"Fantastic location to use as a starting point for exploring the surrounding area. Despite some negative feedback regarding the amenities, it is worth noting that while they may be a bit outdated for a club site, they are meticulously maintained. The scenery from the site is unparalleled compared to any other club site. We are already looking forward to returning."

"Truly lovely location on the shore of a lake with beautiful walks nearby where you can catch a glimpse of red squirrels and a gentle waterfall. The staff were incredibly helpful and everything was spotless. While some reviews mentioned that the toilet facilities were a bit old-fashioned, I found them to be clean during my visit. I will certainly be coming back."

First of all Onich Beach (Highland) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable.
