About the owner

We are a small independent family run business, based in the biggest in Scotland (and arguably the best!) Haven family holiday park, Craig Tara on the beautiful Ayrshire coast. We are a family of 5 and we originally bought our caravan for our own use as our youngest son has ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) and we always struggled to find a holiday that suited every member of our family (going abroad was a nightmare!). We started our caravanning adventures in a tiny little 4 berth 1994 touring caravan and fell in love with the lifestyle...the rest as they say is history! Sadly, we cant always use the our caravan, so now we rent it out when we're not using it.. We enjoy letting our relaxing and comfortable holiday home and sharing our wonderful views of the sunset over the Isle of Arran with our guests which can be enjoyed of an evening while kicking back on our wraparound decking while the kids play at the park across the way - sheer bliss! Come see for yourself! You really don’t have to bring everything but the kitchen sink to our van - just yourselves! All we ask is that our guests treat the van as if it was their own and take good care of it ASWELL AS having a great holiday! Ross & Joanne

So that means no queues at reception when you arrive at Craig Tara - just head straight down to the caravan and begin your holiday!

PET FRIENDLY VAN

The caravan is situated in Islay Village overlooking the park with stunning views of the sea and of course the famous Heads of Ayr and you can even see over to Arran on a clear day! Islay Village is a Cul-de-Sac in a quieter area of the park and is situated only 3-5 minutes short walk along the flat ground making our van the ideal choice for those with mobility issues - please note there are 3 steps to climb up onto the decking of the van and the shared driveway is on a slight incline, however there is also space to park a second car in front of the caravan on the road itself.

Excellent caravan, extremely clean with lots of facilities. Beds were very comfortable and the shower was great. I would recommend staying here and would not hesitate to return. The owners provide excellent communication and clearly care about their customers. The location is ideal if you wish to be close to the main facilities, approximately 2 minutes walk from the swimming pool area. Location was also very quiet in the evening and I had a great nights sleep.

Fantastic to hear you had such a great stay with us Robert! Thanks for the kind words and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Thank you so much for our great stay in your caravan, we couldn’t have picked a wetter week in the summer with the weather and it definately helped us with the kids with having the dvd’s and Xbox in there, you provided everything we needed with milk, bread, butter and fruit, such a nice gesture oh and the coffee machine was a great added bonus! I spoke with Joanne over email before our stay and Ross durning and were both very helpful and lovely people to speak with, highly recommended, the caravan was in a prefect location and would love to return, thanks again, the kids didn’t want to leave! ????

Thank you Aimee for your glowing review of our caravan and hospitality! We really do try our best to provide a relaxing home from home experience for all our guests and we also know how difficult it is keeping the kids entertained on holiday so we’re happy to hear they had some fun despite the weather. Take care and we hope to welcome you back in the future again for another break! Kindest regards, Joanne & Ross

Just back from craig tara and were so happy we made the right decision booking this lovely clean & comfortable caravan. From time of booking to arriving at the caravan everything was so easy to do with no hassles. The caravan is beautiful inside and out we had everything we needed and more. We loved having a chilled out movie night watching Netflix, we also loved sitting out in the sun on the super comfy rattan furniture, my daughter loved having her own little room with the xbox to play. All the added extras were much appreciated. If your looking for a caravan holiday with a touch of luxury to it then this caravan is for you we can't wait to go back xx

Thank you for your kind words Nikki! We really have tried to ensure our guests have everything they need for that home from home experience…look forward to welcoming you back! xx

Stayed here for the weekend and was thoroughly impressed by this caravan. Not only did this van have all your home comforts including an xbox, kids games and Netflix for everyone to enjoy, but we also had the best nights sleep we have ever had in a caravan. It was kitted out with a emma memory foam mattress in the double room and that alone was worth every penny. Single beds were also comfortable to. Van is South facing but this one in particular gets the sun from first thing in the morning till the sun eventually sets making it an ideal place to sit with kids on the veranda on the comfortable rattan furniture provided. Another personal touch was all the little extras provided on arrival including milk, butter, bread. Coffee maker with pods and many other things. Van was less than 5 mins walk to the amenities which was perfect for the little ones and my mum with COPD. Cannot fault this van and owners were lovely and very accommodating. Will definitely be booking with them again. Big thank you to Joanne and Ross for making our holiday perfect. ????

Thank you for such kind words, it really means a lot to us to hear that you have enjoyed your stay in our van! We have tried our best to create a home from home environment which we feel is important for families especially with young children when making memories that will hopefully last a lifetime! We look forward to welcoming you back soon!!????
