Walking around the site
Beautiful park
Plenty of space around pitches.

  • Dog-friendly 50-acre site in the grounds of a Georgian mansion
  • Spectacular views towards the Venlaw hills
  • On the edge of Peebles and near the river Tweed
Peeps and their pooches – you should come to Rosetta Holiday Park. As it's a sure bet you'll find something to feast your eyes on round these parts, whether that’s the 50 miles of mountain bike trails at Glentress Forest or piles of lovely wares in town… Peebles has lots of artsy attractions and several festivals. Nearby, the river Tweed is internationally famous for salmon fishing too: the Peebles town motto and crest even has three salmon a-leaping up the water. All in all, rather fab. Right on the edge of Peebles, Rosetta Holiday Park is an attentively manicured site which welcomes families and dogs. It's set over 50 acres with spectacular views towards the Venlaw Hills, so it's a feast for your eyes.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: The staff were friendly And helpfully

Disliked: Our pitch wasn’t level and the noise from the road was all night long and unbearable. I would never stay there again

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: You turned up late and then with lots of pitches to chose from, you picked your own, There are plenty of flat pitches and you chose one that was up on a sloped area. We don't have many people who complain about the noise for the road, It is a quiet street road that is usually quiet, The warden stays on the touring area and it has never been an issue. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about external noises, But a two is so unfair when you picked your own pitch out of over 50 vacant ones.

Liked the peaceful surroundings…

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Area was good.

Disliked: Ground was quite wet. Some pitches closed. Felt toilets could have been cleaner. Reception handover rushed could have had more detail.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Our grounds are grass, which is advertised, As we explained when you checked in, We have had a lot of rain and take pitches off when there is a chance that guests will get stuck. Given that we have over 80 pitches and only have a maximum number of guests at a time, There has never been an issue with closed pitches. Our toilets are very clean as you can see from other reviews. The buildings are old but have everything you need. The check in procedure is the same for all our guests, We go through the welcome sheet with you, Show you on the map where everything is, Give you a list of phone numbers that you may need and ask if you are happy with everything there is a display stand with all the local area and beyond attractions. There is not really much more detail to give.

Great site.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Location and Staff friendly

Disliked: Far too many rules and regulations. Toilets badly needing upgrade they are bad.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Our toilet blocks are dated, Not 'bad' as you say, They are very clean and warm, the showers have lots of hot water and have everything needed from a shower block. The only rules we have are necessary, for the enjoyment of all our guests, There are not many rules, The only rule we have that affected you, Was the 'no tents' of any description. We allow awnings that must attach to the unit. We do not allow dogs or bikes in the amenity blocks and due to past incidents, No footballs allowed. We do not feel that our rules are excessive. We are sorry you couldn't have your tent up, But rules are rules.

Local attractions

One of the many highlights of the Scottish Borders is that, while the region is rightly popular with savvy holidaymakers, it remains off the mass tourist track so you can gleefully pursue your pastimes without areas becoming overcrowded. Fishing is one of the most popular pursuits in the area is because of Peebles’ proximity to the River Tweed, on the top scale of salmon fishing rivers in the world. Go out on your own with your rod licence or bag a trip/course from one of the many local angling centres nearby; the Tweed and its tributaries yield wild trout and grayling too. Elsewhere in the area, anglers have acres of lochs for coarse fishing and the Berwickshire coast nearby for sea angling – and views – off Eyemouth, Burmouth and St Abbs. The mountain bike trails of Glentress Forest, three miles away, are another big draw for active visitors – the Tweed Bike Festival is held here in May and June and Glentress/Innerleithen are part of the world famous 7stanes mountain biking trails. The award-winning centre at Glentress has trails of all grades and a most modern visitor centre with bike wash, bike hire and a bike shop. The Tweed Love Bike Festival is held at Peebles in early summer, but if you miss it/aren’t a mountain biker, several other festivals cover several other tastes such as arts, jazz, food, Highland Games, Rugby Sevens and the traditional week-long Beltane Festival. Dramatic highlights like shows at the Eastgate can be had at any time of the year, as can sampling fresh local produce in the town’s hotels and restaurants, park and river walks by the Tweed and the prerequisite till-ringing at the Old Town and School Brae. As well as Peebles, the Borders has plenty of other characterful towns to seek out such as Selkirk, Jedburgh, Galashiels and the Borders’ biggest town Hawick; those looking for even brighter lights can make their way to Edinburgh, just 20 miles away.
