Liked Location was fabulous for touring the east coast. Going over the Tay Bridge at sunset is a must. Nice to have a friendly pub on site.
Disliked Toilet block is sparse, locks didn’t work on toilet or showers, no hanging space for dry clothes, the rail is rusty and gets clothes sprayed. Washing up area outside had no hot water.
