Clean and comfortable pods
Guests enjoy their camping experience in the pods. They find them to be very clean and tidy, cosy and secure. Although basic, the pods have power sockets, a light, and a heater. It certainly helps make for a less fraught camping trip as the impact of any potential bad weather is put to one side.
positive:
Beautiful surroundings
The campsite is set in picturesque and peaceful surroundings. You will find that you really can switch off from the outside world and relax. Guests like being able to go for walks in the lovely woodland setting and say there is plenty of wildlife to see.
positive:
Good location
The campsite is only a
short distance from places to visit including Loch Ness, which is only a short
drive away, and Urquhart Castle. Guests find it to be a good location to use as
a base for exploring all around the area.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Midges are a menace
It cannot be avoided
that there are lots of midges throughout the Highlands of Scotland and guests
do find that they suffer from being bitten. Guests would appreciate it if the
windows could have an insect screen fitted, mainly so they could keep midges out
if they wanted to leave windows open during the night.
negative:
Some small extras would be appreciated
Guests do appreciate that facilities will be limited as they are camping, but would have appreciated a few little extra. While the campsite has a barbecue, there is no charcoal or any wood for the fire pit. Also, there could be a mirror inside the pods, suggest some guests.
negative:
Not enough shower facilities
Shower facilities are limited at the campsite and some guests felt that there were not enough for all the campers present.
