What customers say

A friendly working farm with lovely hosts, offering peaceful stays with beautiful views. Guests enjoyed animal interactions (Highland cows, lambs) and farm tours. Pitches are clean. No on-site toilets, but prices are fair. Perfect for a rural, farm-life experience.

Liked Loved the location and the fact that it’s a working farm! 20-30 head of cattle, 700+ sheep, a few horses and even a couple
Of sows. Facilities were nice and there are no crowds! Garden was lovely. People were wonderful. We took a buggy tour of the cow pasture and got to hang out with highland cattle.

Learned a lot about the farm, the plight of the farmer, and even got a primer on economics! I wouldn’t change a thing.

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Loved the views, the animals, the serenity and the peacefulness.

Disliked We didn’t dislike anything. Just be aware no facilities and it’s a working farm so expect some noise. It didn’t bother us and was actually my favourite site so far!

Excellent place to stay.

John B.

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Everything! The owners are so friendly and helpful, the animals are friendly, the location is great, so quiet and peaceful. We got the best nights sleep so far on the nc500. Fantastic value, can't recommend it enough.
We also booked and did the quad farm tour, where we met, fed and petted some of the animals, including highland cows - this was great, and very informative.
I even saw a sea eagle, only about 20 meters from our pitch, great so see it uo close, not so good for the farm though as they can take lambs and small sheep.

Disliked Nothing.

Local attractions

In among all the antics on site, it’s worth finding time to explore the local area – as so often with the Highlands, it’s rather gorgeous. For starters, there’s a splendid sandy beach a mile and a half away at Melvich, and you can take a walk out to the cliffs at Puffin Cove to see the birds from may to early August. For a tipple or two to go with your evening meal, swing by the Wolfburn Distillery (25 minutes’ drive) for your whisky or Rock Rose (40 minutes) for a bottle of local gin. The seafood’s pretty good around here too – stop by at Scrabster or Thurso (both 25 minutes) to see boats coming in and see what you can find to eat. Alternatively, grab your golf clubs for a day on the course at Reay (10 minutes), stroll around 16th-century Castle of Mey (45 minutes) or take a day tour to Orkney from Thurso. If you’ve not yet snapped a pic of yourself by the John o’Groats sign, that’s slightly less than an hour away.
