Only a one night stop
We visited this CL in May 2013 as part of our Orkney & Shetland trip. Having just spent four nights at the Point of Ness site in Stromness, we needed a site just for one night before catching the overnight ferry from Kirkwall to Lerwick the next evening.
We arrive unannounced which didn’t appear to be a problem to the owner but there was only one pitch available for two motorhomes! For just the one night one of us was allowed to park up beside the owners barns which was supposed to be more sheltered than the actual site as we seemed to stay in the middle of a full on gale! A temporary electric hook up was made available to us.
However we were mistaken to think that our pitch was more sheltered as we were buffeted all night long by high winds which shook the van & rattled all the loose metalwork on the adjacent barn!
The views from the site over Eynhallow Sound to Rousay were spectacular. There is a short circular walk down to the Broch of Gurness from the site and we had a nice beach walk along the Sands of Evie before heading back inland & to the site. The dogs enjoyed running into the sea chasing sticks & stones!
We only stayed the one night, but from what we experienced, the site is well looked after and located in a great setting overlooking the coastline.
