Liked: Clean, warm shower and toilet facilities, friendly staff (John) and beautiful views
Disliked: Beach access- whilst the campsite overlooks a beautiful beach, it's a 15-20 min walk to a jetty at the far end of the beach before you can access the beach, all the land surrounding the campsite is private croft and there are no public paths

Liked: Clean, warm shower and toilet facilities. Good space to wash dishes and a fridge to store cold items. A washing machine was available at an additional cost but great they had one on offer. Site management were helpful and always on hand.
Disliked: Bathroom could benefit from a Hairdryer. Satnav takes you too a point just before site. additional site signage would be great.
