Been using CLs since 2016. Stayed in early June 2024. Weather fine, sunny, but chilly. Justine was very efficient after booking - no vague instructions and lack of interest in us. This is a wonderful spot for a peaceful holiday in superb surroundings, on our first venture from Lancashire to this part of Scotland. We have a very active Springer Spaniel, who wants to give the site ten stars! . This is a lovely, well maintained site with a vast area of mown grass in a lovely setting, with well spaced pitches, good access and thoughtful touches provided by the owners, who are quietly procactive throughout your stay to make sure all is well. The River Dee is 200 metres away, complete with a 'calendar page' type view from the nearby bridge. We saw red squirrels, heard a cuckoo several times, and enjoyed watching deer and numerous other wildlife on our various trips out through breathtaking scenery. The site allows easy access to a myriad of superb spots for walking, sightseeing and relaxing. The whole area is clean and well looked after - Ballater and Aboyne enjoy a full range of decent independent shops and cafes etc for all tastes. The big garden centre at Banchory is amazing (and has a good restaurant!), and Morrisons and Tesco are nearby (off A93 at Banchory) for fuel and shopping. Talking of fuel - diesel was several pence cheaper up there than at home! The site was suggested by friends who stayed here last year and having seen their photos, we booked it. I am not one to leave reviews, but this site deserves one for being so good! Thank you from Robert, Cheryl and Ted (the dog who had to go home for a rest!) Now for the bad news - we will be back!
