It's relaxing and the icing on the cake is a lovely dog walking area which is well kept with lots of grass and trees. This site will appeal to all age groups and families.. · via Google [colette Boyd](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115628078654036458265/reviews) ★★★★★ Had a fab weekend stay with my family, the park is spotless and the pods were amazing added bonus that they had a shower and toilet. The hot tubs were a big hit with the kids too and the play park on site was ideal as well as they were so close to the pods. Very friendly family orientated place we took our 4 month pup away with us for the first time and was a bit wary of how he would be but he was super chilled and content . We will definitely be booking back up again this summer the site isn't that big so you can let the kids run about freely and not need to worry about them getting lost . · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x486273ae86f5b4d9:0x77ffa17887afb580!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Girvan, KA26 9AJ [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=55.2430624%2C-4.8626086) **Category** Beaches & Coastline **Guest rating** 4.5 / 5 (2,357 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Outdoor **Dogs allowed** Yes **Good for children** Yes **Destination** Barr [More attractions in Barr](https://staycation.co.uk/barr/attractions) ★ 4.5 (2,357 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.thebeachguide.co.uk/south-scotland/strathclyde/girvan.htm?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Barr **Postcode** KA26 9AJ **Plus Code** 9C7Q4672+VQ [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x486273ae86f5b4d9:0x77ffa17887afb580!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x486273ae86f5b4d9:0x77ffa17887afb580!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x486273ae86f5b4d9:0x77ffa17887afb580!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Barr Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
