"Place with a beautiful view - The site is located directly by the sea with a great view towards the Orkney Islands * firm ground (hardstanding) * friendly reception * good starting point for various boat trips * little infrastructure apart from fast food, no grocery stores * Highland WiFi often disturbed * unheated sanitary building * hot water only as long as you press the button * no individual washing cubicles * free showers warm, but moderate jet * nearest EC machine (for foreign cards) in Thurso, where Lidl and Tesco are also located * washing machine inexpensive (2 GBP) * new dryer (1 GBP)

" - At the top of Scotland and close to the ferry service for the island of :Orkney. An excellent site for visitors to this island. Unfortunately there is no grocery store far and wide. Otherwise nice and clean with a friendly reception.

" - Fantastic location with a great view over the sea towards Orkney. You can book (relatively expensive) day trips right next to the site. Very friendly staff. Be careful with the weather, it can change very quickly from sunny to dense fog, then laundry doesn't dry but gets wetter and wetter.
