This CL is easy to find as the old hotel is shown on Google maps and there is a large stag statue just beyond the gates. The gates are not positioned far enough away from the road for a towing vehicle to clear the road, so if they are closed one has to pull up short, but the road is very quiet so this isn't an issue. Acces to the pitches was OK when we stayed, although the access to the lower terrace via the left side of the pitches is too steep and rough to get a caravan down safely (perhaps it is this mentioned in other reviews). With a 13m combination and a non working mover, getting onto pitch 1 (the biggest pitch, which we were allocated) was tricky and the other pitches were small, so if erecting an awning, your vehicle would have to be parked off pitch. They are ideal for camper vans and all but largest MH though. Our we!come was fine, it's obvious where everything is, so we didn't need any help really and had paid by BACS prior to arrival, so it was a quick hello and told to call the owner if we had any issues.
The hotel and restaurant are permanently closed, so there is nothing else at the site currently, although there are clearly changes being made to the building.
The best thing about this site is the location and views, the gardens around are full of bird life with whimbrels, lapwings & red kites etc aroud, deer on the hills, cuckoo's calling and a stunning view all around. RSPB reserve at Ruthven is well worth a visit, home to the rare Slavonian Grebe and a lovely place. Loads to do in the area, we walked around Foyers falls, visited Culloden and Fort Henry and Inverness is a major centre with all shops etc.
A site we would very happily go to again, but maybe not for everyone, especially if you want to put up a large awning.
