Breath of fresh air

This is a great site - very peaceful (apart from the sheep which seemed very agitated and bleated all night on our first night there), with great views over to the coast of Northern Ireland and a real bonus on a CL - toilets and showers. There is also a laundry room which would be useful for washing dishes had the water heater on the tap been working. The welcome was very warm, from a very nice and friendly elderly chap (guessing he's the original farmer, now retired) who obviously enjoyed chatting with the caravanners there and that was a really nice touch. Although there are obviously no play facilities on a site of this kind, my young daughter was happy to watch the goats in the upper field and kick a ball around with a friendly dog from another caravan. Even if the site had been full there would still have been enough space for her to stretch her legs without getting in anyone's way. The only downside is the apparent requirement to drive everywhere as we usually like to walk or cycle to the nearest town when caravanning. There may well be a footpath to Portpatrick, which is two miles away, but we didn't find it. Not sure about buses either. It would be possible to cycle into Portpatrick for anyone not daunted by the A77, which is not too busy at that point, but more than I would be comfortable taking a small child on. Which is a shame as the area boasts some amazing quiet roads ideal for cycling. Anyway, we will be back as soon as we can manage!
