Camping pod (family)
Liked: Check in and out were straightforward. The place was very quiet while we were there. Toilet, shower and kitchen facilities were very good, clean and accessible. The pod we stayed in was comfortable and everything worked as you would expect. There are some interesting walks in the immediate area. It's an excellent base for all the different things to see and do in the surrounding area too. We will be back, and with the kids next time as they will love it there.

Liked: Pitches were nice and quiet and split up by trees and bushes to give a sense of privacy. It would be a fabulous place for families with younger children to play close by in the woods. Little indoor kitchen was clean and useful to wash up if cold or raining. Didn't use the showers.
Disliked: Strange greeting by one of the owners when we struggled to find the place as the signage says Wigwams and not The Loft. I think he thought it was 'friendly banter' but it came over as argumentative. This sort of got things off on the wrong foot for me. Outdoor washing up area that we used didn't really have any hot water (a tiny bit and then it ran cold). Plus no cover so wouldn't be much fun in the rain.

Liked: Love the feel of camping in the trees and we had an aurora borealis but I don’t think that can be guaranteed. The toilet & shower block very clean and there is a kitchen area with a microwave and a freezer for ice blocks.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Really great site, super quiet (I did stay in Mid-March) so it was just the wildlife and farm animals in nearby fields for company. Great kitchen and shower block, the kitchen meant I didn't have to do any cooking in the van which I appreciated. Warm shower, everything was really clean. Check in super easy. Host was really helpful when needed. I would definitely stay again, within 10min drive of amazing Findhorn Bay.

Camping pod (family)
Liked: Peaceful place. Park for children is great especially the hidden one in the forest on the hill, beautiful walks on the farm, great play room ( barn) for rainy days. Cosy pod. Very well kept shared facilities. Great bathroom, clean shared areas, very nicely kept site. Easy to check in and out, very well signposted.
Disliked: Loved it as it is.

From the manager: Hi Katie, thank you for your lovely comments on your pitch and our site. I'm so sorry to hear the shower was cold during your stay. We were notified by another guest that morning that there was no hot water in the Nissen Shed block, unfortunately our whole hot water system failed and we needed to get a new boiler fitted which we did luckily manage to get done that day. We did try to get see everyone onsite to explain but you had already left. I'm so sorry this was your experience, we usually have plenty of hot water and do have showers available on another area of the site. I hope we can welcome you again.

Liked: The pitch was secluded with a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside and we arrived to find all the materials we ordered for a camp fire waiting at our pitch. The showers and toilets were clean and in good working order. The campsite was quiet and the few other campers we saw were very friendly. We had a lovely, peaceful, relaxing stay and would definitely come back.
