Easy access to lock
Choraidh Croft
This site had beautiful views over the lock from the site. The lock was in easy access to the site via a short walk through a wood. Ideal for pets, our labrador loved it here. Walks along the lock for as long as you like. Otters have been spotted here.
The on site tearoom is lovely, we got take away home made cake which was delicious.

Stunning views
Choraidh Croft
This is a great site right next to the NC500. The views are stunning and the walk down to the loch shore is a must. Charles and his daughter Sam who runs the on site tea room are both friendly and helpful and there is a lovely range of crafts for sale too. Plenty to see and do in the surrounding area we stayed for 3 nights.
A great site

Access - Very easy to find off the main road, but the gate was awkward and hard for my wife to open/close, but the welcome from the owner was lovley and helpful.
Site - level hard standing pitches with room for awning, warned not to drive on the grass as a previous visitor had got themselves stuck, but was able to turn and reverse down onto our pitch OK. Water is at gate at top of site, poorly positioned, as gate can't be opened if there's someone using the tap, but not generally an issue. CDP and grey waste are up drive just beyond gate, OK but grey waste means lifting a heavy cast iron cover and we say MH have to turn their unit round twice to fill with water (on right exiting) then drain waste (on left) CDP is OK. The toulets were kept very clean during our stay, as they were used for the adjacent Cafe and had a small hot water heater for handwashing. The site's best feature are the views across Loch Eriboll, which are stunning and the site is super peaceful. There is also a lovely walk through woods onto the Loch shore.
Area - beaches at melness and surrounding area are lovely, it's also a nice area for walking and Smoo caves are worth a visit. We kayaked on the Loch which was fantastic with a close otter encounter!
This Cl is lovley, it could do with a few minor tweaks to make visitors stays easier, but we would certainly go back.
Fabulous location!

This site is heavenly! You would be daft to bypass it. The welcome by Charles and Sam has been warm, welcoming and helpful. The views are to die for!
There are 5 hardstanding pitches, grey waste and chemical waste disposal in a newly built area. For motorhomes, fresh water on the way in by the gate post. There are no showers and better to use your onboard toilet if you have one. The toilets are shared by the cafe, no accounting for passing visitors! We would return.
