Electric grass touring caravan pitch

Liked: Everything very friendly, pavilion was great with games pool and table tennis table football and more. Pitches are massive and the enclosed dog walking field was perfect for our dogs to be off lead and not worry about it. Family bathroom very helpful and lots of cooking items if you forgot something in the campers kitchen can fault it one bit out of the 6 campsite we stayed at through August this was the best.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Fantastic Joedy- glad you enjoyed your stay, and we met expectations! If you travel this way again we will look forward to seeing you and the family :) all the best J&A

A quiet little gem of a campsite. A good value budget site.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Overall great dog friendly, spacious ,rural, quiet and rustic chic and great value for money site! *The hosts were super friendly, helpful and welcoming! *The dog exercise field was huge and very well maintained. *The site itself was very well maintained and pitches were very spacious and level. Able to park next to your pitch with plenty of space. *There was animals onsite, including chickens and ducks and you could purchase fresh eggs. Even met the resident dogs and swallows! *Great location for a base, so easy to nip out for day trips. *Hot showers - no time out, good power. However, the facilities needs a wee spruce up, the owners have stated they were understably waiting for less traffic to do it. *We didn't use the pavilion, however spotted a young family going in to watch TV and play games which was nice.

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Liked that site was out of the way and peaceful. Beautifully maintained site including enclosed large dog walking field. Facilities are spotless and extremely adequate, large leisure room including games and tv/reading area. Hosts were freindly and attentive, to the point of removing a tick from our dogs ear. We will definately return.

Disliked: Disliked the fact that we only stayed for one night.

Local attractions

Entranced by the scenery on site? There's plenty of things to see and do without straying far from base, with top picks being seaside strolls in Banff (20 minutes' drive) and tours of (purportedly haunted) Delgatie Castle (10 minutes). Aden Country Park (20 minutes), meanwhile, is a great option for picnics, barbecues and manageable trails; you can also poke your nose into a gift shop that sells local crafts and the artfully laid out Aberdeenshire Farming Museum. Got a thing for blinking beacons? Make tracks for the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses in Fraserburgh (25 minutes), a historic lighthouse – the oldest on the Scottish mainland, no less – that was built right on top of a 16th-century castle. After having a look-see at the largest lens collection in the UK, other old buildings like Haddo House (25 minutes), Fyvie Castle (25 minutes) and Slains Castle (45 minutes) are up for inspection. At a loose end on a Sunday morn? A rummage through the weekly market and car boot sale at Thainstone (40 minutes) should see to that.
