Firstly, If you have a large motorhome or caravan such as a big twin axle be aware that the entrance to the drive is tight when turning off the road. Having read previous reviews before arriving I made sure our toilet was freshly made up and as we were only staying 1 night I decided not to empty it before we left as the chemical toilet waste disposal is exactly as described by previous reviews. I am surprised that the owners have not had to provide something a little more suitable. What has not been said is that the field in which it is located is sloping. The signage was also in need of replacing as it was all very badly faded and I could not find anywhere to empty the grey waste. On a positive note the views are great and the site is ideal when your doing the NC500 and the owners are very friendly. The fact that this is pretty much the only CL site in this area on the NC500 route means that you have to either take it or leave it as there is no other choice.

The chemical toilet disposal - a drum in the middle of a sheep filled field - has put us off and we wouldn't return. Even the sheep walked away when I lifted the lid. It's a shame as the area is really interesting and well worth a visit.

Good location but...

No meet and greet you just set up and they will come to you at some point. Friendly enough though and the location is great for the NC500. I would echo other comments that the toilet is very basic. The Chemical Waste point should however be avoided at all costs - a half buried bin in a field of sheep, frankly disgusting. I'm very surprised that the site was recommended in the Club Magazine article on the NC500, perhaps the club may like to visit the site and encourage the owners to make some improvements.
