Good for families

Can't fault it!

We have visited this site several times before as it is the closest to Aberdeen, where our daughter and her family live. This visit was something special as our daughter was due to give birth to her second child on 14 December, so we had booked a fully serviced pitch from 12 - 27 December on the assumption that the baby would be late, and she was!  Elspeth Rose finally made an abrupt appearance at 9pm on 25th December, and was delivered by her father before the paramedics arrived.  Happily, Mum is very well and Elspeth is now thriving. We had advised the wardens of our circumstances when we arrived on 12th, and they were tremendously supportive to us throughout our stay.  I cannot thank and praise them enough.  They even accommodated us, an additional nights stay at short notice since the baby was late in arriving. The site and shower block as always was spotless.  Despite the very cold weather (-4C some nights) the water supply taps did not freeze as they have been fitted with trace heaters.  This being our first winter stay, I was not clever enough to realise that the hose connecting the water supply to the caravan would freeze in such conditions, so I had to bring the hose into the caravan to defrost it before we could have water again.  A lesson learned for the future! On one day we brought our 2 year old grandson to the site where he stayed overnight.  He enjoyed the children's playground next to the leisure centre that is adjacent to the site, and the cafe's in Stonehaven.  The playground on the site is quite small with only a couple of small rides. We like the town of Stonehaven which has grown from the original small fishing village.  The pub/restaurants around the harbour as always a pleasure to visit.  This time we also went to the Villa tea room nearby the harbour, and found it to be very good. We will definitely be back at this site several times in 2015 to visit our daughter, and her now extended family.  we're looking forward to it already.
