Syntes om Thought seems to have been given to how to lay out the site and make things as easy for new arrivals as possible (other than the point below). Good pitch sizes. The shower facilities were great. lovely and warm shower area, hot water and a stool (which i thought very considerate). Good location to walk to nearby places or drive to places further away. Easy to find everything you need with good signage. The negatives below do not outweigh the positives and i would recommend the site And Use it again.

Syntes ikke om Not a massive thing but i did struggle to find my actual pitch. A map was sent via email but cant open these things on my phone. I think a map at the entrance would be easier. Being a one way system makes it more difficult if you miss it and need to go round again. Didn't find the numbering that easy to see, even when someone showed me where it was. There was also a large poll right in front of my pitch making it a little more difficult than for other pitches to park up.

Syntes om Everything. Gorgeous location. Everything thoughtfully provided. Own little private garden to watch the sunset. The couple seemed very welcoming and I felt would be happy to offer more or less advice etc based on guest needs. It was just perfect for me.

Syntes om Everything. Especially the lady running the site. Couldn't have been friendlier. Lots of space and consideration of site planning with gaps in between occupied sites. Feel like in the middle of nowhere But only a short drive from shops, pubs, restaurants and other places to visit. Quiet and beautiful Beaches, castles, lighthouses etc. Etc. Budget friendly stay so facilities basic obviously But well kept and clean.

Syntes ikke om Just a suggestion rather than criticism, but the fence gate ( which appears to lead towards the sea area) could do with the sign letting people know the alternative route on

Syntes om Location and cliff/beach. Clean throughout. Staff friendly and welcoming. Offers longer term siting for those this might be of interest to. Chip shop and cafe van, both used and both good quality and value for money, however limited opening times. Cafe only sat and Sunday mornings and chip shop section only around 4 times slots a week so some days no food available to buy on site.

Syntes ikke om Unreliable bus network (clearly nothing the site has any control over but is a factor if people are hoping to head out to Lowestoft etc) Lacking in quanity of bathroom facilities. Luckily I did ask for and was given a site close to one of these but is something to bear in mind when booking. The facilities are good but only only 2 blocks for around 3 fields. One was closed for some reason on my second day do then only one block for everyone. Might be an idea to add a few portable loos in other locations around the site? I didn't explore the area outside of the site much (as 3 x buses didn't turn up and Uber had no drivers available) so unsure whether shops or places to eat nearby. Didn't spot any.

Syntes om Beautiful setting and views, well laid out with lots of space.

Syntes ikke om Showers were very hot (better than cold) but couldn't see anyway to turn down and I love heat but had to dip in and out. Not super easy to spot from main road.

Fra bestyreren: Hi Karen, We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a 10/10 review. It means a lot to us. Many Thanks, The Linwater Team

Syntes om The location (yes it's a car park, but on the banks of the Loch ) perfect for a boat trip which I had and really enjoyed. Nice little shop and cafe. The watch tower shouldn't be missed. Staff knock off at 5 so best to be there before if u want any advice etc. I was worried after reading negative comments but for the money I think it's a great little spot. All staff I spoke to were lovely and helpful. Being out of main season it was quiet so may explain different experience. No staff on site after 5 so if was an issue maybe it would be different. Cost of showers should be highlighted on booking sites though.

Syntes ikke om The fact that showers cost £5 is very expensive and not made clear on pitch up site. This should be highlighted. I didn't use them. Others have complained about the cost of EHU But I also didn't use that so can't comment. Phone signal poor due to location but can hardly blame the site for that.

Fra bestyreren: Hi Karen, Wow, what a fantastic review! Your praise is very much appreciated and we hope to have the opportunity to meet you again soon. Many Thanks, The Linwater Team

Syntes om Small, friendly VERY clean everywhere. Tony and staff lovely. Facilities spotless. Level pitches, well laid out on thought through. Good location, walking distance from the main ingoldmells but yet fields around and very quiet so u wouldn't know it. Small site so noone is far from the facilities. We added another night as very comfortable there. Highly recommend.

Syntes ikke om Only a couple of things and MINOR. When facilities being cleaned they are all closed 🚫 so no where to go. Showers set to switch off after about 20-30 seconds so have to hold it on with one hand while washing hair etc with other. Bit awkward.
