A wonderful CL site with fantastic people running it!

We had a truly wonderful friendly greeting from Rob when we first arrived. Even though he was busy on the farm he took time out for us, as did Emma and nothing was too much trouble for them. There was plenty of space between the caravans, the dog had a brilliant time too with plenty of space to around in one of the fields and on the huge sandy beach, which was empty apart from us and the seagulls. We bought fresh eggs from them.The fishing there really made my grandson’s days and the trout tasted fantastic! 😋😋 We had a wonderful 10 days there & will DEFINITELY be back again next year but for longer.The food and warm welcome was repeated at the CoachHouse pub in Dornoch…also well worth a visit and was dog friendly. 🐶 It was a 689 mile journey for us. Was it worth it? Most definitely it was! 🥰

Stayed 2 nights mid-May on way north. Very pleasant site - agree with whatt has been said in the previous reviews. We walked into Dornoch - very interesting town - and drove to Tain and on to Portmahomack - lovely attrcative and peaceful walk along edge of Firth.

Peaceful with lovely views

Davochfin Farm CL, Dornoch IV25 3RW This review is based on my visit in early September 2020, I’m a single guy travelling with My cat(who stays in the caravan or a lead on the pitch being an Indoor cat), in a Adria Dart (8.3M single axle) caravan towed using a Hyundai Santa Fe. I stayed for 9 nights and could have stayed for many more, the entrance and main track thought site (up to water/CDP) are hardcore/ tarmac but the pitches themselves are grass, that being said it was a well drained and had no issues, even after prolonged rain it was only a little soft. The site has views of the sea (Dornoch Firth) from some pitches, the rest have views over countryside/ woods. The site is very quiet and peaceful the owner visits daily. The site is reasonably level. The site is easy to reach from the main road (A9) but follow the directions given in the book/ website though Dornoch, not direct from A9,as approaching the campsite lane from the other directions means that the turn in is difficult or impossible towing or with Motorhome. I chose to explore both locally and more widely but could have kept myself local if I had decided to. I found it an ideal location being close to the main A9. You can walk into Dornoch from the site it’s about 20 mins and a mile on a single track road. You can walk to the sea from the site in about 15 mins other than crossing a road it’s all off road. Dornoch had a Chinese take away which I found to be good. It does have a fish and chips/ Indian/ Pub but as I didn't use any of these I can't comment on them. There is a small grocery store there as well,Tain that is about 5 to 6 miles by car has Asda, Lidi and I think Tesco. Would definitely visit again if in the area, the £10 including EHU was amazing value but the owner did say next year he was intending to charge £15 with EHU and £10 without which I still think is good value.

Great CL on the NE Coast

Lovely CL just over a mile from Dornoch. Simple well drained grass site, very peaceful. Entertainment provided by the neighbouring cows and sheep. Easy access from the A9. Nice walk straight down past the driving range to the beach.

Close to the village of Dornoch which is historic and attractive. £10 a night including electric hookup Oct 2020.

Quiet & Peaceful

Spent a fortnight there recently. Quiet, peaceful site with lots to do in the surrounding area. Superb for dogs with the beach a few minutes away in one direction & several forest walks a few minutes away in an other. Overall given it 4 stars as the site, itself, is (IMO) in need a little TLC but nothing too drastic though.

Great no frills farm CL, well worth a visit

We originally booked for three nights but extended for another two because we enjoyed the CL and area so much. It is a no frills kind of farm CL, but it's just in a great location and there is loads of space between pitches. The owner Mr McGillvary is a nice fellow and he was welcoming and keen to make sure we knew where everything was and that we were settled in. There is a LOAD of stuff to do in Dornoch itself and in the surrounding area. There are great walks adjacent to the CL. You could easily spend a week or two here and thoroughly enjoy it. We will be back for sure.

Geat week at Davochfin Farm.

We've just had a great week at Davochfin Farm. We met Mr MacGillivray by chance on arrival an were very pleasantly surprised at the site. Plenty of room between caravans, great walk for the dogs and Dornoch 5 minutes down the road, Tain not much further for shopping. Cannot stress enough how quiet and peaceful this site is. We shall be back.
