Summer 2013

We have stayed on this CL for the first and last time! Whilst the scenery was stunning the CL left a lot to be desired. The lower pitches were very tight and we had to unhitch the van to site it as there was insufficient room to manoeuvre the car whilst coupled to the van (we don't have a motor mover fitted on the van). The pitch was very sandy which meant a constant stream of grit into the van. Also not very keen on the drone of the extractor from the hotel kitchen morning and night.

STUNNING LOCATION

We enjoyed a five day break over the May bank holiday weekend with great weather thrown in for good measure. I know the area well having visited the highlands for over 50 years and my sister now lives only a few miles away. The owners are very experienced hoteliers and the hotel food was very good! Inverness is only 20 mins away and Fort augustus about 35-40 mins depending on how distracted you are by the scenery! We had the wonderful sight one evening of watching a pair of Hares boxing in the adjacent field. It is a great location, very quiet, stunning views, friendly and helpful site owners. Our only observations are the lower 2 pitches are quite sandy and our awning pegs wouldn't bite so had to abandon that (the uppper pitches have a topping layer which seemed to help) and the loo's in the hotel are only accessible during 'pub' opening hours so you do need to be self sufficient, otherwise a great site! I have to say anyone expecting a bus route hasn't done their research properly, this is not fault of the site owners!

Handy for Loch Ness, if you have a car

We stayed here in September 2011 on a trip around the highlands. The site has good quality hard-standings, overlooking the hills and fells. Although there were no other facilities, the hotel bar was open to non-residents and they produced very tasty (but not cheap) meals, we dined there for a special occasion. The minor road, on which the hotel is set, was pleasant for cycling, though keep an eye out for timber lorries which drive very fast! The RSPB reserve of Loch Ruthven was an easy walk away, Slavonian grebes can be seen there in the summer. We saw a few red squirrels in the wooded walks just south of the hotel. Loch Ness was a few miles away, but you would need a car to get there. As we usually park our motorhome and use our cycles or public transport, we only gave this site a 3 stars as there were no buses nearby and few adjacent footpaths.
