Apologies Elliot.

Here’s all of the code that I’m using

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php if( get_field('site_cats') ): ?>
<div class="clearfix" id="site-cats">
<?php while( has_sub_field('site_cats') ): ?>
<div class="cat-block g_6 clearfix">
<div class="image">
<?php echo wp_get_attachment_image(get_sub_field('site_cat_image'), 'half-img'); ?>
</div>
<div class="details">
<h2><?php echo the_sub_field('site_cat_title'); ?></h2>
<p><?php echo the_sub_field('site_cat_description'); ?></p>
<p><?php echo the_sub_field('site_cat_link'); ?></p>

<?php
    $variable = get_sub_field('site_cat_link');
    $category_link = get_category_link( $variable );
?>
<a href="<?php echo esc_url( $category_link ); ?>" title=""><?php echo the_sub_field('site_cat_title'); ?></a>

</div>
</div>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

The three sub fields are working correctly i.e. title, description and link are all pulling in their fields but it’s when I then attempt to get the category ID from the site_cat_link field to then produce the category link that I’m having issues.

p.s. I use ACF in a lot of my projects now and would like to donate each time I use it – do you have such an option?
