    Good place to do washing we managed to get 5 days worth of washing and our bed sheets in the 8kg washer for £5 then explored Smoo Cave while the cycle was on, came back and had a coffee while it was in the dryer. Card payment was unavailable so bring cash!

  • 1/5

    Touch screen to select wash cycle not working so unable to use

    reiner Parkplatz, an dem man aber übernacht stehen darf, sehr netter Betreiber, bei dem man mit Karte bezahlen kann, 14 Pfund über Nacht, der Automat am Platz nimmt nur Cash, 5 min. zu Fuss zur Smoo Cave, sehr guter Internetempfang an der Stelle, brutal windig, ständiger Betrieb wegen der Wäscherei am Platz bis weit in die Nacht, keine V/E, kein Strom, für die Durchreise ok, mehr aber auch nicht

    Great parking and laundry. Card doesn’t work for the laundry, only cash (coins and notes) : machine doesn’t give change. 5£ for normal load + 3£ dryer > almost completely dry after.

  • 1/5

    Cash only No change given

    Perfect spot for visiting Durness & Smoothie Caves. We parked in the evening after parking & using the golf club further down, visited the caves early the next morning. Couldn’t use card payment so left £10 for overnight in the box & paid an extra couple of hours in the morning. Nice level spots & bonus washing machines. Were surprised we were stopped with only one other van overnight, great spot!

    Arrêt idéal pour lancer une machine le temps de visiter les grottes. Vous avez également la possibilité de remplir vos cuves d’eau pour 5£. Pas d’inquiétude si vous n’avez pas de monnaie, le monsieur qui tient le stand vous en fera. Il est adorable !

    Good spot. We were the only ones there on 19/08/23 overnight. it was extremely windy. We made use of the toasty bar and the washing machines.

    Arrivés tôt le matin nous avons pu faire notre machine à laver aux automates. Lavage 45 minute programme 40 degrés 5£. Séchage 3£ les 15 minutes. Le parking est à 2£ le temps de faire les machines et de visiter les caves si ça vous dit. Le monsieur du parking est là pour vous faire la monnaie si besoin. Il est adorable. t.

    Haben hier für 14 Pfund 16 Stunden über Nacht gestanden, um zu waschen. Super netter Betreiber! Trockner brauchen 30 Minuten verry hot, sonst ist Wäsche feucht.

  • 4/5

    Fine spot. The washing machines only take coins eventhough there is a cardreader

  • 4/5

    we arrived quite early as wanted to see the smoo caves. Paid £14 for 14 hours, which took us to 8.30 the next morning, but when speaking to the owner he very kindly said we could stay til 10 for no extra charge. nice clean and quiet spot. No toilets on site, nearest ones 5min walk. Ate at the smoo caves hotel which is about a 20 min walk, good food at good price

    Nice to be able to use the machines but there’s a free car park just down the road.

  • 4/5

    Great spot, wee walk down to toilet at smoo cave car park, bit open to elements but quiet.

  • 5/5

    Washing maschine now takes notes as well!

    I really lucky to found one public washing machine on NC500 route. Everything was okay.

  • 2/5

    pleased to get laundry done but they are milking moneywise, everything comes with Poundsigns and not cheap. better to park up the road and walk to machines

  • 5/5

    ottimo posto per dormire e fare il bucato. Chris é stato gentilissimo e super disponibile. sosta super consigliata. notte passata in assoluto silenzio!

  • 2/5

    This is a great overnight stay next to the fantastic Smoo cave. Guy who owns the site was at hand to give change. Machine only takes cash and it's £1 an hour. He only charged us £15 for the whole night and upto 11am. Didn't use the washing machine but a great addition if you are a long haul route. Flat a level and he did offer water if we needed it.

    Great stopover to do laundry and visit the cave. Prices up a little from first photo, £10 for 18kg, £5 for 8 kg washers, dryer is £3 for 18kg. Notes or coins only, friendly staff on hand with change. Parking cost same as stated below. Food trucks on site too!

  • 5/5

    Excellent car park. Walked to Smoo caves from here after the washing was done!! 8k Washing machine and tumble dryers working fine. Only the 16k washing machine not working. Took coins but no card.

  • 1/5

    Laundry machines don't take coins anymore. System leaked some water so I assume it's broken. No one there and the number was not in use anymore. As a carpark still usefull but don't put your hopes on doing laundry.

  • 5/5

    Used these washers over Xmas period all in order but you need change

  • 5/5

    We stayed here last Wednesday night so we could vist smoo caves the next morning it cost us £14 that we thought was a bargain Great night sleep and a chance to do our washing . we felt very safe as there was another 7 campervans also using the carpark .

  • 4/5

    Nice level tarmac with great rolling views of the Durness area very peaceful at all times of the day. Public toilets are a 5 min walk down the hill and very clean also the Durness shop and petrol station is a 20 min walk the other way. p.s the washing machine/dryer was only accepting cash at the time as the card reader was faulty. Bring exact change as used a tenner for drying our clothes haha.

    Flat level parking lot with laundry facilities. Paid £14 for 16 hours parking overnight. Owner is a really nice guy. Toilets available at Smoo Cave about 2 mins walk away.

  • 5/5

    Great, we did the washing and washed the van too. 5*

  • 5/5

    Fantastic place, over night stay and a very level area, drinking water, laundry facilities toilets in walking distance (100m). The guy is brilliant, looked at the leak we had as well. Could ask for more! Thank you

  • 5/5

    Great place to stop for Laundry, Cheese Toasties and a walk around Smoo Cave. This place is a lot more established than it appears on Google Street view.

  • 4/5

    Awesome horse box toastie takeaway! Parking is £1 per hour, but you can put your laundry on while you kick back with a delicious snack and a drink. Also usb phone chargers available at a small cost. In theory you could stay overnight, but you still need to pay!
