Liked: The whole vibe of the site. Relaxed and friendly. Owners and other visitors were all really friendly and just enjoying their time away. Real mix of families, children and older groups, couples.
Owners were helpful. Site facilities were immaculate and to a very high standard.
Loved our we animal visitors in the camp field (donkeys, mini goats, chickens, lambs and some horses at the fence).
We also really liked the "chuck van" was good to grab some food on the Saturday night save me cooking :) and also for second breakfast on the Sunday.
Disliked: There was nothing we disliked about this site. Friendly, well run and great facilities. Oh and Scottish weather was even nice to us :)

Liked: Arriving on site I got first pick of plots. Traveling as a single parent with child I was anxious but that quickly eased. The views are beautiful. Animals roaming the field where you are pitched was jive for the kids although I did see a few kids who where not very nice to them…shame on those parents not keeping a close eye on there kids. My son did love a little clap of the donkeys. Toilet facilities are decent, shower cubicles seperated from toilet area and was never an issue getting a free shower. Staff were very kind. On arrival we were offered some fresh goods (milk, eggs, orange juice and apple juice) I did take an apple juice and it was very fresh and tasty. Over the weekend there was a can that made fresh foods which neighbouring campers mentioned it was very good. Forgetting bread I did go buy rolls which where tasty for a bbq sausage. TIPS - do take cash as food truck is cash only and if you need to wash hair do take a hairdryer.
Disliked: I couldn’t dislike anything. Family who run this farm have done an amazing job.

Liked: Cleanliness of the site. Kids loved the animals. Toilets spotless, washroom house tidy. Showers were good. Back bar was a plus but only opened at weekend when we were there. Level pitches and no major issues.
Disliked: No WiFi code, signposts on arrival could have been better. Not much of a check in process.

From the manager: Thank you for the review and so pleased that you enjoyed yourselves!
We have put up new sign for reception which is at the main farmhouse but will look into seeing if more could help.
There is limited Wifi and we are looking at adding a pay as you use system as so many people request it and our small site can't cope!!
I hope we can welcome you again in the future.
