What visitors say
I can't sing praises loud enough for this site. The owners, Anna and John are lovely. Nothing is too much trouble. The shower block is clean. To me it has a rustic quaintness, Anna has added a few thoughtful touches, such as a vanity table, mirrors and hairdryer. The campers kitchen next door is really well equipped. Microwave, kettle, extra cutlery and crockery that can be borrowed. Washing machine and tumble dryer can be used for a small fee. A table and chairs to sit at if eating in a tent isn't practical. The site is rural, with lovely walks. It has EHU, black waste disposal, a large, secure dog exercise area and a WW1 pavilion - over 100 years old and still amazing. Inside there are indoor games such as a pool table and table tennis. There's a TV and comfy suite where you can chill, have a cuppa and enjoy some telly or reading time. Maps and posters adorn the walls, telling of the local area. There is also a 'borrow room' with spare pegs, windbreak, bbq stands and much more, Anna and John have really thought about what visitors might have forgotten. The site has stunning countryside views. I honestly love staying there and can't wait to go back.

A beautiful site to spend a quiet time at. Lovely welcome when we arrived, and was shown to a huge pitch for our caravan. Water available piped to the caravan which is an excellent, electric hook up is 16 amp. Just a beautiful site in close proximity to castles etc to explore and close to Turriff and Fraserburgh so out in the sticks but close enough to civilisation. Can thoroughly recommend this gem in the countryside

Lovely little campsite surrounded by beautiful scenery. The owner is super friendly and welcoming. The grounds are well maintained, hot showers and clean facilities. They even have a games room on site.

This place has operated for a long time. We really enjoyed our stay. Facilities are old but immaculately kept. We really felt like it was a trip back to a much needed simpler time. Very quiet site with great views, driveway in could do with work had to crawl along towing the caravan.
