Charming Site

A great little site set in wonderful countryside. Mr and Mrs Carruthers were welcoming and gave us a choice of pitches. The pitches were spacious with electric hook up. The site itself was clean and tidy and quiet. The toilet was in a large outbuilding but was clean and tidy with a generous size wash basin and hot water with paper towels, soap, and waste bin. As the building was large this also served as a general information point with Information Leaflets and Booklets in a closed box. The shower block at the top of the site was modern, heated containing WC, Shower, Information Area, Seat. There were 2 shower rooms one being for Disabled with handrails etc. Again, both were spotlessly clean and tidy. New Abbey is a short distance and has a local shop selling most things and Sweetheart Abbey is worth a visit. Threave Gardens are well worth a visit and the tea room is good. The most local pub is The Steamboat Inn at Carsethorn which serves good pub meals. The RSPB Mersehead site is also worth a visit. Castle Douglas has a good mixture of shops. All in all this is a good site to use as a base to explore the local area and would highly recommend Landis Farm Campsite.

Little gem

What a wonderful discovery, this site is absolutely amazing. Peaceful and quiet with great views, loads of dog walks from the site. The owners, Mr and Mrs Carruthers are welcoming and have great knowledge of the area. On the CL site all the five pitches are huge and well spaced out. All have great views. The shower rooms are the best we have ever been in, spotlessly clean and spacious. I can honestly say that this site is far superior to club sites. Will definitely be back.

Superb CL site

What a find. Stunning, tranquil site with breath-taking views and friendly owners. The site is beautifully kept with such care. Dotted around are expertly restored/looked after antique farming implements as points of interest. Pet goats as well. The hard standing pitches make it suitable for all weather. Can't praise it enough. Well done and thank you to Mr & Mrs Carruthers for your hard work and care.

Amazing CL

Landis Farm is simply an amazing CL, I cannot find anything to fault it. Mr and Mrs Carruthers are very welcoming and keep the site immaculate. Pitches are well spread out, some with awesome views, and dotted with interesting vintage farm machinery, which fascinated our children, dotted around. There are lots of bird feeders and flowers to encourage nature. The goats and friendly farm cats were a big hit with our children too. The CL has its own toilet which is spacious, spotless and has piping hot water for washing of hands. The shower block is shared with the adjacent private site (5 unit too - Criffel View) and is only a short walk away. There is lots to do in the local area for families - our children are 9, 7 and 6. We particularly enjoyed the circular walk up to Wellington Monument from the site (do not let young children up the tower unattended), the beach at Sandyhills (worth walking a little way to the right/SW to get away from the crowds) and Mabie Forest Park. This site and area is definitely on out 'to return to' list.

Stunning site

Stayed for six nights on our way south from the Highlands. Absolutely wonderful site. Peaceful with spotless facilities and an amazing number of birds to spot whilst relaxing near the van. Colin and Sandra were perfect hosts, helpful but not intrusive and the tour of the tractors was an added bonus. Showers spotless and well laid out. The walk into New Abbey was not taxing and the Café in the village was an added bonus. Would love to visit again.

Simply gorgeous! I can't add anything to the many outstanding reviews that have already been posted. Superb location in a beautiful part of Scotland, very well maintained with excellent facilities, lovely owners. We even got sunshine! What more could you ask for?

Beautiful views

Warm welcome on arrival by Colin, and a choice of lovely well spaced pitches. Each pitch has its own unique vista, wether this be Criffle Hill, the Waterloo Monument or some of the vintage farm machinery and tractors. All the facilities were spotless, with hand gel readily available and Sandra making regular rounds to keep everything spic and span. A short walk from the site led to Sweetheart Abbey, and the local cafe, selling excellent coffee and scones amongst many other choices. We had a fabulous peaceful and relaxing stay, our first outing for 2021 as the restrictions start to ease. Hope to be back again! One of the best CL’s we have had the privilege to stay at in our 30 years of caravanning.

Pretty and peaceful site

Was met on arrival with a welcoming and friendly smile, and could immediately see how well kept and pretty the location was. The pitch size is fantastic and the views are amazing, we had the pleasure of being neighboured next to the goats which was an added bonus for entertainment! Every detail on the site, such as the painted farm machinery and flowers, to well manicured grass and bird feeders dotted all around made this CL site so pretty. Everything is clean, well positioned, private and it is ideally situated for some lovely walks with the dogs. Also, the local village has a lovely gift shop/cafe ‘Abbey Cottage Tea Rooms’ and I would definitely recommend popping in for something to eat or just a coffee and sweet treat, you won’t be disappointed. Our first ever visit to Scotland but we would definitely visit again and look to stay at Landis Farm.

Lovely site

Just back from a 4 night stay at Landis Farm. Very peaceful site with very helpful and welcoming hosts. Plenty walking directly from the site and/or a short drive away. There is direct access to the Kirkconnel flow, although the walking route was a wellie job due to a couple of muddy gateways. 10 minute drive to a lovely beach at Sandy Hills. Exceptionally clean and well kept site with sanitisers at the major touch points. Liked it so much we booked for over New Year before we left
