As with all places you get good and bad reviews this site seemed a bit of a mixed bag, so decided to give it a go. Booking was easily done online, website was really easy to navigate around. We like to have a fully serviced pitch where possible so was glad to see that pitches were available for our dates. We knew in advance that there’s a strict 2pm entry, so wasn’t an issue. The park was very well sign posted from the main roads, on arrival the grounds were pristine leading up to the park. It’s a single road from the main road up to the park, there’s lots of passing places. Arrived at Reception to very friendly staff, our pitch was mapped out for us, and the signage is helpful to find your pitch. When we found our pitch I will say I was a bit disappointed, I had to check it was a fully serviced pitch which it was, it was a basic gravel pitch, bit unkept and I had to unblock the drain so our water would go down, this clearly had not been done for a while. The most un-level pitch I’ve ever come across, word of warning if you’re in a camper/ motorhome make sure you have levelling blocks with you. There was a toilet /shower block 3 mins walk away which was handy, bit outdated but it was clean and that’s the main thing. I do feel the pitches are quite close together and if most people put awnings up you would definitely feel hemmed in, especially when the park is full. |There’s a lovely restaurant and bar on site, drank and ate there would definitely recommend and very reasonably priced too, it is open to non residents so booking a table in advance is recommended. There’s also a small shop on site which is access through reception. |There’s a bus stop on the main road opposite the garden centre which takes you to Edinburgh £5 for a day ticket which is really good value and the buses are about every 12 mins, journey time varies depending on the traffic anything from 20 mins to around 45mins. It’s a good 5/10 min walk from the park to the main road, its a bit of a stretch if you have any walking or breathing issues, a few stops maybe required along the way.|The site is great base for Edinburgh and touring the East Coast, staff are friendly and welcoming. I would recommend the site especially for the proximity to Edinburgh. Would I return to this site, I’m not sure,If I was to return I wouldn’t pay the extra for a fully serviced pitch, I’d just have a pitch with hook up.
