Visited this site as we wanted to try out our new van with the dog coming along. Accommodated us at short notice and then managed to get us a Super pitch on arrival.
I thought the super pitch was good value for money although we did get a freeview box, not a sky box. Not sure if we were meant to get an actual Sky box, but wasn't that important to us, but if you wanted to watch a key sporting event you might be a bit cheesed off! Will take our own one the next time just in case!
Pitch was huge and very well maintained. Liked the high up position with good views. Kids loved the play park. Lots of good walks for the Dog around.
About a 10/15 min walk in to the village. Had the best curry for ages from the Indian rest on the corner, worthwhile going back for that alone!
Found the toilets and washrooms excellent.
All in all a very pleasant trip, and the dog behaved on his first camping visit too!
We stayed here for a few nights during the Easter holidays and had a great time. With 2 adults and 2 kids on a Super Pitch it was a bit pricey, but then again with full water, waste and electrical hookup along with free wi-fi and satellite TV it was worth the cost (not saying I'd want to pay that every time though). The pitch was huge, had great views as it was a bit higher up, but maybe a bit stark due to it being all gravel and tarmac. That has its advantages though, especially in some weather conditions, but excuse my language trying to get the awning pegs in.
The facilities on the site are good with a number of warm, clean toilet blocks and a play park our youngest wouldn't have left if he'd had a choice.
There's plenty to do in the area, especially if you like to walk or cycle, with some routes starting close to the site too. A site we intend to re-visit, especially as it's close enough for us to do for a weekend trip.
We have just spent 5 nights here in very cold weather.
The site is fabulous and deserves the good reviews I have previously read.
The wardens are lovely and friendly, and the good service started before we arrived as I rang twice before we arrived and even enquired about the roads and if they were passable due to the snow.
Toilets and showers are excellent. Spotless with private cubicles and brilliant hairdryers. The shower block is as warm as toast and a pleasure to use.
There is not a dog walk on site however there are plenty of walks within 2 minutes of the site and we were given a sheet with all of the local walks described. The walks are fantastic.
We have used the wifi available but it is expensive at £8 per day.
Location is brilliant as a 5 minute walk to Grantown, which is a smart place. Butcher sells very good meat, Coop excellent and other nice bakeries. We also visited the smokehouse.
We booked one night here and were very pleased with the whole site. Wardens were very friendly and showed us to our pitch. We opted for a super pitch which comes with wi-fi and satellite tv. I know most people don't come away to watch TV and surf the net, but with two small children, the TV came in handy after bedtime! It was very easy to set up. The pitch itself was really big, loads of room for the awning and bikes etc. I didn't begrudge paying £23. 50 for the night.
The toilet/ shower facilities were excellent. Clean and warm with music playing which I thought was a nice touch. The grounds were well lit and the site appeared to be well maintained. Our two boys spent a lot of time in the play area and we found it to be safe and a good size.
Booking was very easy via the website.
The town is a ten min walk with two children in tow, and the road is adequately lit in the evening. The Co-op is very well kitted out and the is a good butcher too.
Very nice site. Site open all year we had a super pitch but the owners did not think to insulate pipes to taps so although we took steps to insulate our equipment we still lost use of water for three days.
Fixed it ourselves by insulating their tap for them.
As you would expect for this time of year site very quite.
Toilet block very good , very warm with underfloor heating.
BUT cleaning was rare which let the whole experience down a bit.
Very clean and tidy site with good access to local town facilities. We had a 'normal' pitch with EHU and found that it did not take much to 'trip out' the power. We could also not get a TV signal, even with our digital TV, though this may be because our pitch was up against a very high, thick hedge and the tv aerial did not reach above it. Our grass/hardstanding pitch was of a good size for our needs, however the 'superpitches' were all on hardstanding and gave the impression of a large car park. They were also rather expensive. The toilet blocks and laundry facilities were excellent. Staff were very good and friendly.
We did not like Grantown on Spey, it was run down and the large hotel in the centre was like Gods waiting room. We did however, have a lovely meal at the smaller hotel in the town (even though it has a very strong smell of damp).
