we are regular visitors to b h b and take our tourer.
our girls love it, it's a relaxing site but with lots to do if you want it.The club house is fab, "Scally" is fantastic! and does a great kids disco! nearby kircudbright is wonderful for a visit with smoked haddock suppers to die for. A clean friendly site you'll want to visit again and again.
iam scout leader base in worksop nottinghamshire. we have just sent a fantastic week on your site with 34 scouts as part of our centenery celebrations. We cannot praise the site for
all their co-operation whilst we've been there from Management to shop staff. The service we have recived whilst we were there was fantastic and the scouts have already asked if we could go back sometime.
Stayed in 2berth static caravan which was superb, plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 kids. Park itself is very clean and lots to do. Beach near the site is lovely and clean. There is a clubhouse on site which supplies food and drinks and entertainment which is great, especially the food! The only complaint I have is the cleanliness of the tables in the restaurant they needed a good wipe as they were very sticky. The pool at the clubhouse again is filthy as were the changing rooms. They have a cheek to charge £5 for my husband and wee boy to swim in the filthy pool and charge 20p for a locker non returnable in the filthy changing room! There is a games room for the teenagers but the bowling was out of order and we were told its been like that for some time. I just feel the whole place needs a good clean! If this was rectified it would be a fab place to go.
: July in 2011What a disappointment. The site is in great need of a makeover. Toilet blocks were filthy even after being cleaned. Toilets and floor looked like they had never been cleaned in months with grime galore. Showers were a health hazard. We have been here many times before and could not believe how run down it has become. Went to club house for meal on arrival and this was very poor - have had a lot better.
Will not be back.
visited in august, lovely clean site,play area was great for our 2 kids,club entertainment was good lots of options for day time activities,horse riding,pitch and putt,quad bikes,to many things to mention.look foward to another holiday there.showers and toilets seemed as if they had just been cleaned.

A superb site. I last visited 24 years ago with my parents. A return visit with my own young family in July 08 was a delightful experience. A very well maintained park in every respect with lots to do for the little ones. Great pool/club at top of site which is out of the way so as not to interrupt the peacefulness of the touring park. Very relaxing and picturesque. I will be back. My fussy wife says it has a fantastic golf course!
Great park with something for everyone.Visited on May Day holiday weekend and were impressed with the superb location:beach, views, woodland walks, together with lots of on site activities.
Facilities excellent - lots to do on site, and a nice big swimming pool. Bar/restaurant reasonable with entertainment. Showers/toilets etc good and clean. Kids play areas featured some inventive touches, and had a good open space for ball games.
It was evident that the owners were continually striving for excellence - they deserve their David Bellamy stars. For us well worth the journey!

My family and I have just returned from a week at Brighouse Bay and thoroughly enjoyed it. We found it had plenty of facilities to keep the children happy and was well kept, clean and had very friendly staff. I would recommend it to anyone.

From top-notch facilities to friendly staff, Brighouse Bay Holiday Park has something for everyone. Once pitched, you really don’t need to leave this site if you don’t want to and this is one of the reasons it is the regional winner for the second year running. With so many facilities on site you will find it difficult to take time to enjoy the remainder of the surrounding countryside. But it’s worthwhile venturing out at some point as this site is near the town of Kirkcudbright with its working harbour, ruined castle, charming town and artistic heritage.
Brighouse makes the perfect base thanks to its large touring area, which is divided into intimate groups of pitches separated by mature hedges and dry stone walls. For an extra special stay, book one of the few pitches right next to one of the fishing lakes or one of the many pitches located just a short walk from the site’s own slipway to the bay’s waters.
There is an extensive range of on-site sporting and leisure activities, all of which are well laid out and blend in beautifully with the surrounding countryside. Brighouse is a golfer’s paradise, complete with it’s own 18-hole golf course offering spectacular sea views. If golf is not your thing then take your pick from pony trekking, mountain biking or quad biking. Those seeking less energetic activities can walk the trails through the neighbouring woodlands, or try a spot of coarse fishing.
The site has a mini-market,
a large indoor swimming pool,
a family lounge and a bistro serving an excellent variety of food. These superb facilities and the fine location combine to make Brighouse a worthy regional winner for Scotland.

It would be quite possible to come to Brighouse Bay Holiday Park and never leave the site; there is so much to do here, and all of it is set amid stunning Scottish landscape.
The large touring area is divided into intimate groups of pitches by mature hedges and dry stone walls, with a few pitches right next to one of the fishing lakes. Each area has its own character and points of interest, and many pitches are just a short walk from the site’s own slipway to the bay’s waters.
An extensive range of
on-site sporting and leisure activities are well laid out
and blend unobtrusively with the surrounding countryside. Chief among these is an impressive 18-hole golf course, with its spectacular sea view; pony trekking is another favourite, along with mountain bike hire and quad bikes.
The large ‘leisure club’ boasts an indoor swimming pool,
a family lounge and a bistro serving good food (don’t miss the delicious Whitby scampi).
Those seeking less energetic activities can walk the trails that criss-cross the neighbouring woodlands, or try coarse fishing. A mini-market ensures that you won’t need to leave the park just to stock up on provisions. For those who want to explore the surrounding area, the fishing town of Kirkcudbright is only a few miles away. Brighouse Bay Holiday Park is a superb site, with something for everyone.

Brighouse Bay is the perfect park for active families. There is a choice of grass or hardstanding pitches, all of which have hook-up, and many of which have TV points. Leisure activities are centred around the ‘country club’, which overlooks the 18-hole golf course. The club boasts an indoor swimming pool, a bistro, a family room, a bar and a function suite. Pony trekking, mountain bike hire and quad bikes are among the activities on offer here, as well as walking the woodland trails or coarse fishing.

This campsite is perfect for active families with its wide range of on-site sporting and leisure pursuits. The site lies on a beautiful peninsula offering broad views over the Irish Sea, and is surrounded by 1200 acres of countryside which are perfect for walking.
Touring pitches are enclosed by hedges, trees and stone walls. There is a choice of grass or hardstanding pitches, all with hook-up. Because the site has limited TV reception due to its location, it has installed its own signal booster system, available on many of the campsite's pitches. Some pitches are fully serviced.
The two toilet facilities are spotless: one has family bathrooms, and separate ladies and gents toilets and showers, while the other block has unisex facilities. There will be two motorhome service points in 2006.
The site has excellent environmental credentials, with its indoor swimming pool's water supply heated by solar energy. The site has won awards in the Green Tourism business scheme and has a David Bellamy Gold Award.
Leisure activities are centred around the 'country club' that overlooks the 18-hole, championship length golf course and the open sea beyond. The club boasts an indoor swimming pool, bistro, family room and tastefully designed bar and function suite.
Pony trekking, mountain bike hire and quad bikes are just a few of the activities on offer.
A mini-market ensures there is little need to leave the park.
