Brilliant 15th Apr 2014 Brian_R (Mature couple, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Apr 2014 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: Only went for long weekend but had a great time. Site is spot on. Perfect for our two dogs with any amount of walks a stones throw away. Site owners are really friendly. Amazing to look out the caravan window and see pigs and shetland ponies being walked through the site! Even though there were quite a few children on the site, it was very peaceful and quiet. Disliked: Waste disposal point kept overflowing. Eventually I had to empty it in the chemical waste point. From the manager... Hello Brian Thank you for your lovely review. We have noted the problem you had with the waste disposal point and we are looking into it straight away. See you both soon Border Forest Park	Location Value for money Accommodation (No rating) Facilities/activities (No rating) Customer service Child friendliness (No rating) Cleanliness Overall 10 Share this review: Facebook Twitter Google Plus

Good facilities, nice quiet location 28th Jun 2013 Deni B. (Mature couple, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Jun 2013 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: The setting in the forest, the peace and quiet and the lay out of the site Disliked: No town close by, but that is sometimes the cost one has to pay for peace and quiet	Location Value for money Accommodation Facilities/activities Customer service Child friendliness (No rating) Cleanliness Overall 8 Share this review: Facebook Twitter Google Plus
Very friendly site which was very happy to take 4 dogs. 29th May 2013 wendy_k (Mature couple, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: May 2013 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: The site is set on the edge of the forest with good walking directly from the site. Pitches nicely set out with hard standings for motorhomes and a large grass field for campers The facilities are clean and tidy with a nice after thought of a fridge/freezer for use by campers. A burn running though the site offers a relaxing environment with an abundance of wildlife/birdlife We would certainly use this site again. Disliked: Our only dislike was that in the wet rooms there was no screen to protect your clothes from the shower spray, not a major problem but a small screen would be an advantage.
