Non-electric grass tent pitch (medium)

Liked: Loved the site very calm and individual shower and toilet blocks were perfect. Lovely hot shower and immaculate. Short walk to Findhorn which was very pretty. Great shop selling organic food and whole eco housing estate on site too

Disliked: Quite near a road — not too bad during the day but aware of it in evening and early morning.

Gary M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Location was amazing, only a 30 minute walk to the main beach or 10 minute walk to the bay where you can see all sorts of wildlife. Especially in the evenings when the seals climb onto a bit of land so with a good zoom can see and hear them. Plenty of space between pitches, plenty of showers with good quality facilities. Staff were friendly. If you have chance to eat at the Captains Table I would highly recommend as the meal was lovely and great value for money.

Disliked: Not really a dislike however the onsite restaraunt sells only Vegan options.
