    16 Sept 23 Excellent place, very friendly staff. We stopped off to swim, went to see the young lady in reception, very helpfull. Hot shower after then coffee, chips and cake ( dogs allowed ). We even filled our 10L tank with fresh water. It was so good we went back on the 17 Sept 23, same routine. A few people about having fun in the water and eating in the cafe. You will need to book if you want to carry out an activity or use the accommodation.

    Had a great day out at Galloway Activity Centre. We took part in Archery, the Water Slide and an afternoon of climbing. The archery and the climbing were brilliant and the instructors for each (Tom and Andy respectively) were welcoming, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The water slide was a bit of a let down, a 90 minute session (less getting into wetsuits!) was far too long for us. The instructor was great again and did try to introduce some variety with an attempt at a ball game but there’s only so many ways you can go down one water slide! The food on offer was basic but well priced and hit the spot at lunch time. All in all a great day out, would definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

    Just back from an amazing pre-Xmas break here in Dec 23. We booked on a bit of an impulse to get away from xmas stress and had an absolutely amazing time. We stayed in Red Kite which was extremely cosy and festive and enjoyed the experience of a winter hot tub immensely. We booked an archery session and had Rob all to ourselves for a great 90 min session (he was great with our 8 yr old). The site was quiet as you'd expect at this time but we'll definitely be back and would urge others to go at this time too as was a lovely festive treat.

    Stayed in the Otter Eco Bothy from the 01.01.24 for 4 nights and honestly, I have to say the stay was fantastic and beyond what we had expected. The Otter bothy is perfect for a romantic get away, we loved watching the wildlife from the comfort of the bothy, stargazing from the hot tub and utilising the 2 man kayak exploring the Loch. The setting is peaceful and perfect to forget your daily hustle of work etc. From the outset of being a very last minute booking by us, 24.12.23 Adam ensured that our booking went through and on day 2 of our stay showed us where the kayak for Otter was kept and some of the other Eco Bothy my husband and myself instantly booked a stay in Osprey, for an early hoilday with the rest of the family. Can not wait to return with the family and show them, what we have raving on about. We have also recommend to friends and work colleagues that like the outdoors to book a hoilday and relax at one of your bothy's

    Did the archery experience. Was great fun. Something else ticked off my bucket list. Have to give a mention to Tom, think we were his 1st clients. Very nice and friendly and we had a laugh, he's going to do well.

    We visited here with a disabled client and had the best day. Rob was fantastic and spent the whole day with us making sure everything was fine and safe and accommodating to our needs. We did a number of activities. Can't fault anything, was a fantastic experience, would highly recommend.
