    Great spot in the AONB. Toilets were left open overnight which is great; not the best toilets but in fully working order which is all you can ask. There are bins here. No phone signal. We were alone all night here, some road noise but stop at night.

    Beau spot pour dormir en pleine campagne. Belle vue au réveil. Endroit très calme, nous étions seulement 2 véhicules. Accès aux toilettes publiques pratique mais très sale.

    Lovely spot in a really rural area. Great amenities, benches, covered area etc. The highlight is the dog, who arrived as we did, herded us in and then spent the evening playing with us. He returned for a bit more fetch in the morning.

    What an amazing peaceful spot. On arrival we were greeted by a sheepdog we called Dave from the farm down the Road, who herded our motorhome safely into position then badgered us to play ball for a couple of hours until the farmer whistled him in. A few cars passing but no bother. Spotlessly clean and a bin by both parking spaces. No phone signal meant we had a peaceful night away from our phones.

    Ein wirklich toller Ort, sehr ruhig und abgelegen, die Toiletten sind jetzt kein Highlight, aber benutzbar, Mülleimer sowie Trinkwasser vorhanden, wir hatten Handyempfang und langsames Internet mit Giffgaff, kein Internet mit Lyca, Vodafone und EE.

    We've literally just arrived and instantly left, and the only reason is, there is absolutely no mobile phone network, both on O2 or EE. Shame, looked lovely.

    Great spot, lovely, quiet, surrounded by fields full of sheep! Very well designed free car park: 2 motorhome spaces with drains for emptying grey water, tap at back of toilet block labelled "mains water" The 2 toilets were open and well kept (lights not working, take a torch at night!) Picnic tables and a pergola. Loved it!

    Car park closed due to Forest maintenance…

    Hemos pasado una buena noche, los baños estaban cerrados. Hay un grifo de agua detras de los baños. Mesas de picnic y una pergola para estar debajo cuando llueve, hemos estado de lujo.

    Brilliant spot. Very quiet, secluded in wooded car park ideal for hiking. One toilet open and access to water tap to refill camper at the rear of toilet block.

    Great spot, road is a bit narrow to get there but well worth the adventure. (Toilets were still closed due to Covid)

    Lovely quiet night spent here. Great views of the mountains and valley. Toilets closed due to COVID-19 but tap still working and plenty of bins.

    Calme, paisible, et bien aménagé. Nous avons pu faire les vidanges et le plein d'eau.

    Super endroit, nous y avons passé 2 nuits calmes réveillés par les moutons et les vaches, à 30 mn de Belfast, très pratique.

    Emplacement tranquille, en pleine campagne (chemin magnifique, route étroite), nous étions seuls.
