Just back from our second visit this year to Balbirnie. This site is very local to us (only 30 mins away), but once parked up, you could be miles away from anywhere. We previously stayed in August and had hoped to be able to use the same pitch but it was already taken. Turned out to be a good thing. The pitch we chose this time around was superb. Nestled among trees with sunshine late morning/early afternoon made our stay and even bigger pleasure than before! The wardens on the site are very helpful and friendly and are always working away keeping the place neat and tidy. TV reception was excellent and so was mobile signal on our selected pitch (4G for the duration!). Balbirnie Park, adjacent to the site is fantastic for us and our 3 dogs. Lots of nice walks. Despite being vermin, I was still fascinated by the squirrels, working away storing food for the winter. That and a deer running over the park one morning made the stay that little bit more special. Ah yes, and the distinctive call of an owl on the first evening. Some may find these things annoying - not me. Despite only being a short drive away from home for us, we will absolutely visit again.
