A room with a view!
Arrived here on 27th June for 6 nights. Later than anticipated as we had a little trouble with one of the caravan legs. (don't ask..... it was all my fault!). Being June & hot & sunny we were not surprised to find the site full so we didn't get the option of choosing a pitch as there was only one left! No 2 just as you enter the site. Well what a view to wake up to each morning, not only wall to wall sunshine but a view over the Loch and surrounding mountains. Bliss! It is a fairly big site & being full you would expect it to be a little noisy but it wasn't. I noted from the comments book that people all liked to moan about the slightly dated toilets! For goodness sake, some people! They were very clean, tidy & perfectly adequate along with the washing up area. A short walk out of the site to the Corran ferry takes you over the Loch (free to foot passengers) where there is a very nice Inn for some welcome liquid refreshment. We treated ourselves one evening to a trip over for an evening meal. Dogs were made welcome in the bar area & in fact he was given a bowl of water & biscuits before we got our drinks! Our meal was excellent fish & chips.....well the size of the fish! it hung over the side of the plate. Then you just look out the door to see if you have time for another beverage before checking if the ferry is on its way back! Fort William is about 8 miles away where there is a Morrisons for petrol etc & just up the road a little way is a new Aldi & M & S foods so you are spoilt for choice. We did the cable car up to the Ben Nevis range which was worth the views. We also had a drive round Glencoe & visited the Ben Nevis distillery which was worth a tipple! It was sad to leave & congratulations should be given to Angus (who was just such a friendly helpful chap) & the other wardens who all do an excellent job. My only one moan was to other members who can't read that the speed limit is 5mph & have to drive around at unacceptable speeds! After all we are all on holiday so what's the rush!
