This was my second visit, and it just gets better. Splendid views. The local area easy to get to and an abundance of wildlife. Keep this a secret, but, a splendid beach is about a 10 or 15 minute easy walk.
Otherwise I can only echo what others have said.
Wonderful!
This is a lovely CL, very well kept and with views over Durnloch Firth. It is extremely quiet with birdsong and lambs only to wake you in the morning. It has lovely dog walks by the sea or in the woods. It is also a great place if you want to explore Durnoch town, Tain, Golspie and of course Dunrobin Castle. Mr MacGillivary was the perfect host. Highly recommended.
Spring Visit
This pleasant site is situated behind the farm buildings on a relatively flat lawned field with views over the Dornoch Firth. There is a hard drive up to the site from a quiet single track lane about 1 ml from Dornoch, with plenty of passing places. It is ideal for those wanting a quiet, peaceful relaxing break. There are good dog walks, through Camore Woods just a field away, and down to the shore across the lane from the farm drive. There are 4 Trout fishing lakes, and a driving range attached to the farm. Tain, 8 mls away has a Tesco, Asda & a Lidl for all your supplies, the former 2 both with fuel pumps. Close by there are many interesting places to visit eg Glen Morangie Distillary, Dunrobin Castle and the Falls of Shin. We will definitely use this site again when in the area.
Peace and quiet
We have just returned from this site after spending the last 5 nights 13/8/12 to 18/8/12 there. We had an eventful journey after our car broke down on the A9 , but after a lot of phone calls to the AA and the Land Rover garage in Inverness and our great friend Martin Bannatyne we reached this site tired and stressed out.
However after a good nights sleep we awoke to a tranquil setting and after a while we were totally chilled out . Mr MacGillivary the site owner offerred us lots of help with lifts into Dornoch if required and on the one occassion the power tripped on the site he rectified the fault immediately on being told .
The site itself is surrounded by sheep and cattle none of which posed a problem to us . We all tried our hand at fishing ( all exterme novices ) with rod hire available and bait and all 3 of us managed to catch a fish each, beautiful rainbow trout . Mr MacGillivary again came to the rescue and showed us how to clean the fish ready for cooking and gave us tips on how to cook trout properly.
The golf range is 200 metres from the site and again is very reasonably priced . The pitch and putt is also available but we didn't try that . Instead we went and played Golspie which is a fantastic course with amazing greens and spectacular views.
All in all we cannot wait to go back to Dornoch and will certainly use this site even if others are available .
