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.

Enough room for four units
Sunnybrae
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 a few yards away. Three of the pitches are of an acceptable spacing however we were sandwiched between the entrance and another van and the space between us was just 4m. Our neighbours pitch did not have sufficient room for an awning or canopy because of a tree and with just 4m of space between us and them we were also unable to put up our canopy.
Priced at a competitive £18 per night but realistically this CL should only be licenced for four units.

Tight site.
Sunnybrae
Best described as a ‘garden site’, very small and tightly packed, vans very close to each other.
Friendly and relaxing
Sunnybrae
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
Sunnybrae
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 our arrival, what a lovely man, very friendly and helpful. Allowed us to site our van to enjoy the views across the Moray, and wow what views they are. The site itself is very peaceful with little to no noise from any roads. The only noise was from the building of the house just across the lane, but even that wasn't too intrusive.
Due to sad circumstances the site wasn't very busy throughout our stay, which made it even more peaceful for us.
Mike even took the time to come and say goodbye when hitching up and leaving.
One bit of advice when arriving don't come up through the village as the turn into the site may be a little sharp, however coming off of the A98 and down the lane you have straight access in.
Picturesque views.
Sunnybrae
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 Mike decides to stay open (sorry for your loss buddy) you are a gentleman and thank you for honouring our booking.
Love
Tim & Sue
