June 2024

Final approach to this CL is very straightforward, with the site entrance at the top of the field after a short uphill track off the roadway. What determines the pitching here is the electrical distribution outlets, as these run sequentially down one side - leaving the rest of the grassed field open/unused. On our visit not all visitors had thought too carefully about their use of space, hence to access the one remaining electrics point left meant us squeezing in between other outfits - at considerable compromise to what is considered safe. The owner was apologetic - but cannot see each arrival in personally. It’s a lesson to all of us to be aware of the way we use space efficiently when we pitch. There is a gradient on this field as mentioned by other reviewers, but a manageable gradient, so with normal levelling wedges blocks you can get level. The grass was meadow length, and well controlled. Though the grass was wet we didn’t have any traction difficulties. The site surroundings are well sheltered and quiet, with just a little awareness of distant road noise. Water, waste and disposal points all accessible and functional. A site to recommend !

Lovely site

We loved this site so much we came back again. The site is within an old walled garden and is on a slight slope, so blocks will be required in most cases. The facilities aren't the best, to be honest, but I can forgive that because it remains a lovely place to be, and the owners are wonderful. There's a tap, a toilet waste facility and bins, so all we needed. Unfortunately, we arrived immediately following a long period of awful weather and got bogged down as soon as we drove onto the grass. The owner dragged us back onto the track and, as there were no others booked, there we remained for our two nights. Elizabeth gave us a guided tour of her (other!) walled garden and she was very knowledgeable about the plants she has tended for very many years as well as the new crops being planted. We didn't test the public transport as we drove into Inverness for the day, knowing we'd be able to park. If you're looking for a slightly olde worlde peaceful spot, this is the place to visit. Thanks again Elizabeth - we enjoyed your site once again (and sorry for ploughing up the lawn!).

What a lovely site

This is a wonderful Cl site. The grass is beautifully cut and collected so it doesn't get trailed into the van. The site is basic but that adds to it's charm. The electrics are good as is the TV reception. I can't comment on the WiFi as I'm on holiday so couldn't care less. The slope is minimal but does mean blocks are required of which there is the odd one or two provided. The walled garden is open to walk through if you wish to do so. There is ample room for five vans on site and the owner is a lovely old fella who comes to collect your fees. Will definitely revisit when in the area.

Outdated CL Site

This CL site is in a great location for exploring but it needs to be brought up to the 21st century. On entering the site you travel up an uneven surface caused by farm machinery and the entrance is a sharp turn to the right. The chemical waste point is a disgrace and badly needs upgrading to the standard of other CL’s that we have visited. There is NO WiFi on the pitches, if you want a signal you have to walk 150yds through the trees and stand outside Geddes House. We would not return.

Our own almost private estate.

Referring to other reviews, we heard little road noise and there is a Sainsbury just outside of Nairn. Yes, the site is sloping, the grass left lying and facilities fairly basic. The water tap is at the bottom of the grassy slope which with a camper we needed to drive to, luckily it was firm ground. The walled garden is a delight, there is an information shed where you can exchange books, the owner collected the money in the evening and was very pleasant. Compared to other CLs the price is reasonable. If you want expensive luxury go to a campsite!

Close to Cawdor Castle, Fort George and Culloden

Situated in an old walled garden which is in a slope, so levelling blocks required. Grass left to get a little long, and the mower leaves a lot of the cuttings behind, meaning damp dying grass gets walked inside. Rough, gravel entrance to farm lane very uneven due to use by tractors and large lorries. Very sharp turn from farm lane into walled garden area. Chemical emptying point very basic! Adjacent road used as unofficial Nairn bypass morning and evening, so quite a lot of road noise at those times - otherwise quite peaceful. Nairn is quite small and we could only find a Co-Op supermarket - good sandy beaches though.

A fine CL

This is a quiet CL, sheltered in a former walled garden. It is well maintained with the grass well mown. There were 3 vans there when we stayed, if full then the spaces between caravans may feel a little cramped although there is plenty of space on the site. Lots to see in the area. We would return.

Lovely stay

This site is in a lovely former walled garden, sheltered from the wind & a sun trap. We were welcomed by the owners husband who guided into the CL as we had missed the signage- his welcome was warm & genuine & he invited us to explore the grounds of his home during our stay. Gardens were beautiful & well maintained. Quiet, peaceful - a real gem of a simple CL ; we would definitely return as Nairn offers a really pleasant seaside town & a good spring board to explore the local coastline (don't miss Findhorn beach beyond the sand dunes!)

Sun Trap in Scotland?!

We had a great stay at this location. Plenty of room to pitch up. Well protected and a real sun trap hence the site is within a walled area once a walled garden. The owners could not be more helpful. Easy access to the area with local shops & supermarkets in easy reach. The long sandy beach is a couple of miles away and forests close by. The Cairngorms are in easy reach also with main road links for the highlands easily accessible. Red Squirrels are on site with plenty of bird life around the site. Remember this is a working farm which produces farm traffic. Loved it and will return.
