Ayrshire's Craig Tara caravan park to get staycation boost with new pop-up bar

Craig Tara holiday park has been granted planning permission for a new pop-up bar.

A converted shipping container will be transformed into the drinks venue for visitors at the popular tourist destination outside Ayr.

Located within the caravan park itself, the facility will have a bar serving area, cellar and washing up space.

Planning officials at South Ayrshire Council approved the application at the coastal getaway.

The temporary pub will be six metres long and 4.8 metres wide while the container will be cream-coloured with artwork and stencil spray lettering.

There were no objections from the public to the proposal.

A council report said: “There are no policy objections to the application, and it is considered that the proposal results in the enhancement of an existing tourist facility without detriment to the character and visual amenity of the scenic area or the coast.”

It added: “Given the proposed development is sited within the established holiday park it will not have a negative impact on the character of the locality.

"The proposed external finishing materials are acceptable for the locality given the modern context of the surrounding built environment.”

The Dunure Road holiday spot is run by Haven.
