I have to start off with how clean and tidy the site is, the workers are always seen checking the site. The toilet blocks were clean all the time too which was really good, the showers were amazing powerful and lovely and hot.
We were on a hard standing purple pitch under the trees, the crows were nesting and the little beck behind our pitch was flowing so it was lovely listening to the nature.
We have been used to going to haven sites which has a lot more to do, we love an arcade so unfortunately for us this one was not fun at all very small, my kids love to go swimming but when they seen there was no slide they didn't want to use the pool.
If you're after a chilled break away then go for it but unfortunately we need a little more to do when on a site.
I don't recommend taking your dog if you are just going to leave it in the caravan whilst you go out as we had 2 neighbors do this and the dogs were howling for hours it was so sad to hear.
Lovely staff, very clean, thank you.

Not for us unfortunately.

As always this place is amazing can't wait to get back in 2024 to see what they've been up to in the winter the staff keep this lovely  park updated and beautiful what a great place it is.
Brilliant park with a range of services to suit all ages and in the middle of a fabulous area with loads to do for all ages.

Ab Fab

For the weekend for 5 people it was only £55 each , bring your own scran , live like a champ have steak n burgers with plenty of Budweiser , no check ups or anyone to disturb , have been many times and will always come back , best place to go down to and just turn your phone off and enjoy yourself 😎 only thing is if you book through hoseasons don’t cancel there a nightmare to get money back from 😷 but if I didn’t have to deal with them I’d book in twice a year easily 🌊🌊

Cheap , fun , Emersive

We stayed in a luxury caravan for 3 nights at the end of October.....and what I would say is I think there needs to be a rebranding of the description here.  The hot tub is great and we had no issues there.  However, nothing in the caravan is luxury.  I have stayed in many places like this before and at the very least I would expect things like a starter cleaning pack, a tea towel, bedding on all beds.  We booked a 3 bedroom caravan and one of the twin rooms had no bedding on the beds and no bedding available to make the beds up.  The bedding that was on the beds was quite threadbare and the duvets and pillows were very thin.  There was also absolutely nothing provided inside even down to a tea towel, a dishwasher but no dishwasher tablets, no washing up liquid, no cloths or sponge, no hairdryer provided in the bedroom.  The luxury caravans are not exactly cheap and I think these small things would make the world of difference and really should be included given the price.  We couldn't wash any dishes when we initially arrived as we had nothing at all to wash them either in the sink or in the dishwasher.  The oven is also very difficult to use, the grill goes off constantly and takes a long time to use.

On the positive side, the facilities are great for kids with the pool, arcade, parks and entertainment etc and the staff were very friendly.  I am not sure why you can't just order a drink at the RobnRoll bar though and you have to stand and put an order in to a machine when a member of staff is just standing waiting for that order behind the bar.  There were lots of older people struggling a bit with this and think it was a bit silly not to be able to just place an order with the barman when it is very quiet in particular.  

Overall, the park is brilliant for kids and we had a great time but I was disappointed with the lack of facilities within the caravan.

We had a great time but there are some things that need addressing

Three night stay with our touring van, great serviced pitch with fantastic views over the bay.
The facilities are exemplary, clean and modern. It's just a pity a few people have little respect for them.
The Leisure Center provides great entertainment and excellent value food. The outside play areas are fantastic.
We didn't go to the Sports bar but will do at our next visit.
The premium touring pitches located close to the Leisure complex, though well services and providing superb views over the bay will benefit from some attention to leveling as a number of them would be difficult to use for larger tandem axle vans such as ours. Also a high number of these premium pitches are occupied by what appear to be seasonal vans with associated clutter etc. All in all a great experience

Much to recommend 

Beautiful caravan with hot tub!! All amenities under 5 min walk from caravan. Lovely beach to walk on to and able to swim. Little shop with everything u need and entertainment good for kids and adults every night. Activities for kids through the day also 

Our favourite little haven next to the beach 

This place was a bit of a disappointment the website made it appear it was dog friendly but it was far from it, the only place you can take your dog is the sports bar, which is the only place that does not provide free WiFi and at £6 for 24 hours we were not paying for it, the bar does not serve food so your only option is to order a takeaway and eat in there be aware the takeaway has no cutlery there is no where else you dog is allowed in so if like us you have a dog who goes everywhere with you give this place a miss 

Not dog friendly

We camped here last night. Weather put us off staying tonight so it was cut short to one night.  
I didn’t get much sleep due to the party camper/tent near us, partying with loud music & singing until 2.45am, with no one telling them to be quiet. It’s suppose to be a quiet zone after 10am. This annoyed me! I’m all for partying…but in the correct surroundings. And this wasn’t it! 
The place it’s self was great, foods expensive though. 
Toilets by the tents were great & pretty clean with showers. 
Pitch was good, near main road so could hear all the lorries going by but didn’t bother us….they got drowned out by the party tent anyway!  
Beach 2 minute drive away, at the farm campsite just before here, £4 parking…kids loved it! Sandy! 
We will be back next summer but will plan a 3/4 day trip next time! 
Would recommend this place, staff were friendly, place was clean, lots to do, was good!  

Nice place

I have been coming to Auchenlairie since I was a child, and this was the third time I've now brought my family camping there. Overall our stay was fine, but unfortunately it probably won't be the destination for us in the future.

As usual the site was lovely and well cared for, with plenty of space. The size of the pitch was very generous, and the pizzas we got from the takeaway the first night were delicious. The toilet and shower blocks were generally maintained (though a number of toilet seats were loose or missing) and regularly cleaned, with plenty of warm water at a good pressure. 

Unfortunately, though, the pitch itself was so rocky we almost couldn't put our tent up at all, and nearly had to go home as we bent so many pegs trying. One of the toilet blocks is now composed of wet rooms each with a toilet, sink, and shower all together; a setup which just isn't for us. And we found the restaurant to be quite expensive, with rather disappointing food

Unfortunately underwhelming

Just got back from our family holiday,  we are gutted to be leaving! My mother-in-law paid extra to stay for the weekend as she wasn't ready to leave! Massive thank you to Lizzy and Nial so friendly, happy and up for a laugh even with our 3 little Thompsons being crazy as ever! You guys are a credit to the park 👏 there where so many things to do location is stunning with being having the beach at your doorstep, all 3 of our caravans where beautiful and spotless, we never had a bad meal either, Caitlin, Lena and Connor always had a smile! The pool was small but done its job way better when we got it to ourselves, soft play wasn't the best but the kids did enjoy the arcade, and Steven was fab too! The only down side was the bar supervisor, who we heard talk about us when his back was turned, he was rude made rediculas comments and rules, and we weren't the only ones that thought this also. This would be a 4 star review because  of him but its 5 because of all the other amazing staff and they deserve credit!
