A very warm welcome

We visited this CL in January 2017 during a period of mild settled weather although it was clear that there had been a substantial amount of snow recently going by the road verges. We received a very warm welcome from Linda who introduced herself, explained the site facilities and gave us a very comprehensive welcome pack, including a motorhome guide leaflet for the area, something we had not seen in many years of motor homing. The CL itself is very well aid out, with fresh and waste water at each pitch as well as electric hook up. A previous visitor had apparently damaged one of the hook ups and an Electrician visited to repair this almost immediately. The CL is on hard standing which is beneficial given the local climate. There is no toilet block or shower facilities. There is a normal toilet emptying point and an area for recycling. The local area has a number of interesting villages to visit as well as the larger towns of Bannf, Macduff and others further afield. There are good opportunities for dog walking nearby. Overall an excellent CL which is a credit to the owners.

A hidden gem

This has to be one of the nicest CL's we have stayed at. A quiet site set in countryside with walks in the surrounding fields. Yes, it is located next to the owners small factory building, which looks like a barn. However, there is no noise and the only contact we had with it was talking to the man working there and he gave us some fresh local rolls, know as butteries to eat! The business makes and repairs prawn trawls and you can see them in action down at the local village, Gardenstown with its pretty harbour and beach. It also has a smashing cafe half way down the hill to the harbour with home made food and cakes. The site itself offers hard standings with fully serviced pitches. The owners have gone one better in supplying each pitch with water and waste pipes and connections. Linda the owner is a mine of local information and most welcoming. There is so much to see and do nearby. Beaches, coves, harbours, castles and pretty villages. We especially enjoyed the National lighthouse museum in Fraserburgh. Golf courses are everywhere and coastal paths to walk. We saw hares in the field beside the site and birds galore. The site has no toilet or shower block or information point, but the serviced pitches and the welcome, not to mention the value for money more than make up. We will most definitely be back.

Great site

Just arrived and what a great site. Hard standings each with water and grey waste. Booked a couple of days ago and owner was apologetic for not going to be there when we arrived. No problem her brother came down to check all was well and supplied local information. A five star site!

5 * C L

This CL is like a 5* site.   All hard standing pitches have own water and waste provided together with hoses as well as EHU and free Wi fi.  Michael & Linda being motor home owners have certainly taken the best ideas and incorporated them into their own site. Friendly Linda arrived to welcome us and provided local information. The site has stunning views across the countryside and anyone who has never been to this corner of Scotland should give it a try and stay on this C L

Friendliest owner ever!

Stayed in our MH for one night during our tour of Scotland. The other reviewers have said it all, Linda was so friendly - she appeared in her car shortly after our arrival specifically to welcome us & she doesn`t even live on site, an example to all those CL owners that you never see or have to seek out. The only thing missing is a good dog walk from the site, but that is one thing the owners can`t add - everything else is provided,even a bottle of Domestos & 2 rolls of black sacks next to chemical waste point. Setting the standard.

Shh don't tell anyone

I nearly didn't post this review so that I can keep it secret. Amazing site with fully serviced pitches. Very clean. Linda is really friendly. You won't be disappointed. The photos don't do it justice. Don't worry about the windmill nearby. You can't hear it.

Excellent!

A warm welcome from Michael and Linda awaits all here.   It really makes a difference when your CL owners care about their guests.  You will not be dissapointed here!We extended our stay from 4 days to 11!  Gardenstown is delightful and neighbouring bays also. These individual hardstanding pitches are essentially fully serviced!  We would love to return!

Bit remote

We stayed in June 2015 for two nights. Nice sized pitches serviced with grey and fresh water and electric at each pitch. On a slope so we needed ramps but no issue. It's quite exposed so you get the wind when it blows. Linda is lovely and couldn't do enough to help. We had the mother of all storms one night and she turned up first thing to make sure we were ok. Gardenstown is the nearest town about a 2 mile walk. The walk back is very steep though. Banff and Macduff are very pretty and quaint but not masses to do. The council have allowed for motorhome parking so no problem taking the van in and the seafront is particularly pretty. The spot lights came on at night which we thought was unnecessary but some may like that. Also there are wind turbines in the nearby fields which make a noise when turning. That said in our stay the wind was so strong you could hear little else!

Bliss near the coast

Linda and Michael have got it so right with there site. The surroundings are scenic and whilst staying  the weather turned and the barn gave great protection from the wind.  The site is set out with wide hard standings, water and waste to each pitch, elsan and bins are immaculate and Linda checks them daily.  Two nicer people you could not wish to meet, and will provide you with all the info and leaflets you will need on the area.

The little coastal towns towards Buckie are very pretty. All in all price, cleanliness, access to Wifi  and views together with Linda and Michael, makes this an excellent place to stay.
