On our first visit to Smithy Croft CL we were given a warm and friendly welcome from the owners. The CL was bordered by daffodils and had some spring flowers in tubs, the grass was very well maintained. The elevated postion of the site afforded beautiful views across the surrounding countryside. It is ideally situated for visits to nearby coastal villages, parks, railway walks and National Trust properties. If you are travelling with dogs the nearby village of Strichen has a community park which is ideal for off lead excercise as is the magnificent Aden Country Park which has the biggest dog excerise area we have ever seen. A visit to the lighthouse museum in Fraserburgh was very interesting. An Asda store has opened in Fraserburgh and has a cafe and a card only fuel station. The fuel was the cheapest we saw in the area. We had a wonderful time and the CL was one of the best we have visited. Smithy Croft CL - a jewel in the CL network.
