We spent 3 nights and had a fantastic experiance. Lovely walks from the site, with stunning views over the Dornoch Firth. The goats were brilliant!
Absolutely fabulous, brilliant CL
Juat had a three night stay here, all facilities are superb, and easy to use, we had part serviced pitch which was great. Loved the entertainment of the goats and ponies in the next field. Great walks in the nearby woods and Dornoch is a nice walk or quick pedal cycle where the Surf and Turf is just amazing ( scallops on black pudding with cous cous), Ride down to the beautiful beach and the Highland Larder shack caterers will provide prwn sandwich or Cajun Haddock etc... wonderful after a walk on the beach.
Dornoch itself is lovely and has an upmarket feel, very welcoming.
Davochfin farm is so close to the A9 but far enough for peace and quiet.
Love it, will use it again, definately
Very clean and welcoming site

Reasonable price with EHU.

Peaceful Stay
We spent two nights on this peaceful site in May as we made our way home from North Scotland. A lovely big field with plenty of space, and well kept facilities. We enjoyed seeing the cows and horses in the adjacent field and the chickens wandering around. There are walks directly from site down to the beach or through the woods. My husband also had a great couple of hours fishing at the lakes (in the rain!). We would happily come here again.
Peaceful and welcoming
We stayed for one night on our way to Orkney, but would definitely return for longer. As other reviews have said, it is in a very peaceful location, though with easy access. We had horses, sheep and cattle for neighbours. There were also many birds - wagtails, swallows and house martins in abundance. We saw Charlotte soon after arrival. She gave us a friendly welcome, showed us where the facilities were, and explained the route to the nearest beach - 15 minutes walk past their fishing lakes, golf range and across the fields. Beautiful, and totally deserted. Dornoch is less than 2 miles away. We didn’t have time to explore it but saw enough of the beach and village to want to return. Excellent CL with friendly owner in a lovely location. Highly recommended.

Peace and Quiet
We stayed for one night on our way up to do the NC500. The field is well kept and the disposal facilities are very clean. As it is a mile from the nearest town and not on a through road it is extremely quiet. Would definitely visit again when up that way
An excellent CL
One of the best CLs we've stayed at, booked 5 nights online and stayed for 8. Peaceful with good facilities.

Simply fabulous
Davochfin Farm is a welcoming peaceful CL with grass pitches with plenty of space on a working farm. It’s a great base to explore both north and south from Dornoch with some fabulous beaches and walks. We stayed for 4 nights before moving up to the top of Scotland and would not hesitate to return or recommend Davochfin Farm to all.
A great CL.
Beautiful and peaceful
We really enjoyed our stay with this friendly family, on their lovely farm. Lovely local walks, lots of wildlife, and walkable to Dornoch. Dornoch is beautiful , with all facilities, and a gorgeous beach. Dun Robin castle is a short drive away, and again, unforgetable. Can't wait to return.
Lovely farm CL
Access - easy enough, single track road with passing places for a short distance beyond Dornoch, or slightly longer and rougher approaching direct from the A9; then a short farm track onto the field.
Site - grass field, level and well trimmed no obvious issues with drainage/bogginess, Great views from the site across into bay/estaury. Sheep in adjacent field and hens roam the yard and onto the CL field, fresh eggs available. Being a working farm there is some animal/machinery noise, we iked this, but scored it 4/5 for peace as i know some don't.
Pitches - well spaced with easy to reach EHU and a nice neat water and CDP area at the far end of the field. Waste & rmixed recycling bins on site plus a box for bottles (which the site owner has to rake to a a bottle bank, as Scots authorities dont collect glass at the doorstep).
Area - very nice with loads of wildlife on Loch Fleet (we saw seals, an otter and ospreys) and surrounding woods, Dornoch is a nice little town with shops, eateries and a nice Chinese takeaway and is under 5 mins drive from the site. Nice walks in adjacent forest, Golspie Burn and falls and Dunrobin Castle is well worth a visit.
We arrived when owners were out, but set ourselves up without issue and they came over later to check everything was OK and were very friendly and helpful. There is an issue with their online payment system, in that I couldn't pay the full amount, only the deposit, the owners are trying to get this fixed, otherwise the option to check availability and book/pay is a nice bonus. A lovley CL in a great location that we wouldn't hesitate to return to.
