Liked: We were here with our campervan for our second visit, we absolutely love it here. So peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Right next to a woodland walk, you can fish on the pond or just watch all the ducks and wildlife like I did! The cafe served the best coffee and cakes (I didn't try the menu, but I will next time). As I was informed on arrival, the shower block is a bit dated but it was spotless and the shower was powerful and hot. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

From the manager: What a lovely review and was great to have you back again, glad you enjoyed your stay and see you again soon!
Staff was friendly and helpful

Liked: Pitches and location fantastic. We have 2 dogs and the walking is very accessible with gorgeous walks along the river with impressive gorge and through mature beech woodland. Staff very friendly and cafe on site was excellent
Disliked: Toilet and shower block and dishwashing area. Clearly done a huge amount of improvement work on the grounds but site a bit let firm by the facilities.

Liked: Quiet and peaceful site. For two nights we were the only tourer there. Edzell is a lovely little village and there is plenty to do & see in the area. The chap who met us was friendly and helpful.
Disliked: The toilet/shower block is in need of modernising and the gravel pitches were not free from rubbish; old tea bags, bits of plastic etc. It just needs a thorough 'litter pick'.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: thankyou for taking the time to review . we had a walk round as soon as we saw your review and couldn't find any teabags, the "bits of plastic " i think were made by the kids and planted as flowers but we couldn't find them anymore either " we have noted on website toilet block needs modernised and we agree with you! we do endeavour to keep it fresh and clean.

Liked: Site was convenient for visiting friends and family
Disliked: Appreciative of the fact that the site had been badly damaged in a storm, and although a lot of work had been carried out is was a shame that the owners had not thought to spend a little money on the toilet/shower facilities that were badly in need of refurbishment. As a regular traveller one of important things when choosing a site is the facilities.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thankyou for taking the time to leave a review. as below we make it clear before booking on the website. we do endeavour to keep them to a high standard of cleanliness "Facilities We have a toilet and shower block near the fishing pond. The building is older and will require upgrading in the future, please be aware of this when booking, we do endeavour to keep a high standard of hygiene and cleanliness."
Excellent Stay
