Truly Peaceful

This is my second attempt at leaving a review, no idea what happened the first time.  We planned our trip to Altnaharra based on the location and after reading many of the reviews. We were not disappointed. From the moment we arrived until we left some 10 days later (end of April) we were made to feel welcome and special by the new wardens Kenny and Laura. We experienced snow, frost, winds (gales?), rain and sunshine, often all in one day and also found we'd pitched our 'van over one of the natural water run offs from the elevated site to the Loch (flooded awning) but the peace and tranquility brought on by staying in this fantastic place stopped us from worrying about it. The scenery is stunning, the fly fishing is dire (well it was for me). So many places to visit, we covered most of the route 500 whilst there. It was just such a lovely, friendly part of Scotland, at one stage we found ourselves checking house prices. There is very little for children to do on this site so I could understand families being frustrated staying here and the single track roads (with passing points) might put some caravanners off but we thought it all added to the natural splendour and pace of life of the area. For wildlife and bird enthusiasts, it's a dream. More red deer than you can shake a stick at and some fairly rare birds such as the black throated diver swimming past the caravan each evening (we were only 5-6 metres from the water's edge). Pine Martens have been seen and photographed actually on the site. Already planning our return trip.
