Bills itself as a peaceful, quiet site and it is, overnight. Really lovely and quiet. However, it’s next door to the sawmill and therefore less than peaceful during the day. If you like to be out and about between 9 and 4 then it’s excellent; if sitting by your unit enjoying the day at camp is what you prefer you might’ve better off up the road at Faskally. invermillfarm.com We loved it. You can walk to Dunkeld (1 mile, easy riverside path) where there’s pubs, restaurants and bus stops to get to Perth. Or you can walk 10mins the other way and into the woods by The Hermitage, a NTS site with loads of paths and sights. We also walked through Dunkeld and on to the Loch of the Lowes, renowned for its breeding ospreys, where there’s a Scottish Wildlife Trust centre.

Well run, clean, and direct access to the riverbank. Most folks kept to the 10.30pm to 7.30am curfew and it was better managed than many commercial sites we've stayed at.

Really appreciated the comfort after long days and a lot of climbing up and down the hill (edge of the South Downs near Winchester)
RunningRonnie Aug 2023 8:33am, 18 Aug 2023 2,729 posts	0 RunningRonnie Went to Broadford in Skye just over a week ago. Nice site. Quiet and modern. Not much character about the place yet and too much gravel for my liking, but it's still quite a new site. The toilet and shower facilities are very clean and up to date. Walking distance to a large Coop and some restaurants/bars. Nice walks straight from the site. Skye itself was bonkers though. Unbelievably busy and the standard of driving was shockingly bad. Folk driving at 25 mph in a 60 limit would just stop without warning to take a photo of a waterfall, for example.

We used it as a base for five nights as we wanted time to relax. I do agree with your comments, the facilities were excellent and we had a nice time. That's my first ever visit to Skye and I don't think I 'need' to go back.
