Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Position of pitch next to play park and close to amenities. Pitch was a good size, park was clean and well maintained. Food was good and well priced in restaurants and good entertainment for the children.
Disliked: Very loud neighbours, arguing until 3.00am, out on the grass of our pitch next to my children’s window screaming at each other and their children. Lots of machines out of order in the arcade, there was a few machines that were meant to be working, we put coins in and nothing happened, unable to find staff to report or get my children’s money back, same thing happened with the air hockey table again unable to find a staff member to help. Left very disappointed children.

Liked: The swimming pool was great for the kids. Dogs were allowed in one of the bars which was extremely helpful when the weather wasn’t particularly kind. We didn’t manage the entertainment but it looked like it was well attended and would have struggled to get a seat if we chose to go, which I took as a positive as obviously very good .
Disliked: Toilets could do with slight modernisation. We were on a pitch next to the play park , which was helpful for the kids , however our access was at times difficult due to a strange decision to have an extra central pitch in a tight area which seemed to have always been allocated to a motor home. Therefore if we needed to get out our space in an emergency overnight we would have to have chapped another caravan owners door to move their car to get out.

Liked: Great site in a good location to visit the area and also easy transport links to Edinburgh. Facilities clean. Entertainment complex a nice size so you are not in top of each other, we had takeaway pizza which was reasonably prized and we loved the bar had doggy beer and snacks 🥰🐾🍺
Disliked: Not the sites fault but the previous pitch occupiers where smokers and had emptied their ash tray over the grass of our pitch. The shop on site (Nisa Local) is very expensive so if you need supplies I would go the couple miles down the road to the ASDA

Liked: Lovely clean site, easy to get around, water taps handy. Shower block was clean, lots of hot water. Nice restaurant and bar close to touring pitches. Highly recommend the kids club activities, full of energy.
Disliked: Having to pay extra for swim, felt this should be included. Steps/slope down to waste water disposal was difficult with full tank. Toilet block not that clean but did put this down to fact that it was school holidays and lots of kids around.
