FANTASTIC!!!! Highlight of my trip this weekend to Scotland! Loved getting up close with the deer and they were so curious! Take apples and carrots to feed them Can easily accessible for those in wheelchairs/mobility issues. We dropped my mum off at the door of the hide and there were some chairs in there for her to sit and feed the deer through the windows. Free car parking for day use

Never seen deer so close before, they are magical creatures, will literally take carrots and apples out of your hand. Only 2 viewing windows in the hide but you may have to wait in there, or just go the fence several holes which you can feed the deer through, what an experience, very tame and love having their photos taken, well worth a visit, don't forget your carrots and apples though, nothing else to be fed to them abd use the habd sanitizer provided, then wash hands before eating

Stopped here to see the deer - 🦌 - they like apples and carrots. It’s a Dark Skies stopover if you have a self contained motorhome. £10 via PayPal. We had a quiet night but no stars to see as cloudy 🤦♀️
