Liked: Lovely little site with picnic tables flowers and solar lights. Small toilet shower block which was very clean and well looked after. The owner was very welcoming and helpful, and the views across the countyside to the coast and sea are stunning. Ideally situated for visiting John O'Groats and the surronding area.

Liked: Very private only us and one other van onsite, site owner very friendly. Shower and toilet facilities clean and nicely presented. Lovely views.
Disliked: For the price paid the site is very basic. It has what you need; EHU, water and waste disposal, one toilet and shower. You're very exposed to the elements and there’s nothing else on site except the toilet/ shower facility. There was only one other van onsite with us and we had to wait to use the toilet facilities so I imagine this would become more difficult with more vans pitched up.
