Glenbuchty Stopover Motorhome Aire

Понравилось: Is what it is…. a stop over for £5. Excellent value and ideal on travels on a budget. Water and recycling bins. No waste bin though. For an extra £5 can empty black tank. Views of the sea stoop up top or on the private shore. Seals about. Birds etc. Hosts both very friendly and most helpful.

Не понравилось: Road noise was awful. View sat out.

От менеджера: Thanks for staying and I’m glad you found us excellent value. I’m sorry we can’t provide a normal waste bin but this would add a large charge for us annually meaning we could no longer offer a £5 stopover making us unviable. I believe as someone with connections to a campsite yourself you should understand that. With recycling bins provided for food, plastic, tins, cans, paper, cardboard and glass and a dog waste bin just 100 yards from the site I think most rubbish is catered for. We are located beside a B road, which makes access to us easy and the noise dies down overnight. You did choose to sit out by your van (all pitches do have a sea view unlike your review suggests) as it was lovely weather although is not the intention of our site as a basic Aire which is not designed for camping behaviour. However perhaps if you had made use of the seating areas we provide above and beyond basic Aire facilities on our headland or in the garden, you could have had a lovely view and been away from the road.

Понравилось: Great hosts and great location!

От менеджера: Glad you found us friendly and our information was useful. Sorry there’s no general waste bins - these are not listed as facilities to expect. We clearly advertise that we provide recycling bins( we are keen to help the environment and lighten your load as best as we can). Unfortunately if we added general waste we would not be able to maintain our fantastic £5 a night fee due to waste removal charges.

Понравилось: Very friendly welcome, good location just outside town

Понравилось: First I'd like to say the owners are delightful and make you very welcome. We stayed for 4 nights and found no problems whatsoever. It's a good base for touring and a safe overnight park up. I've read some previous reviews and God knows what they expected for a fiver, We have stayed at similar stopovers that have cost £15 and £20 so this is a bargain. I would recommend this stopover to anyone, to save disappointment, read what's on the tin first. Good luck to the owners, no doubt we will see you again

Не понравилось: Nothing.

Понравилось: Lovely people, very knowledgeable about the area.

Не понравилось: Sadly not as described. There was a main road adjacent to the aire, with constant 24 hr noise and vehicles travelling at speed. CDP was very basic. no tap for rinsing out, just a 2 ltr plastic bottle of water. Sadly not what we were expecting from a Campra accredited Aire

От менеджера: We are described as a basic stopover and clearly by a road as our address in on the B9031. This is a B road, not a ‘main’ road and the traffic is certainly not 24 hours continuous as we are in fairly remote NE Scotland. However, there is traffic noise which is one reason why we charge just £5 a van for an overnight stopover providing you with a legal and insured place to stay, providing water and recycling facilities and a gorgeous sea view. The CDP is not part of the facilities advertised on PitchUp. You chose to make use of this during your stay. As we are not on mains sewerage, being in a remote location, our CDP is a small tank to help prevent dirty Motorhoming by providing a waste point for guests and drop in users. The tank costs a large amount to be emptied and our charge per use is at cost, nonprofit. As such if a hose is used to swill out the cassette, double the liquid is added, meaning it is actually costing us for you to empty your cassette. Therefore we provide a small container to allow a reasonable rinse, which is also far more eco friendly rather than wasting water rinsing unnecessarily, and this is kept separate from any drinking water to avoid contamination. We have been visited by CAMpRA and they praise us for the efforts we make to help promote responsible motorhoming and we’re awarded the CAMpRA Aire of the Year last year. I’d suggest it sounds like basic facilities are not for you and perhaps a campsite with full facilities and higher prices would suit your needs far better. I’m sorry that at £5 for your stay we didn’t live up to your expectations. I’m also sorry you felt the need to write this as your review rather than speak to us at the time as we would have been happy to help where we could.

Понравилось: Owners very friendly and accommodating. Happy to re-freeze our ice blocks.

Не понравилось: Right next to main road.

От менеджера: We are sorry to hear you didn't like our location that is convenient to the local town, with sea views and its own piece of headland looking over a seal colony. We are a roadside stopover so unfortunately yes we are beside a road, but the traffic quietens overnight. A simple check of our location before booking would have shown you this. We are sad that our service was only 6/10 for an Aire - i.e. overnight parking not a campsite - despite us going beyond the norm and freezing your ice blocks and allowing you to run a generator against our usual policy for a couple of minutes so you could microwave your tea, and spending our time giving you a friendly welcome to the area. We are an Aire for self-contained motorhomes & campervans. Therefore we do not offer campsite facilities like toilets and showers and this is clear in our description. We do offer the essentials of water, plus recycling bins and if needed cassette waste emptying, which unlike most sites we do not roll into our nightly charge as standard. We've added seating areas and a firepit so find your 4/10 for facilities unfair. I will ensure I polish the gravel in future since you have marked us down on cleanliness and we are a hardstanding parking area. Value for money - we charge £5 a night per van for a safe, legal place to park, where you can recycle your rubbish and fill up with water. I struggle to see how you think that is only worth 4/10. Good luck on finding better value. Safe travels
