We stayed in a deluxe caravan which sleeps up to 6 (although this would be very cramped) This was our 1st caravan holiday in years so were a little anxious as to what to expect. On arrival the staff at the reception were friendly enough... More

Now for the bad... 1-tiny caravans 2- some undesirables 3-terrible service 4-noisy... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Great for:• Airspace indoor sports facility • Golfing and water fun • Sea views and sunsetsThis whole park slopes gently down toward the sea meaning that from certain points, you can see the waves rolling in from the Firth of Clyde. In calm weather we suggest walking down to the beach and going for a paddle, or taking a pedalo out on our boating lake. We’ve also got a lot to keep you entertained inside too, like our indoor multi-level pool complex, our new Airspace sports hall and two entertainment venues.
