Mick, Ali, Titus and Cosmo Stott, Percy the Clumber puppy, our fold of pedigree highland cattle, visiting family and friends all welcome you to our home at any time.
Our brand new Eriba Touring Triton 430GT (4.16x 1.90m int) designed by an aeronautical engineer has been built almost unaltered since 1960 to the same design "It is again and again admired for the size of its interior layouts unexpectedly larger than the deceptively compact exterior would suggest,having all the necessities for comfortable living, contained in a compact and functional unit" Use all the same facilities as our campers but stay here warm,dry and midge free!
A small friendly and very quiet lochshore site for a maximum of 12 tents only but usually fewer (and 3 caravans with prior booking essential). All facilities are spotless and of very high quality using local materials and are shared with the bothy which is used as a social / eating area and games room when not booked on a sole use basis, allowing a welcome retreat from the sun or rain. Parking is next to your pitch which is surrounded by meadow, orchids and often visited by deer.
Please note although we now have electricity in the buildings and plenty of hot water we have no hard standings or a septic tank emptying point - as we believe this would spoil the atmosphere on the site, but we now have hook-ups if required. We may be able to help if required however in quiet times if you ask. Advance booking recommended in July and August.
Though rarely a bad problem here due to coastal breeze in 2004 we placed a Midgebuster on the site with effect, for the benefit of our guests.
Water
No mains water exists here but a tasty and pure, sometimes peaty coloured, filtered and treated hill supply is piped into the buildings for your enjoyment and tested regularly. It may freeze occasionally in hard winters or be in short supply in hot summers but that's life here.
Electricity
Electricity too only arrived here in 2002 and is optional for those preferring gas lights and peat fires which are still used predominantly in all our accommodation. Many crofts on the peninsular still use wind and water to generate power. TV signals are poor although satellite TV is provided in our Croft House and radio signals can be received.
Telephone
A public telephone is located by the Bothy (01854 633210) and a private phone installed in the cottage (01854 633302) for guests use programmed for incoming and 999 calls only but an outgoing service can be supplied on request. Mobile phones have reached us however and we have 3 transmitters in the valley providing an essential safety service for hill walkers and motorists in winter.
