Stayed a few nights before catching ferry to Ireland from Stranraer. Roads are expectedly fairly narrow for a motorhome but with care it is quite possible to tour the area and visit its many lovely villages and RSPB centre.
A lovely quiet site.
One of the most peaceful places on earth.
We don't live too far away from New England Bay and use the site for last minute weekends away. It's ideal for dog walking and just chilling out and we cannot commend the staff highly enough. We'll be back often.
Rainy June
Peace and quiet, great dog walking site, very friendly folk looking after things. We had a good relaxing holiday in spite of the weather. Beautifully clean, well looked after site: a bigger shop with more variety would be nice?
only 2 nights
We had one day of rain and one lovely day when we cycled to RSPB Mull of Galloway (highly recommended) and enjoyed watching birds as well eating toasties in the café! Site as always excellent.

listen carefully, you might here nothing!
We (my wife and the dog blu) booked this site as a test for future bookings in our stop over to break the journey before we boarded the ferry at cairnryan for belfast. What a good choice, although it is half an hour from the port the site is superb and somewhere that could become a destination for future holidays or good touring breaks. It is extremly clean and well tended, with great walking or strolling paths and areas bordered by fantastic scenery. The site is literally on the beach, and we chose a pitch approx 20 yds from the gently sloping beachfront to the lovely clear waters of Luce bay. The facilities on site are great, with good attention paid to hygiene and cleanliness. Showers are powerful and warm, and the potwash and communial areas very tidy and user friendly. Perhaps i should write a poor review to help keep this place a secret, but that would be unfair and disrespectful to the wardens who obviously put great personal pride in maintaining this gem of a site. Try it, i am sure you will not be disappointed, just dont blame me for the weather!!! After all It is the west coast of Scotland.
Totally blissful holiday
Great stay, site layout was excellent, loved the sea view pitch that we had. Stayed for a week 11-18th June good weather, wish we could have stayed longer. Wardens were friendly and helpful. Toilets /showers spotless, the site was well maintained. Dogs loved their swims twice a day lovely beach. Logan botanical gardens, Port Logan Newton Stewart, Sandhead all nice places to visit. We will definitely be back next year, Thanks for a great holiday.
Beautiful peaceful clean site
What an amazing jewel of a site! Fabulous location, lovely pleasant helpful wardens too. Very generous pitches (our moho is 29ft long)...beach 2 minutes away. Excellent for dog walking and the bay was shallow, warm with crystal clear water. There were 2 shower blocks and the showers were amazingly hot and powerful and all facilities were immaculately clean. We stayed for a week and met some nice folks. We'll definitely return next year and would definitely recommend this site.
Great site, and super wardens. The best.
I am most impressed by the excellence of the site at New England Bay. On our visit commencing three weeks ago, we noticed that the pitch next to ours was a seasonal pitch which appeared to be vacant. We enquired, and the wardens confirmed that it was available. A brief call to head office later, we were the happy possessors of a seasonal pitch with five months left to run. Furthermore, the lovely wardens refunded the fee we had paid for our three week booking and we set this against the fee for the seasonal pitch, so that we were not, in effect, paying twice. At a very busy time, Jacqui (warden) cheerfully sorted out all the complexities of the fees (we had an adult son staying with us as a guest for part of the stay, and his charges had to be re-applied as well). Excellent service, and an immaculate, welcoming site. Our favourite.

Total relaxation
What a great site, spacious pitches, many with views of the beautiful beach. You can pitch right by the beach or in the sheltered areas between the banks of gorse bushes. There are two spotlessly clean toilet blocks with good hot showers, curtains to keep the dressing area dry and even stools in each one. The onsite shop has all the basics you need, plus the best ice cream ever. A fish and chip van calls every Tuesday and Friday evening (the chicken supper is great) and there is a lovely bakery van on Wednesday mornings. Last but certainly not least, the wardens are the friendliest ones we have met and obviously take great pride in their site.

May to June 2016
Great site , area , and weather , VERY disappointed at the large number of dogs wandering around , they almost outnumbered the humans ! This is a trend I have noticed lately , some people had 3 or even 4 dogs , so when you factor in all the wee-wee and poo-poo most of the ground is going to be contaminated (and some owners didn't bother to clean up at all) , shame that animals could potentially spoil a lovely site for people.
