A peacefuland welcoming site

My wife and I stayed on two occasions in 2024. We were made most welcome by Rae & Tommy; a lovely couple who were most helpful when enquiring about places to visit. We had a medium sized motorhome at that time. Yes, the entrance is narrow and steep, however, we did... Show more

Basic but good

Stayed here for one night as part of the NC500. It is quite difficult to find - even the description in the brochure doesn't make it easy.. We had to ring Mrs Strang to assist and she was very helpful. We were made to feel very welcomed and were offered... Show more

Caution

Stayed here for a single night stopover on the NC500. Good points - the area is spectacular. Bad points - access is awful with no warning on site details; we only just got in with our 7.6m motorhome due to the tight gates, steep track approach and overhang trees. Pitch... Show more

Excellent

Having just spent 5 days at Birchbank, I can confirm that atrocious weather did not dampen our enjoyment of this place. Yes, the location of water and chemical disposal could be better and yes, access is tight but , with care, it is far from impossible for our pretty long... Show more

I have read some of the other review and agree with a lot of the things said. I chose this site as it was in the location I wanted and the directions were a good help when arriving. Access to the site is tricky and as stated in one of... Show more

Peace, quiet and rabbits galore

Lovely little site just above the NC500 and although you can see all the other motorhomes zooming along, you can't hear them. The views are lovely. Mrs Strang arrived on her off road vehicle and was happy to sell us some of her eggs - delicious. Facilities a... Show more

Stayed here in good weather. Superb, and we agree with the previous review. Just be careful of access, we suffered a scuffed wheel arch to our long caravan which was driver's fault. There are two sets of gates, turns in the drive and a steep incline to negotiate before... Show more

Fabulous location and site

Beautiful position, elevated above the road. Fabulous views from site across the valley to Suilven and cul mor. Pitches all neatly layed out and numbered, hardstanding and level and with 16amp electric. Clean and tidy toilet in farm outbuilding. I really don't understand previous bad comments on loo. There is... Show more
