Clean facilities
Helpful lady when asking about rebooking for next year.
Lovely cafe on site.
Our pitch was spacious

N'a pas aimé Someone that was able to answer reception when we arrived. Rang bell 3 times and no answer. Had to call number on door to get the young guy to assist us.

A aimé Lovely little site right on the coast. Cafe on site. Clean facilities. Amazing views and less than 5 minutes to the beach. Really friendly staff.

N'a pas aimé Would have liked a brown waste option for the campervan but we do know this often isn’t an option on small sites. The road noise might put some people off but it didn’t bother us.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you very much for your lovely review, Julia. We’re delighted you enjoyed the peaceful coastal setting, views, clean facilities, tearoom and friendly welcome. We appreciate your helpful comments about campervan waste disposal and the road noise too. It’s great to hear neither spoiled your stay, and we hope to welcome you back to Balkenna.

A aimé Brilliant for a one night stay as we began our 8 day travels across Scotland.
Lady was very friendly and walked us round available pitches to choose the one we wanted.
Clean facilities and a very useful dog shower for our mud finding dog.
Lovely friendly cafe where we had a takeaway bacon cob and coffee
Will definitely stay again

We’re delighted you received such a friendly welcome, could choose a pitch that suited you, and enjoyed the clean facilities, dog shower and tearoom breakfast. We’d love to welcome you and your mud-finding dog back on another Scottish adventure!

A aimé This was my first ever trip in my van, I chose this place as I’d been past it a few times in my lorry and liked the look of it, so thought it perfect to “break myself in”

When I arrived, a delightful lady gave me a tour of the site and showed me to my pitch, she was extremely welcoming and seemed genuinely interested that this was my first trip.

After I set up I sat for a few hours outside the van with a few beers, it was perfect.

It’s quite exposed being so close to the shore, but, I knew this before I booked and loved the wind and rain against the side of the van while I was in bed.

The shower and toilet block is absolutely immaculate! They also have a sink area for washing your dishes etc.

I went into the tearoom the next morning for breakfast, again, this was outstanding.

I can’t wait to come back.

N'a pas aimé Absolutely nothing.
