Why stay here ...

Sunnybrae is a recently re-opened half acre site situated just outside the pretty village of Findochty, commanding spectacular panoramic views over the Moray Firth and beyond (on a good day!) The site itself has 5 pitches (4 of which are hardstanding) all with new 16amp electric hookups. Drinking water tap and chemical waste disposal with rinsing tap are also provided for visitors. The site itself has a very gentle slope but the pitches are all reasonably flat.

Findochty is a small picturesque village with a scenic harbour mainly used for pleasure craft. It has a well stocked general store (0.5 mile) and a pub "The Admirals" (0.75 mile)which also provides takeaway meals as well as highly recommended lunchtime and evening meals.

The Moray coast has much to offer for a wide range of interests. Wildlife is particularly abundant with pine martens, kestrels, pheasants, roe deer and many other interesting animals and birds having been spotted from the CL site. Bottlenose dolphins are a major attraction on the Moray Firth and dolphin spotting expeditions on the "Gemini Explorer" can be taken from nearby Buckie (2 miles). For those a little less adventurous a good pair of binoculars is all that's required to catch sight of them from the comfort of your caravan. Other attractions include Strathlene Golf Club (1.25 miles), Findochty Beach (1 mile), stunning coastal walks and drives are popular in all weathers.

Many distilleries are based in the surrounding area and the world famous "Malt Whisky Trail" is always worth exploring. The Highland Games (Fochabers 9 miles) in late Spring is also a great experience and for those with an interest in the past,the area has plenty of historic castles and grand houses to seek out. For the younger visitor there is a range of activities to entertain. Go kart racing, ten pin bowling and pony trekking to name but a few.

Stargazing on a clear night is a sight to behold and The Northern Lights can sometimes make a rare incredible display.

Visitors to Sunnybrae will be guaranteed a warm welcome on arrival and we will endeavour to be of assistance throughout your stay if and when required.

Mike and Brenda look forward to seeing you.

A little gem

Lovely clean site, plenty of facilities, great free WiFi. Superb views. Host is really lovely too. The walk to the village was a little challenging for my old knees, but doable.

great welcome

The welcome was amazing and the view is priceless. As per the description the site is small but the view is large, one pitch would be tight for an awning due to a tree. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful we will definitely be returning.

Enough room for four units

Pleasant views out to sea and agricultural fields to the rear, the site is alongside a narrow lane with occasional fast-moving traffic. This is quite possibly the smallest CL we have ever stayed at. Each pitch has EHU and by default the water tap, grey waste and CDP are only... Show more

Tight site.

Best described as a ‘garden site’, very small and tightly packed, vans very close to each other.

Friendly and relaxing

Visited this site several times, friendly welcome from Mike as usual. Very relaxing, good beaches nearby and good shops in Buckie. Mike's closing CL over this winter but we hope he decides to reopen next year.

Amazing site

We stayed for 10 nights at the end of July/beginning of August and will definitely be going back, if Mike continues. It's a small site but so long as you have facilities in your van for toilet and showering the site provides everything else you need. We were met by Mike on... Show more

Picturesque views.

Myself and Susan spent 12 day's at Sunnybrae. We didn't want to leave. It's been the best long trip to date. We had glorious weather and the views are stunning. We managed to see Bottle Nose Dolphins on the final 2 nights which was another bonus. We hope to return if... Show more

Fabulous little site with helpful and friendly owners. Couldn’t ask for more.

I visited Sunnybrae in my little Campervan (with my dog) at the tail end of 2022. It was a perfectly positioned site for my needs with beautiful views and it was so calm and tranquil. The site is within walking distance of the local town and not far... Show more

We stayed on site for 4 nights and Mike was very welcoming and allowed us to pick our pitch. We walked into Findochty and had a walk around - stopped for a drink in the local pub. The site is small and unique and has all of the... Show more

Nice little CL

Stayed here for one night in early May '22. The owner made us very welcome & was informative. The pitches were a little on the small side but adequate. Enjoyed the walk down to the harbour.
