We booked Firbank CL on the basis of the previous glowing reviews, and we were not disappointed. The communication before we arrived was excellent and we had a warm welcome from Justine who gave us lots of advice on what to do in the area. The site is lovely, very spacious and surrounded by mature trees with lots of birds flying around. Each pitch has an electric hook up and water supply, with plenty of space between each pitch. The toilet is set is a little building towards one end of the field and is kept really clean. The CL is set in an excellent location for exploring Royal Deeside and we enjoyed trips to Loch Muick, Balmoral Castle and Ballater. Our dog enjoyed the beautiful local walks around the Muir of Dinnet Nature Reserve and Glen Tanar. There are also excellent off-road cycling options directly from the site, along the Deeside way and in Glen Tanar, we cycled a new route every day we were there. Aboyne is a 30 minute cycle or a 10 minute drive away and has some lovely cafes (including Spider on a Bicycle and the Black Faced Sheep), a well-stocked Co-Op and a good pub (The Boat Inn). This is a lovely CL in an excellent location and Justine and Archie work hard to maintain the site, we highly recommend a visit and will definitely return.
