Mains of Machermore, Newton Stewart...Just the ticket!

As this relatively new site is situated just over 1/2ml from the A75, and a couple of miles from the town of Newton Stewart, it is ideal for touring the the SW corner of Scotland. To the East lies Gatehouse of Fleet and Kirkudbright, to the North East New Galloway, N. West to Glentrool and onto Girvan, to the West Stranrae and the Rhinns of Galloway, and to the South the Machars and Whithorn. The site has 5 large level H/S pitches with EHU, drinking water and a drain at each pitch, a combined shower and toilet in the information room, and free WiFi, and extensive views towards the north in particular. It is located down a narrow but mainly straight single track lane and being close to the A75 there is some traffic noise when the lorries from the ferry pass, but is not sufficient to cause much disturbance in my opinion. Newton Stewart has both a Sainsburys and and an Aldi as well as the usual smaller shops and hotels/pubs. For cyclist, in particular mountain bikers, the 7Stanes MBT Trails are close by at Kirroughtree and Glentrool, and also within easy driving distance are those at Dalbeattie, Mabie & Ae Forests, and all 5 forest have way marked walking trails. The site owners are very friendly and keen to help if needed. They also have a 4 bed cottage on their property which they rent out. We will not hesitate to return as there are many more place in the area for us to visit.
