great CL all round.
A PERFECT STOPOVER ON OUR SCOTTISH TOUR
Moss-side Farm
I couldn’t have picked a more perfect CL to stop at in the area.
We had a very warm welcome and the site was absolutely spotless with stunning views.
It was sunny and I hadn’t realised how close we were to the beach (an unusual beach and a long walk to the waters edge but lovely to have it all so close).
The site accepts dogs but they must be kept on a lead. There is a beautifully mown grass area that you look out on and the sea is in the distance. It was so quiet and peaceful.
Just one toilet and shower but that was fine.
I wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend it.
Thank you,
Glossie

Moss Side Farm Annan
Moss-side Farm
Approached via a single track road this working farm is easy to find and access the CL ‘parking areas’, we arrived late on the 6th may and stayed for two nights.
So first of all, would we stay again? Absolutely, this is a quiet spot and very tranquil, the firth is a matter of a hundred yds or so away with views across to Cumbria, good facilities in terms of EHU and water but couldn't find the waste water drain, which didn't matter for a two day stay.
We visited Gretna Gateway for an hour or two which gets rid of the retail therapy urge and supports the local economy.
As we are still in the pandemic restrictions we couldnt buy anything from the farm itself which was a shame but hey ho!
Be aware local roads are single track and as can be expected can be tight when meeting tractors/wagons on the way out (or in)
In summary, lovely site, and will be back!
