Arrived at Maragowan and loved the location. The area is beautiful and there are great walks for the dog nearby. Killin hotel great for food and an easy walk.
Sadly the site was let down by the wardens. They appear disinterested,grumpy,unhelpful and display a lack of knowledge re Covid19 which is worrying. As an NHS midwife and nurse for over 40 years ,I could not understand the measures they put in place. They stated they were guided by health and safety advisors. On arrival ,you are not permitted to approach the staff standing behind Perspex unless you are wearing a mask.... this whilst standing outside in the open air! The toilets and showers are closed unless you manage to book a 20 minute slot using a white board system . You may only write on the white board after 12 midday...I wrote on it at 1145 before going out and a very grumpy warden delighted in informing me that my booking would be rubbed off as it wasn’t yet 12 !, so...maybe a slot at 2pm is acceptable for a shower for some people but not most.....
When you do get in to the shower it’s like a crime scene with yellow and black tape all over the place...why this is needed when a booking system is in place I do not know! Despite the one at a time slot system we discovered a pair of pants and a razor when we went in... not a warden in sight to check /clean/sanitise.....
We love Loch Tay but won’t be returning to Maragowan.
All other sites we have visited have super friendly helpful wardens around who are there to help ....not Maragowan!!!!
