Bonchester Bridge Riverside Park

Líbí se: It was a really nice site. The wardens were really welcoming. Showers were great really clean and warm. Next door was The Horse and Hound bar and restaurant. Very welcoming. Food was good and the locals all had a sing song at the end of the night. The instruments were hung on the wall and anyone was welcome to have a go. Great atmosphere. Would definitely stay there again.

Od správce: Hi. Thank you for your review. We really appreciate it.

Líbí se: Good facilities onsite, warden was friendly but appeared totally oblivious to the noise his barking dog was making, local pub with friendly staff and lovely food.

Nelíbí se: I had booked in for 2 nights, but unfortunately I left after only one night due to the wardens dog constantly barking. Every other visitor on the site also had dogs. Whenever someone walked past the wardens caravan which was next to the shower block his dog would bark, then all the other dogs on the site started barking... This would happen every 20-30 minutes ..The dog was quite as evening came, probably because it was inside the caravan, but at 6am the following morning the wardens dog started barking again, but none of the other dogs on site started barking. I would think it's the wardens job to set a good example, if he couldn't keep his dog quite it should never have been on site.. Would I stay here again...No, not if the wardens dog was onsite.. I would have had a totally different experience had the wardens dog not been there..

Od správce: Hi Gary. Sorry to hear about your recent experience at our campsite. We rotated our wardens during the weekend of your stay and can only imagine the distraction of the handover being the cause as we have had no other reports from other guests of the same issue during their stays. Nevertheless i'm sorry you had to endure the noise from the dog. I hope you give us another opportunity to enjoy our little campsite as the experience is not the norm and we pride ourselves on maintaining a peaceful and quiet environment.

Líbí se: Friendly welcome. Well tended toilet block. On-site facilities better than expected.

Nelíbí se: Clingy shower curtain. No shelves at sinks or in showers. Riverside pitch was below expectations, babbling brook had many field drains/septic tank outflows, water treatment plant just downstream of site. Laurel hedging recently planted between pitches had not been weeded, beware the nettles. The pub next to the site was convenient and attractive at first sight. Service was decidedly below par, food adequate at best. The Alsatian dogs at the pub were triggered to bark at any movement, which set off most other dogs within 500 yards. Finally, no Wi-Fi.

Od správce: Hi. Thank you for taking the time to review our campsite. There are hooks between each sink for towels etc and each shower has a wire basket shelf in each. The river doesn't have any septic tank outflows at all although there are two field drains for rainwater runoff to ensure the pitches/campsite not become waterlogged during heavy rain (clean water). I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the riverside pitch, these are by some margin our most popularly booked pitches and are very much in demand with guests regularly sharing positive experiences of their use. We are a back to nature campsite with many areas left as nature intended and where possible utilized to help clearly mark one pitch from another. When fully grown they will allow each pitch a further degree of privacy. The nettles are not a problem if you stick to the gravel tracks and mown grassed areas provided rather than take short cuts through the intended hedging. I cannot comment on your experience of the pub..... it's not ours. Perhaps post your opinions on their pages so that they can benefit from your insights. We don't advertise that we have any Wi-Fi which is why you didn't get any! Anyhoo.... enjoy your camping wherever you may roam. Thanks again for sharing your review.

Líbí se: Amazing quiet location beside the babbling river , showers toilets and all the facilities you’d expect with a top rate camping and caravan site including free washing machine and tumble dryer! Chris the warden gave a friendly welcome and the location in the southern the borders was excellent .

Nelíbí se: First impressions of the site going in were that that the pitches needed some TLC …..the grass areas and the dividing hedges were a bit wild but Chris did explain this was their first full year on a previously derelict site and I’m sure with further investment and time this will be a top site

Od správce: Fabulous comments and very much appreciated. Thank you once again and hope you return to our little borders campsite.

Od správce: Thank you for your review. Much appreciated and we look forward to welcoming you back.

Líbí se: Lovely quiet campsite, good size pitches. Excellent showers, toilets, kitchen facilities. Great location too

Nelíbí se: The firewood. Don’t mind the charge for a fire pit, but the “basket” of wood for a tenner was not good value. Three pieces of pine, three pieces of birch and a handful of kindling made from treated timber was disappointing. Treated timber should never be burned because of the chemicals it emits.

Od správce: Hi. Thanks for taking the time to review our campsite. We take on board your comments regarding firewood and have found another supplier of sustainably sourced firewood which will benefit our guests next season with more wood for your money. You are absolutely right about treated wood being used for kindling... shouldn't happen and we have ensured that the two are kept well separate. We really appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back to Bonnie campsite next season. Thanks Again.
