Date of Visit: July 2015 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Donna g 5 reviews from this member

 Had a wonderful stay at this site. Site had all the facilities needed to make for a very enjoyable stay. The site is well kept and tidy. Toilets and showers are spotlessly clean. Owner made us feel very welcome upon arrival. Catering caravan is a must, beautiful freshly made cakes, daily. We will be back

 Others have said it and I would agree, this is a gem of a site. Fabulous position on the RSPB nature reserve and a beautiful clean and modern site. We didn't have the best of weather when we were there but that didn't matter. The showers were hot and plenty long enough for the £1 charge. The site is new and very well maintained. The little food wagon has lovely cakes and was well used by walkers and site attendees alike. The beautiful beach is just a few steps away from the site and the walk around the headland is sensational. St Kilda is visible on the walk. The site is also in a great position for touring North Uist. It's also extremely good value (£18 per night). I would definitely return and the lady who runs it is lovely.

Reviewer: Lady of the lakes 45 reviews from this member

 What a fantastic site! Small enough to be friendly, lovely clean and bright facilities, long showers in good sized cubicles (well worth the pound charge), fresh eggs for sale on site, warm indoor area with dishwashing sinks, books, leaflets, information board and a really big washing machine to cope with all the accumulated laundry - pity there was no tumble drier but, to be honest, the sprightly breeze up there dried our washing on the (provided) lines in next to no time! There is also a food van on site open for part of the day. The location is the type you dream of but think you will never find. Pop the dog on the lead and step through the gate - there are walks and beaches in abundance. The tour of the reserve not only offers a great variety of birds (including the elusive corncrake), but also sea views and rather splendid waves. Please do obey the request to keep the dog under control on the reserve; we were quite distressed to see a loose spaniel chasing the rare birds during our stay, and would suggest you give this one a miss if your dog is a Houdini. A truly lovely site and one which we will return to.

Reviewer: Highlander1967 4 reviews from this member

 The site was set in a beautiful nature reserve, the on site facilities were clean but basic and not enough toilets especially for the gents. The £1 charge for a shower was excessive as you are already charged £3 per night for electric, we are a family of 5 and over our two weeks stay this was expensive as we were in excess of £50 for the showers. There was a washing machine at £4 a wash but no tumble dryer which was a pain as the weather is very changable. There are no immediate shops, pubs or eateries in the area so be prepared with bread, milk etc. I would not say this is a family site, there is no provision made for children and if you have a phobia about dogs this is definitely not a site for you. The owner spends very little time on site and instructions are not clear with pitching when the office is closed. On the whole this site is a lot of money for very limited facilities

 Excellent site and facilities. Twitchers will love it but those of us who are less professional will also appreciate the area. A few steps and you are on the beach and plenty of walks around the headlands. I was fortunate to see 2 corncrakes at 5am one morning wandering past the van. A small payment is required for shower use but is perfectly satisfactory. The staff are friendly and very helpful. We will be back.

Date of Visit: May 2015 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Nigeljwatson 5 reviews from this member

 We loved this site. Friendly and helpful owner and an amazing position. The wind does blow a bit, but this is the Hebrides! The facilities are first rate, though I would prefer the cost of the showers included in my fee. It's annoying to get undressed and the have to come out of the shower to put more money in when you are wet. If you are a bird watcher then this is ideal. It is located at the centre of the RSPB reserve. If not there are good walks and cycle rides around the site. I would be back in a flash.

Reviewer: Camperkate 14 reviews from this member

 Spent another few nights on this nice little site, it's very well located for a walk on the nearby beach and for a longer walk around the nature reserve, everyone is very friendly and the facilities are immaculate, free wi-Fi very useful. The weather was not bad when we visited and although the washing machine did not have dryer component, the prevailing winds made sure everything dried despite the showers, there are no pubs or places to eat within walking distance, but facilities are a short drive away. Visit the local smokehouse for fantastic salmon and local Hebridean wool. North Uist is very beautiful with many lovely walks and fabulous deserted beaches and you should not miss a trip to Berneray 


Date of Visit: May 2015 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Grahamandsam 14 reviews from this member

 We loved this site for its location right in the heart of an RSPB reserve and right next to a beautiful beach.

It is exposed with little shelter, but our tent withstood the worst that the Hebrides could throw at it.

The facilities are good, housed in a clean modern building.

We would have rated facilities as a 10 if it had a drier, but to be fair the winds dry everything far more efficiently !

Like others have commented, you do have to pay for the showers, which is a small inconvenience but they are immaculate, hot and spacious.

The staff are friendly and helpful and this site was a real highlight of our Hebridean tour.

If you like your bird life this site is a must, with Golden Eagles and Corncrakes from the comfort of your pitch.

Reviewer: Gracesett 17 reviews from this member

 We loved this site and area - maybe because we were fortunate enough to watch 2 corn crakes wander behind the van very early one morning (5am). Lots to do and see if one enjoys sea, sand and RSPB all in one location. Facilities excellent despite the coin operated showers. Staff also excellent. Will visit again and stay longer.

Reviewer: Arniesdad 18 reviews from this member

 This site is very much one for 'Twitchers' and nature lovers as it is rather out on it's own and a bit exposed in bad weather. The pitches are level with EHU and both hard standing and grass areas. A very short stroll away is a spectacular sandy bay and the site is well placed for coastal walks. There is a small caravan open for snacks during the day. The facilities are modern and very clean but £1 for a few minutes shower?!
