Riverside Chalet and Caravan Park Reviews

Peaceful

Was lovely and peaceful after a long drive.

Nice place for a break

Clean, friendly campsite in a wonderful location. Will stay again and for longer.

Lovely campsite

A beautiful wee spot by the river. The hosts were lovely and welcoming. Close to great trails for hiking and running. The local chip shop was excellent too!

Lovely location

Lovely location by the river - just up the road is Strathpeffer, beautiful town & surrounding hills, if you fancy a walk. Met owner on arrival at campsite, very helpful, as was Julie (who was living on-site, but about to move-on). Small shop just outside site was very convenient and seemed to sell everything. With facilities, it's all about personal taste. Toilet block was a very old building. Showers give a plentiful supply of 'free' hot water, with no need to continually push the on button, but the ladies' showers opened-up directly onto campsite with only an ill-fitting door protecting your privacy. Appreciate this might not bother some, but for us, would prevent a return back.

Site's response

Thanks for your review. To be honest, nobody has actually mentioned your concern about privacy, and we have no reported incidents of peoples privacy being compromised. All the doors lock from the inside as you would expect and you would have to work quite hard to force the door open when someone is inside. We do make incremental improvements to the site each year and one of those improvements will be the doors.

Superb

Our first campsite and we were delighted. The owner was exceptionally helpful. Our caravan was near the river and was lovely and quiet. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Great site.

Great place to stay, I will return.

Quiet, peaceful and clean facilities

Quiet, peaceful, enjoyed a beer by the river.

Ideal

Used as a base for hill walking. Ideal site for those content with good solid amenities, without any bells and whistles. A great welcome from the site owners. The site is well-maintained and very very quiet, all you hear is the sounds of the birds and the flow of the river.

Beautiful setting

Would definitely recommend this site. The owners were there to greet you. Offered us a choice of pitch (subject to availability). Lovely setting quiet & peaceful.

Compact and peaceful

Quaint riverside location, peaceful and restful with convenient services. Convenient as a staging post for further exploration.

Five stars

The site is situated next to a river bank which only added to the quiet site. Facilities were good and there is a local shop just outside the gates if you need anything. The site is secure with a code so you have no worries of anyone getting in. The only disappointment was the weather, otherwise I would recommend this site for anyone visiting Scotland.

Many thanks for your welcome review. Hope to see you again sometime.

Lovely spot!!

Used this site as a stop over prior to Ullapool to catch the ferry. Small, but had everything we needed and was clean and very pleasant. Would certainly recommend.

Excellent site

Stayed on this site for one night but intend to revisit in the future as enjoyed a relaxing stay.

Nice clean campsite

We stayed here for two nights in our campervan. It was nice and quiet. The park is quite basic, but we knew that before we booked after reading the reviews. The toilets were kept very clean and tidy. Clare was very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. She advised us of nice places to visit and she looked after the guests.

First timers

The site is in a fantastic location for sightseeing, walking, biking or just relaxing. Reception and greeting was good. On arrival we were only the second on site, though it soon filled up. Facilities, though basic, were adequate, and work was been carried out to improve them. Those on a budget would be fine. The nearest eating place/hotel is very smart, and the prices reflect that, though the owners welcome everyone. The food was excellent. We would certainly go to the site again.

Riverside campsite

Absolutely beautiful location beside the Blackwater river. Very peaceful. Good quiet cycling over to Strathpeffer. There is also quiet cycling around the glen through Marybank.
