Excellent holiday despite indifferent weather

Once again we had a great break at his site, which we visit every year. Wardens do a great job of keeping the site neat and tidy. The only change since last time is that there was only one toilet key issued on arrival, and it was explained that due to replacement locks being fitted, only key per pitch was being issued. This is quite an inconvenience, as visits to the facilities need to be co-ordinated. The old system of two keys per pitch would solve the problem

On our way to the Orkney Isles

This was part of an emotional tour from Cornwall to the Orkney Isles and Blyth (England) - my father's service during the war and our evacuation location from London. A lovely site, well kept & beyond the Caravan Club minimum standard, you could even pick herbs from the baskets outside the reception. An added bonus was the sun shined having been in the clouds coming up the west side of Scotland. Well recommended. Recommend a visit to Castle of Mey. John o' Groats was very commercialised as expected. A visit to Dunnet Head is also recommended as the most northern part of the UK mainland.

Scotland Tour 2016

Stayed here for three nights, the wardens were friendly and helpful and 'reserved' us a pitch as we have a large caravan which turned out to be the pitch we would have chosen! Facilities were clean and did the job, for a small site there was still plenty of space and not overcrowded even though it was full when we were there. Would recommend booking.

Very nice stay

We stayed here in the middle of June and found the site up to the usual standard. The welcome we received was friendly, we were offered assistance to park up if required as we had no mover on our caravan and were asked not to drive over the grass. We chose a spot near the road (we had been warned it may be noisy there) but found it to be quite a good place to be. The view we had was very good and the facilities were clean and well kept. It is a very good place to explore the north of Scotland and we took a day trip to the Orkneys from John O Groats, it was very handy for the day trip. The beach is super, with miles of sand and you are able to watch the surfers! We had four nights here and could have stayed longer.

Stay more than one night!

Had three nights here, and loved the location - right next to sandy beach which stretches for about 2 miles. In addition, Dunnet Head, Duncansby Head, Castle of Mey and Mary Anne's Croft Museum recommended. Thurso only 20 minute drive away. I found wardens welcoming, friendly, cheerful and helpful: seems odd that some people have been saying the opposite. I wonder if the explanation is that these visitors did not encounter the regular wardens: a couple who are on duty 7 days a week with a locum sent in every few weeks while they get a week-long break. Will definitely return - and for more than 3 nights next time. So much to do here!

Location, location!

Location is everything for this site. Easy access to a beautiful sandy bay backed by huge sand dunes. The sunset from the beach is just breathtaking. We cycled to Dunnet Head and then The Castle of Mey via Scarfskerry on very quiet roads with again fantastic views. The wardens are very helpful, upbeat and always so cheerful. This is a well maintained and clean site with little added touches such as planters with herbs to help yourself. The food at the nearby hotel is also good.

Front row entertainment

Stayed here for 7 nights during late June. The wardens were excellent always ready with a smile and advice. The site itself does back onto a road and due to our late arrival we had very little choice but to pitch next to the road. Don't panic if it happens to you there is very little traffic and to be honest we got used to it quickly. A bigger problem were flies (not midges) they did seem worse nearer the road, no idea why, possibly the long grass which borders the boundary fence. Flies aside this is one of those sites with some views out to sea meaning some people are on permanent alert for those with a sea view leaving. It's then a case of who can get that spot first. It's also one of those sites (an increasing problem perhaps) where outfits turn up well before 12 noon (as early as 10.30am according to the wardens) to try and get those perfect pitches. Provides good entertainment but is another example of the rules being for everyone else. Back to the site itself. It is in a glorious location and the sun sets are worth the effort of getting there.

Jewel of the North

We stayed here in early July - magnificent site. I have passed the site on 100's of occasions in the past prior to having a motorhome so knew how popular it was, i stayed in the area as a child so also knew the area. The site is on the edge of Dunnet Bay, a superb sandy beach which is great for kids/families to enjoy. You are a short drive/cycle to Dunnet Head the Northern most point of the GB Mainland. You are also only ~14 miles to John O' Groats which has a passenger ferry that runs day trips to Orkney. Scrabster which has a car ferry to Orkney is also only 10 miles away, a smaller car ferry runs from Gills Bay across to the islands but this really needs to be booked in advance. Lots to do & lots to see,excellent site, great facilities,helpful wardens........not to be missed if you are truly up North. Happy
