Lovely friendly check in staff, we had plot 5 nesr reception overlooking the green and onto the beach. We had a few drinks in the onsite pub which were great value and staff were welcoming & friendly. The site is across yhe toad from Prestwick airport so yes planes and helicopters fly over regulary but quietens down early evening. It doesnt bother us, quite the opposite, we are military aviation fans! Great value serviced pitches too , wevwill be back in the summer! · via Google [stacy shepherd](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115942199992560995198/reviews) ★★★★★ I know some people grumble at the cost, but it was a really lovely site. The women at reception were so friendly, asked about our child & dogs name. We had a work meeting & they allowed us to check out a smidge later. Beach is INCREDIBLE and only a 5 min walk & the facilities were all spotless. Plane noise is loud but you get used to it & 2 year olds get abit of free entertainment. · via Google [Jim Diack](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111409149898782390584/reviews) ★★★★★ Great site, very friendly with great facilities, including a family and dog friendly restaurant. Very close to miles of beautiful beaches and some of Scotlands best golf courses. 2nd visit in our Tourer and will definitely be back. · via Google [Angela Hughes](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114474315249512453718/reviews) ★★★★★ Been here a few times now and it never disappoints. Lovely facilities and great staff. Good location inbetween Royal Troon and Prestwick golf courses. Beach walks straight off site so great for dogs. Bar and restaurant cosy and friendly with lovely home cooked food. Will be back. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x4889d3fa89eca8c9:0xba224903b26b66db!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Esplanade [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=55.5009498%2C-4.6190915) **Category** Beaches & Coastline **Guest rating** 4.4 / 5 (693 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Outdoor **Dogs allowed** Yes **Good for children** No **Destination** Prestwick [More attractions in Prestwick](https://staycation.co.uk/prestwick/attractions) ★ 4.4 (693 reviews) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Prestwick **Payment** Contactless **Plus Code** 9C7QG99G+2R [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x4889d3fa89eca8c9:0xba224903b26b66db!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x4889d3fa89eca8c9:0xba224903b26b66db!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x4889d3fa89eca8c9:0xba224903b26b66db!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Prestwick Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
