From the manager: Welcome to the 1% club Claire! We're sorry you didn't enjoy your stay at Planet Balthangie, however, we understand our style is not for everyone. The 'tired old toilets' are sometimes misunderstood by the odd visitor- We create the 1950's feel here, albeit with a few mod cons such as the power showers, wet rooms and hairdryers supplied. Facilities include our fully serviced pitches, farm walks, secure dog exercise area, our famous 1st World War Pavilion, with TV lounge, library area, pool, table tennis, table football, and our kitchen- kitted out with microwave, kettles, toaster and washing machine & tumble dryer- all inclusive for only £28 a night.(ex laundry costs of course, but without those annoying 'extra' charges for awnings, dogs and/or children etc). All that said, we will continue to strive to provide the best service and welcome to all our guests both now and in the future! Although we'll never see you again here, we wish you both safe travels and enjoyable stays elsewhere in the future. :) J&A

Liked: Everything, arrival times being super flexible and lots of instructions to help with everything. Added extras of campers kitchen. Offer of laundry being done by owner as water supply was switched off outside due to cold weather. Sale of eggs. Helpfulness of owner with immediate response.

Disliked: No hard standing for motorhomes and as it was damp underfoot it made for a bit of an extra effort to leave the pitch.

From the manager: Thank you, Robert, great to see you again, and thank you for the top review! Much appreciated. All the best, J&A

Liked: The chilled out environment, access to the little kitchen and washers/dryers. Pitch was fairly flat and the grass was well kept throughout. Host was very friendly.

Disliked: The hot water tank was very small for the showers, I had to have two cold showers post busy days adventuring.

From the manager: Thank you Robert for your great review- sorry you had to experience a cold shower! There is the electric shower room, where hot water is constant, although it's rare the main showers run out of hot water since we expanded the water capacity this year. Hopefully, there wasn't a problem at the time- we'll check that, of course, to make sure all is working efficiently- we don't want to be in hot water ourselves..... :) Safe travels in the meantime! J&A

Liked: Lovely maintained site, welcoming hosts who are on hand for all needs there is a borrow room if you had forgotten anything. Small kitchen with several kettles toaster etc and a games room which we used one of the nights. Pitches good size as well

From the manager: Thank you Karen for a lovely review- we're so glad you enjoyed your stay here and look forward to welcoming you in the future! Safe travels in the meantime... J&A

Liked: We have camped in many places and this is one of our favourite places by far. We absolutely loved the space & peacefulness of this campsite. The owners are lovely, helpful people and you can really see the effort they put into the site. The campsite has everything you need for a comfortable stay- the old school style of the amenities block is wonderful and the dog field is such a great addition! It is also a really good base for exploring Aberdeenshire's beautiful coastline. We had a great time and will definitely be back in the future!

Disliked: Nothing! (We did have people encroach on our pitch despite there being plenty of space for them to choose from but this is no fault of the owners and we just got on with our weekend)

From the manager: Thank you Pamela for a lovely review! We will look forward to seeing you on your next visit, and wish you safe travels in the meantime! J&A

Liked: Absolutely everything. The setting is beautiful and well maintained, there’s a beautiful walk around the fiend at the bottom of the site. They have an enclosed dog walking field. The showers and toilets are clean and quirky. They have a “pavalion” which is a large indoor area with seats, pool table and various other bits and bobs to do if the weather is rubbish… But mainly what makes this place stand out is the hosts. They are very present, John is brilliant and we were shown to our pitch, he gave us all the info we needed and was wound daily checking if everything was fine! You can just tell they go above and beyond to make your stay the best possible.

Disliked: Nothing.
