So peaceful

McMichael, Elizabeth - 08/01/2026

Beautiful location and scenery. The toilets were nice and clean. The only thing we felt was the motorhome spaces aren't very wide. We were stepping out to mucky grass which isn't ideal. The spaces could do with being wider. The bar was typical of a site but do they really need 6 large tvs all to be showing sport? 1 or 2 could have had a music channel or something. The fri night bar was busy and didn't see anyone actually watching a TV. My husband asked if they could put some music on even background the bar staff said there was none. Not everyone likes sport. I am aware there's another area but was closed when we visited. Some music would have gave bar bit of an atmosphere

Consistently wonderful

Hanlon, Kerry - 18/11/2025

We have stayed at courtyard 4 for the past 8yrs. We love the location it’s nice and quiet but you can cross the road to the caravan park to use all the amenities there if you want. It’s always very clean It was renovated a few years ago and I’m impressed that the carpets always look like new. The staff are really friendly and helpful. It’s a good location for going on day trips to see the sights, if you’re there is the summer, check out Mossyard beach it’s beautiful. We generally stay here in November, because it’s a dark sky area the night sky is amazing if you get a clear night. We love lying in the hot tub stargazing and looking for shooting stars. Unfortunately this year it was overcast and wet, but we still had a great break away

Thank you so much for your lovely and detailed review and for choosing to stay at Courtyard 4 for the past 8 years — we truly appreciate your continued loyalty. We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoy the peaceful location, cleanliness, and the renovations, and it’s great to know the carpets and facilities continue to impress.Your kind words about our friendly and helpful staff mean a lot to us, and we’re pleased that the location works so well for both relaxing and exploring the local sights. Mossyard Beach is a fantastic recommendation, and we’re glad you enjoy the dark sky area — stargazing from the hot tub really is something special, even if the weather doesn’t always cooperate!We’re so pleased you still had a great break despite the overcast conditions, and we look forward to welcoming you back again in November (or sooner!) for hopefully clearer skies and more shooting stars. ?

Really cozy holiday home!

McCulloch, Robyn - 14/11/2025

Our overall stay at auchenlarie was fab! Really nice scenery from the campsite onto the beach, and great entertainment, especially for kids. Although the one thing that I did have trouble with on our stay was the heating and hot water within the caravan its self. I had to call up reception a couple of times in regards of having no hot water and heating in the mornings, which is not really handy considering it is colder. Apart from this the holiday was great, nice decor in the place and we had a really nice time!! Thank you :)
