First trip of the year, didn't want to go far, we live in Aberdeen. There is some road noise but we found that you got accustomed to it and it did not bother us. Christian and Anthony keep the site up to a very good standard, daily papers can be ordered and fresh eggs are on sale. The site is only five minutes from the new Tesco and in the other direction 15 minutes to Morrisons, both have petrol stations. There is a very good walking/cycle track into Banchory. If you go the other direction you can end up in Aberdeen. The path into Banchory runs along the river Dee, you might be lucky and see one of the fishermen catch a salmon. Walking into Banchory via the main road footpath just before Morrisons there is a pub/restaurant, Scott Skinners, a fine range of beers and I was told the food is good also. In Banchory we used the Douglas Arms for lunch. This place has just had a major refurb and we found it warm and welcoming. The food was good, more gastro pub than pub food. Ravenswood, the British Legion club, is also worth a mention. Sunday lunch was good and did not break the bank. You can Google all three of these places I have mentioned. Because of the size of the site there is no children's play area but there is an area for dogs :-) All in all a very good site and will be back before long, with the bikes. P.S. To the dog owners who left their dogs pile on one of the empty pitches, Christian picked it up for you.
