Rosetta Holiday Park

Nice staff.Pitch...nice under trees.
Short walk into Peebles main street.

Showers were very poor ( in both blocks we tried).

Great site on edge of town. We enjoyed so much we are thinking of going back next year for longer. The town has so much to see and do that we never managed to get anywhere else. Staff very friendly. Toilet block clean.

We had to pay for our dog but the site over the way lets dogs go free.

Excellent location, close to the town. Good facilities and well looked after. Very pleasant staff. Lots of good walking from the site.

The pitches were a little too close to each other and could have been a little more level.

Good camping area.

Toilets.

Would definitely recommend

the location was good, we visited Edinburgh most days and it was a pretty easy drive to get there. When we had issues with one of the washing machines the park warden was quick to come up and help resolve the problem. At one point the play park was closed early, but after inquiring as to why we were told it was because some of the bolts were coming loose and the park was opened again the next day.
when we found our pitch was taken they were quick to give us another pitch so we could start to set up.
our kids went up to the games room to play pool, only to find out that there was no white ball and the tv was smashed, however once these problems were mentioned to staff they were quick to be resolved and the kids were able to play and were given a free game.
the park warden was good and friendly, however i can see why in previous reviews people have said they saw him intimidating as he is driving in a big pick up with know writing on it and doesn't wear a shirt with any logo, just a magnetic sign on the side of the truck and a shirt with a logo on it would mean that people wouldn't feel intimidated and would know who he was, it took us 3 days to work out he was the park warden.
i think that the site has a lot of potential with a bit of modernization and upgrades.

When we arrived we found that our pitch had been taken by someone that had arrived the night before and been moved because of someone in their pitch. we were then told to go to the bottom field and given a choice of 4 pitches, we chose to go for the one in the middle, it then started to rain as we were setting up and because of the shape of the land the water ran down the hill and made a small stream going through the center of our pitch. i wouldn't of thought it would take too much to get the water to flow a different way and go into the river with just a simple drainage ditch/gully.
As stated in some of the other reviews the toilet and wash facilities need to be updated, it was near impossible to was in the shower due to lack of pressure, we thought that the showers couldn't be too bad because it was mentioned that you get a lot of mountain bikers and walkers. on 2 occasions i went over to the toilet just after the cleaners had been and the toilet roll was still empty and the floor had obviously not been swept as there was still rubbish on the floor that i had noticed the previous day.
whilst we were there a couple of people left to go to a different site down the road that was £3 a night more but had more modern facilities (e.g. showers and washing facilities) the lack of stuff to do wasn't an issue as we were aware of that and intentionally chose somewhere with little on site.
the wifi didn't work once the entire time we were there

Staff were very friendly and position of site was very accessible lovely surroundings and close enough to walk to town

The pitch was no where near level and looking around not one pitch was level so made life difficult as no choks with us plus we had a drive away awning which made it quite difficult to line back up to ... the toilets and showers although work are in Need of an update and the bar needs to be bigger for the size of the site

Nice site in a quiet area.

Showers and toilets were not cleaned inside the 9 days we were there. I watched her clean if that's what you can call it she put toilet duck in the toilet then flushed but didn't clean them. The showers were not touched once and needed cleaning everytime I used them. The paper towels were empty on the Monday and then weren't filled up until the Thursday and ran out by the Friday morning and not filled up again by the time we left the following Tuesday. The floor was mopped once the whole time we were there.

A family turned up at 03.15am and pitched the tent and made loads of noise. Mentioned this the the warden and he said it was okay for this to happen and is very common for people to turn up after 2am and set up.

If a little bit of money was spent on the shower block and a new cleaner employed then I would give the site 100%.

The play park for the children, great location, 2 minutes from Peebles town centre, good sized tent pitches although not many electric pitches

Shower block- dirty, only 2 showers, not cleaned daily or restocked with paper

Kids enjoyed being near a stream. Grounds were clean.

On arrival we were told we had a good pitch. When we drove up to the pitch, the pitch boundaries were not marked at all, so the tent from next door was in the middle of two pitches. The ground was REALLY uneven and the remaining space was not enough to fit our tent on. We were then offered a pitch on the touring area. This was waterlogged with big tyre trenches where previous people had got stuck in the mud. We finally found an area that was just about dry enough to put our tent on.
The bathroom facilities were old, poorly decorated and dirty. They were more like something I would expect to see in a public park.
The shop displayed closing times of 9am - 5pm on the Saturday, yet when we went to use it at 4:30pm it was closed.
The pub does not allow dogs inside, which meant we had to sit in the courtyard which lacked any sort of atmosphere.
The site is located within a residential area with open access to the public and due to us being moved to the touring area we were within about 50-100m of local houses, so we didn't feel particularly secure leaving our belongings in a tent.
