Unpowered grass tent site (small)
Liked: Quiet sheltered, picturesque river side site, grass in ideal condition firm enough for the car and soft enough for tent pegs. Simple clean facilities. For us a great location for walking or cycling. Host Martyn welcoming and great little village shop right by the gated site entrance. I’ll be Back!!!
Disliked: Ubiquitous midges but that’s Scotland

Powered grass motorhome site
Liked: All grass and no hard standing. Site restricts number of places so it is very quiet and peaceful enhanced by the riverside on the south. Owners Deborah and Martin were very welcoming. Super geodesic tent fitted out wth lounge furniture and hot water flask, just perfect for socialising with other guests.
Disliked: One shower room needed a bit of maintenance.
