    Perfect night stay before stocking up in Inverness and heading north. We did not hear much noise from the road during the night, only a van which pulled up after 1am. Would stay again!

  • 5/5

    Great place to stop a little traffic noise just off the main road close to Inverness and the start of the NC500

  • 5/5

    Good stop off for the way to start NC500. We slept fine and traffic was really minimal after 11pm. It was a Sunday. Would stay again. Please take all rubbish with you!

  • 5/5

    We love this little gem. Plenty of space, no overnight restrictions, plenty of walks to explore the nearby woods.. Road noise isn't really an issue, and there's plenty of bins and a cafe on site... Good phone signal..

  • 5/5

    Stay there on the night of Feb 22nd. Great spot to park overnight for free! Plenty of space, quite at night and great coffee shop and trail for the morning !

  • 4/5

    stayed here in Dec - lovely spot. small amount of noise from the road but really not an issue. Good stop off before Inverness. Cafe is nice but expensive.

  • 5/5

    Aire de stationnement dans une forêt, à proximité de la voie rapide mais peu de bruit car nous avons pu avoir une place à distance de la route. Promenade dans la forêt et apéro sur l’aire de pique-nique en fin de journée. Il y a un café disponible juste à côté qui ouvre aux alentours de 9h.

  • 4/5

    Good spot when making your way south. Woodland walk and quite pretty. Cafe is top notch, and open from 9am, perfect for a coffee and to use the toilets there. Noise from A9 but nothing too drastic during the night.

  • 4/5

    This was a last resort spot for us, but it was actually better than expected. The forest walk is great with lots of wildlife, so decent for dog walks. M The cafe does really good coffee and you can use their loos from 9am to 5pm. Yes you can hear the road, but ear plugs will sort that right out.

  • 2/5

    Dépanne mais vraiment pas incroyable. Juste à côté de l'autoroute donc très bruyant. Le point positif est la jolie forêt où vous pouvez vous balader.

  • 3/5

    Llegamos cuando el café estaba cerrado. No hay servicios. Hay movimiento de coches de gente que va a pasear, pero la noche fue tranquila.

  • 5/5

    Very busy with cars early as its a fitness trail and cafe so would suggest limiting number of campers to 3 or 4 to not spoil this site. there are toilets open when cafe is open for customers but I observed toilet paper in the surrounding woods which is totally unacceptable. we have a loo onboard but if you don't, bag it and bin it. plenty bins.

  • 4/5

    Good overnight stop, close to Inverness. It’s just off the A9 but we weren’t bothered by the traffic noise. 5 other vans here on a Friday night. We had breakfast at the cafe, open 7 days, 9-5. Toilets for cafe users only.

  • 3/5

    Aire de pique-nique, avec tables et poubelles, malgré la proximité de la voie rapide, nous y avons passé la nuit, pas de problème de bruits routiers. Belle balade possible en forêt. Un petit café vient d'ouvrir. Bon Trip à Tous !!

  • 5/5

    super buen sitio para dormir, la A9 es tranquila durante la noche y no nos impidió (para nada) dormir. cuando llegamos no había más campers/autocaravanas, pero nos despertamos con 3 más que también habían pasado la noche. está al lado de un pinar encantador

  • 5/5

    Perfect for a stop over on the A9. Road noise is ok, parking bays are plentiful and pretty level. Nice cafe in the car park and nice walks through the woods. Plenty of people walking dogs and only 5 mins from Inverness, an hour or so from Ullapool so ideal if you’re catching a ferry.

  • 5/5

    Bel endroit avec un café - bar - petit déjeuner - brunch. Promenade de chiens jusque 22:00 mais après endroit calme. La circulation à partir de 23:00 se calme sur la A9. Balade possible à partir du parking. Avons vu des daims et des écureuils.

  • 5/5

    This has been my favourite spot I've ever stayed in. Originally just planned to spend the afternoon here, but I ended staying 2 nights! The shade from the trees cools the van down in the recent heat, the ground is level, the woodland walk is very pleasant, Cafe has lovely staff and good coffee... only down side was the shade wasn't good for solar but moving to the Cafe side fixed that. 100/10!

  • 5/5

    Felt safe and very handy stop over, plenty of space. It is quite noisy as is parallel to A9 but we slept fine. Cafe with toilets open during the day. 5km trail route in the woods so great stop over with dogs. Lots of locals coming and going to walk dogs, but all seemed happy about us being there.

  • 5/5

    Very nice place to spend a night! Lots of spaces which are far apart in the forest. Did not hear the motorway to much. Beautiful walking paths starting from the parking.

  • 5/5

    Je confirme, au bord de la voie rapide, mais cela ne nous a pas empêché de passer une super nuit car la nuit la route est calme!

  • 5/5

    A very nice, quiet spot. Plenty of space, we felt it was far enough from the road for the noise not to bother us. We did not stay long enough to use any of the facilities but it was ideal for an overnight stopover.

  • 5/5

    Lovely little car park, tucked away in the woods, coffee shop and car park during the day (9-5) plenty of bins, lots of dog walkers, a lovely spot!

  • 5/5

    Great park up in the woodland car park. Arrived late at night and just one other camper parked up. Bins and benches to use and a cafe at the entrance. Road noise from A9 but quiet overnight. A few dog walkers, runners and walkers parked up in the morning. Would recommend!

  • 5/5

    Nice woodland area off the busy road with a cafe and toilets open in the day. Is some road noise but apart from that a decent safe spot for the night.

  • 5/5

    Great stop.. yeah .. bit if road noise.. but not enough to worry about. Very safe feel. Few other vans and dog walkers.

  • 5/5

    Genial estancia. muy tranquilo por la noche y por la mañana puedes hacer la ruta que, sobre todo el principio, es ideal. la cafetería está cerrada de noche pero de día puedes usar sus aseos si eres cliente.

  • 5/5

    Es el parking de un bosque donde pasean perros, pero se puede pasar la noche aquí. Hay un café que abre a las 9am y es excelente además tiene baños muy limpios que pueden usarse siempre y cuando consumas algo allí (lo cual es lógico). Se escucha un poco la carretera pero nada que moleste. Es mejor para campers/vans que para motorhomes

  • 4/5

    Aparcamiento en zona de rutitas de paseo por el bosque, cafetería al lado, aunque aquí cierran todo prontísimo. Perfecto para acercarse a Inverness temprano. El ruido de la carretera fue casi constante, y a las 5am ya empezó a ser más intenso. Supongo que en verano será menos

  • 4/5

    Super place to park up for a night next to the forest and café. Next to the road. Felt safe and we were joined by a few other campers.

  • 5/5

    Brilliant park up, convienent location, lovely surroundings, had a lovely run this morning, felt very safe. Arrived at 7pm and left at 12 next day. other vans around. Great for dogs. some road noise but minor. Great cafe with toilets for customers when it's open. Would recommend.

  • 4/5

    Parking en bordure de forêt et de route, ok pour 2 camping car. Calme et nature. Pas mal de joggeurs et de cyclistes. Globalement plat

  • 3/5

    El lugar es bonito, con zona de pícnic y además puedes hacer una pequeña ruta circular por un sendero cercano. Algo de ruido por la noche al estar tan cerca la carretera, pero por lo general tranquilos.

  • 5/5

    super coin nous y sommes restés 2 nuits c'était vraiment bien avec la forêt attenante, nous avons pu manger le matin et le soir au petit café attenant, il y a même des prises électrique si vous voulez travailler ou recharger vos appareils (n'hésitez pas à demander aux serveuses avant c'est toujours bienvenu ) les toilettes sont irréprochables

  • 3/5

    Parking en forêt mais très près de la route. La nuit n’était pas très calme.

  • 5/5

    Prima overnachtingsplek. Er stonden zo’n 10 campers met ons. Mogelijkheid voor wandeling in de avond of ochtend. Prullenbakken. Cafe met toilet en ontbijtmogelijkheden. Je hoort de a9 als je er op let, maar stoort totaal niet tijdens de nacht.

  • 5/5

    Un bosque perfecto para pernoctar. Cerca de la carretera pero con muy poco ruido durante la noche. Tranquilo y con una cafetería muy acogedora. Senderos para pasear.

  • 5/5

    Easily accessible and found plenty of space to park. Traffic from A9 can be heard, but was quiet during the night. Nice walk through the woods and surrounding areas. Cafe was reasonably priced and lovely to visit. Toilets available.

  • 4/5

    No midges. Nice and quiet, except for traffic noise. Nice 5 km circuitwalk through the woods. Cafe looks nice - but we didn’t visit. Toilets only accessible as a cafe patron.

  • 5/5

    Lovely park up. Level and good signal on EE. No services but there are bins dotted around. There are footpaths through the woods, so perfect for walking our dog. The A road is pretty close to the car park but the noise didn’t keep us awake.

  • 4/5

    Nous entendons un peu le bruit de la route mais le parking est très bien entretenu et à quelques minutes d'Inverness. Les toilettes sont accessibles seulement pour les clients qui consomment au café (ouvert 7j/7 et de 9h à 17h)

  • 5/5

    Awesome. Level. Free. Wooded. Lovely spot. Yes, there's the traffic noise, but there's also rain because it's Scotland.

  • 5/5

    Great spot. A few campers here, along with some walkers/cyclists. Plenty of space. Parking is at the entrance to a 5k walk trail, all flat through a gorgeous forest, suitable for wheelchairs/prams/disabilities There are free public toilets, next door to the cafe. Both buildings open 9am-5pm every day. Yes you can hear the road traffic, but like others say, it certainly doesn't cause an issue. 4G

  • 5/5

    10/05/22 - Nice spot tucked away off the A9 in woodlands. Flat spots spacious with picnic benches and bins. Can hear the road as it isn’t far away. Stayed two nights no problems

  • 5/5

    Spent a relatively quiet night here despite being close to the A9. Lots of level parking spaces with room for larger vehicles. Only accessible from the northbound dual carriageway, just before the city of Inverness.

  • 4/5

    bien plat, calme la nuit car moins de trafic sur la grand route. En dessous des arbres donc attention pas de rendement solaire....

  • 5/5

    Great spot, road noise not too bad. Few cars when we came and some more in the morning but plenty of space for our motorhome and everyone else. Stayed 1 night as a stopover.

  • 5/5

    stayed here for 1 night. free parking, no height restrictions, I would day between 20-30 spaces. plenty of room for a L4 citreon relay. 4G all night.

  • 5/5

    Excellent spot, parked up for one night no problems. Lots of space and feels secluded. Nice atmosphere with tall trees and nature trail. Lots of dog walkers around but gets quieter at night. Few other campers parking up to but lots of space so you feel alone. Bins provided and there’s a 5k hiking trail. Not sure how busy it gets on weekends or summer, can imagine it fills up.

  • 4/5

    Lots of parks, not much road noise, bins - good stop if in need of a stopover around Inverness. Do get some morning and evening dog walkers and runners
