The Greenside was renovated in 2020/2021. Their pizzas are the best in the area (just my opinion... and if you like thin crust), but really anything tastes fine there. You may need to book, as they get busy, particularly on weekends.

Parks & Nature
This actually refers to the beach 'Croy Shore' and not the holiday park. The beach stretches from just below Culzean Castle to Croy Shore. Long sandy beach with good views of the Castle. You can also park at Goats Green (ask us for directions, there are no signs) and walk into the grounds at Culzean without having to pay admission.

Just south of Dalmellington. You can follow the road on the western side of Loch Doon for several miles. During the summer, the 'Roundhouse' cafe is open most days for refreshment and snacks. If you have a boat (kayak or inflatable), you can launch it from several places.
