Excellent option for touring the NC500 or looking for a quiet getaway.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Everything about the facilitiy. The hosts were welcoming and the site we were allocated was spacious and clean. The site is on a working farm so lots of lovely animals to see, particularly at this time of year. We intend to return with our grandson precisely because of this. We were only a few minutes inland from the North Coast 500 route but was very quiet and peaceful. Easy access to the NC500, cycle routes and sea swimming. Also several good feeding stations nearby in Melvich and Bettyhill.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike - the site/hosts surpassed our expectations.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Great place to stay! Hosts were very welcoming even supplied us with Morning pancakes. Definitely recommend for a nights stay very quiet even though it was a working farm. Saw lambs being born. No showers or CWP or Wi-Fi but that was fine for us we knew before hand.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: A very different place to stay. Only 2 pitches, but both with electricity. On a working farm with unlimited access to anywhere on the farm. Lots of different animals (we saw sheep, pigs, highland cows, goats, chickens) and owners happy to take time to chat and answer any questions.

Rosanna D. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: What a wonderful spot! So quiet and beautiful but also an actual proper working farm. The owners were really friendly despite being VERY busy lambing. We were invited to wonder around the barns and saw a lamb born. We stroked the Highland coos and petted the goats too. We cheekily asked to borrow a screwdriver to repair a connection in the van before we left and were quickly accommodated. It's almost off grid with EHU only. (We got O2 4g) But that's not a problem for us, it's part of the charm. There's a great pub and the most stunning beach in Melvich too. Would definitely return!

Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

Liked: I would just like to thank you all for making us feel so welcome last night on your farm. I loved meeting all the animals, playing with the dogs and holding a newborn lamb. It was a lovely treat for me as I love all animals. Hopefully we will get back up sometime to spend more time on your farm.

Local attractions

In among all the antics on site, it’s worth finding time to explore the local area – as so often with the Highlands, it’s rather gorgeous. For starters, there’s a splendid sandy beach a mile and a half away at Melvich, and you can take a walk out to the cliffs at Puffin Cove to see the birds from may to early August. For a tipple or two to go with your evening meal, swing by the Wolfburn Distillery (25 minutes’ drive) for your whisky or Rock Rose (40 minutes) for a bottle of local gin. The seafood’s pretty good around here too – stop by at Scrabster or Thurso (both 25 minutes) to see boats coming in and see what you can find to eat. Alternatively, grab your golf clubs for a day on the course at Reay (10 minutes), stroll around 16th-century Castle of Mey (45 minutes) or take a day tour to Orkney from Thurso. If you’ve not yet snapped a pic of yourself by the John o’Groats sign, that’s slightly less than an hour away.
