Summer Holiday 2014
We booked only a week for 12/07/14 as we hadn't expected much in terms of location and weather. We were pleasantly surprised by both.
The CL was easy enough to find following the directions in the book, although not sure if the SatNav would have given us problems coming from the South and wanting to cross country.
Very well maintained lawn inside a walled garden, which offers shelter and positioned to enjoy the sun. The pitches are marked out by numbers on the wall, but not obvious on arrival and not obvious that the booking system is in the wooden info hut. We were lucky enough to pitch on the one allocated to us. There is opportunity to pay for the pitch by putting money in the locked box, which we did. We then asked to stay another night and the owner managed to catch us enabling us to pay for the additional night. The owner then came back twice more asking if she'd already seen us, was feeling a little harassed at this point as though I hadn't paid. It maybe wasn't the intention and perhaps a better system of marking who had paid and who hadn't would avoid this.
We loved being able to walk around the estate with our 'nervous of roads' dog, as the owners encouraged visitors to go and explore. There were other walled gardens to pop in and out of, although a little overgrown good enough for the dog to jump around in.
The surrounding area is beautiful, dog-friendly beaches, plenty of places to visit.
There is a Sainsbury's on the outskirts of Nairn which was very convenient.
Would recommend a visit to this site (my friends are returning end August having visited there last year)
