Why stay here ...
Sunnybrae is a recently re-opened half acre site situated just outside the pretty village of Findochty, commanding spectacular panoramic views over the Moray Firth and beyond (on a good day!) The site itself has 5 pitches (4 of which are hardstanding) all with new 16amp electric hookups. Drinking water tap and chemical waste disposal with rinsing tap are also provided for visitors. The site itself has a very gentle slope but the pitches are all reasonably flat.
Findochty is a small picturesque village with a scenic harbour mainly used for pleasure craft. It has a well stocked general store (0.5 mile) and a pub "The Admirals" (0.75 mile)which also provides takeaway meals as well as highly recommended lunchtime and evening meals.
The Moray coast has much to offer for a wide range of interests. Wildlife is particularly abundant with pine martens, kestrels, pheasants, roe deer and many other interesting animals and birds having been spotted from the CL site. Bottlenose dolphins are a major attraction on the Moray Firth and dolphin spotting expeditions on the "Gemini Explorer" can be taken from nearby Buckie (2 miles). For those a little less adventurous a good pair of binoculars is all that's required to catch sight of them from the comfort of your caravan. Other attractions include Strathlene Golf Club (1.25 miles), Findochty Beach (1 mile), stunning coastal walks and drives are popular in all weathers.
Many distilleries are based in the surrounding area and the world famous "Malt Whisky Trail" is always worth exploring. The Highland Games (Fochabers 9 miles) in late Spring is also a great experience and for those with an interest in the past,the area has plenty of historic castles and grand houses to seek out. For the younger visitor there is a range of activities to entertain. Go kart racing, ten pin bowling and pony trekking to name but a few.
Stargazing on a clear night is a sight to behold and The Northern Lights can sometimes make a rare incredible display.
Visitors to Sunnybrae will be guaranteed a warm welcome on arrival and we will endeavour to be of assistance throughout your stay if and when required.
Mike and Brenda look forward to seeing you.

Tight site.
Sunnybrae
Best described as a ‘garden site’, very small and tightly packed, vans very close to each other.
Friendly and relaxing
Sunnybrae
Visited this site several times, friendly welcome from Mike as usual. Very relaxing, good beaches nearby and good shops in Buckie. Mike's closing CL over this winter but we hope he decides to reopen next year.

Amazing site
Sunnybrae
We stayed for 10 nights at the end of July/beginning of August and will definitely be going back, if Mike continues.
It's a small site but so long as you have facilities in your van for toilet and showering the site provides everything else you need.
We were met by Mike on our arrival, what a lovely man, very friendly and helpful. Allowed us to site our van to enjoy the views across the Moray, and wow what views they are. The site itself is very peaceful with little to no noise from any roads. The only noise was from the building of the house just across the lane, but even that wasn't too intrusive.
Due to sad circumstances the site wasn't very busy throughout our stay, which made it even more peaceful for us.
Mike even took the time to come and say goodbye when hitching up and leaving.
One bit of advice when arriving don't come up through the village as the turn into the site may be a little sharp, however coming off of the A98 and down the lane you have straight access in.
Picturesque views.
Sunnybrae
Myself and Susan spent 12 day's at Sunnybrae. We didn't want to leave. It's been the best long trip to date. We had glorious weather and the views are stunning.
We managed to see Bottle Nose Dolphins on the final 2 nights which was another bonus. We hope to return if Mike decides to stay open (sorry for your loss buddy) you are a gentleman and thank you for honouring our booking.

Fabulous little site with helpful and friendly owners. Couldn’t ask for more.
Sunnybrae
I visited Sunnybrae in my little Campervan (with my dog) at the tail end of 2022. It was a perfectly positioned site for my needs with beautiful views and it was so calm and tranquil. The site is within walking distance of the local town and not far from the beautiful beach of Cullen and stunning cliffs and rock formations in and around Portknockie. As well as local stores there is a large supermarket nearby in Buckie where you can stock up on supplies and fuel.
The owners couldn’t have been more kind and helpful, especially when I accidentally locked my keys (and dog!!) in my van. They took me in and looked after me so well whilst I was waiting for the AA to arrive. I can’t thank them enough for that.
The single track road (with passing points) which leads to the site was very quiet so there was very little disturbance from passing vehicles. The site was very clean and tidy with a useful shed for site and tourist information. Sunnybrae is definitely on my list of sites to revisit when I next venture to Scotland. It gets five stars from me.
