CL of the Year Award 2023 - Winner
Landis Farm Caravan and Motorhome site is located just outside the pretty village of New Abbey in Dumfries and Galloway. New Abbey is famous for the ruins of Sweetheart Abbey which is in the centre of the village. The village is located on the South West Coastal 300 Route making it a perfect stop off if you are travelling around the area.
All pitches have electric hook up and are hardstanding. There is a toilet and shower facility fully set up for wheelchair and disabled access with a wet room facility and the other side of the block has a shower, hand basin and wc. There is free Wi-Fi available on site. We are a small, friendly site based on a working farm which has been in our family for over ninety years. We are lucky to be situated in the unspoilt countryside of Dumfries and Galloway. The quiet surroundings offer peace and tranquility but we are ideally located for a host of activities in the region. We are dog friendly.
Around The Site
You don't need to use your car if you fancy a walk or some history or a cup of tea and a cake. Footpaths from the farm will take you to the Nith estuary, Waterloo Monument and Criffel hill. We are only a ten minute walk from the beautiful village of New Abbey featuring the historic Sweetheart Abbey and a Cornmill which is open to the public. There is a small shop, village pub and award winning tea room and gift shop in the village. You are also welcome to view our collection of vintage tractors and meet some of the farm residents including goats, chickens and cattle.
Further Afield
Dumfries and Galloway is a magnet for walkers, cyclists, fishermen and golfers. The town of Dumfries is also well known for it's connection with Robert Burns and there are a number of interesting places to visit. Some local attractions we'd suggest are:
Mabie Farm Park - Only ten minutes drive from the site, is a great day out for families.
Kirkconnel Flow - This nature reserve is only 3 miles from the site.
Caerlaverock and Mersehead - Both of these areas are a must for bird watchers.
Driving along the coast road will take you to a range of secluded bays including Sandyhills, Rockcliffe and the marina village of Kipford. The town of Dalbeattie is a little further on and past there you will find the Food Town Castle Douglas and the Artist Town Kirkcudbright.

Landis Farm
Landis Farm
We stayed at this site on our recent holiday which saw us using CL sites for the first time. Sandra and Colin were out and about regularly on the site and happy to chat or suggest walks/places to visit. We had a lovely pitch with good views over the surrounding countryside. The facilities were excellent; there is a large toilet for the Landis Farm CL and a clean and spacious shower block which is shared with the Criffel View site (on a different part of the farm). There are walks from the farm and we went to New Abbey, where there is a good cafe, and also down to the River Nith. Lack of time meant that we didn't explore the area as much as we would have liked, but Dumfries Museum was interesting, and Castle Douglas is a bustling wee town with lots of interesting shops, as well as Thrieve House and gardens nearby. We also visited Wigtown which has numerous bookshops and cafes. If back in this area, we would definitely stay at Landis Farm again.
Peaceful site, lovely views
Landis Farm
Well-kept site as described elsewhere in more detail. The picnic bench next to the pitch was a nice touch. Up a hill, so there are great views over the village and the abbey to Criffel. Several large caravans were on site, despite the narrow rough access road.

Just can’t fault this CL
Landis Farm
By far this is the best CL we have stayed at. The farm setting was beautiful, very well maintained with much attention to detail. The toilet and showers very clean and spacious. Excellent wi-fi.
Our hosts were helpful and very pleasant.
This site is a must.

A lovely CL site
Landis Farm
Very friendly welcome from CL site owners Colin and Sandra and a helpful sheet of information provided of local places, shops/eating out/vets /GP etc. also Wi Fi on site which is included in price, better value than the main club sites.
The site is lovely and well cared for on a working farm in amongst beautiful scenery and near to Sweetheart Abbey (15 min walk), pitches are good size, all hardstanding with great toilet and new shower facilities.
Vintage tractor collection for those who enjoy these things.
Entrance to the CL site is through single width lanes off the main road so you don't want to be too early and meet a unit coming the other way, apart from this access is good.
We enjoyed our 3 night stay, nice quiet site, friendly owners and very interesting area with lovely walks.
We would definitely return to this site again when visiting Scotland on holiday.

What's not to love!!
Landis Farm
VERY easy to find although the track to the site is...'interesting' ;)
A very warm welcome from site owner Sandra and we could instantly see that this site was well cared for. We had pitch 5 which was at the bottom of the site facing the beautiful views. The weather was extremely hot (30 degrees) so the bit of shade offered was much appreciated. Loved having our own picnic bench and easy access to water and elsan.
We're currently on a Club site and can honestly say that the facilities are not a patch on the fabulous ones offered at Landis Farm CL that are fresh and always spotlessly clean.
Sandra and Colin are perfect hosts and always had time to chat, offering advice or help where needed.
We spent 11 nts here and really didn't want to leave!!
There's nothing not to love about this site - well done to Colin & Sandra for a wonderful CL.!
