Beautiful wee marina to park up and enjoy the tranquility and sunshine. Lovely walks, great play park, chippy and shops close by. Good for paddle boarding and kayaking. The caravan park is so chilled,friendly and relaxed. Enjoyed a smashing weekend soaking up the sun. Good facilities, showers and toilets, very clean and well maintained. Lots of wardens on hand to help,safe and secure. Great spot to chill.

We enjoyed our afternoon walk having been driving for three hours . The sun came out and we relaxed as we read the various information boards. I think there is room for more activities to be made available , for example , extending the path further around the Loch. Anyway still enjoyed it.
