Currie Glen Farm Campsite

Liked I really liked this place, but there was no one around and there was no Wi-Fi or network coverage nearby. We decided not to stay there because we didn’t feel safe. The area was quite empty and isolated, which made the place feel a bit scary, especially because of the thieves around.

From the manager: I am disgusted by this fabrication. What this woman means by there being "thieves around" I have no idea. She seems to have a warped imagination, as this is a peaceful, crime free area.
Maybe she should have read the description, which states clearly that there is no Wi-fi and that this is a place to get away from everyday noise and interruptions.
Further more, I don't understand how she felt the area was empty and isolated, as there were three other bookings that night; our house is just a hundred yards from the site and there are two other houses and another farm equally close by (two of which she would have passed on her way in).
It is a pity that she missed the opportunity to enjoy the peace and tranquillity that only a site like ours can provide. This is a site where you can hear and see the birds and other creatures as they live their lives without human interference. One lady was particularly delighted to have seen little bat during her stay.
If you want noise, phones and people milling around you, this is not the place

Liked Exactly what it says in the description , facilities basic but clean. Spacious pitches and friendly hosts

Thanks for the review, we enjoyed meeting you and we look forward to seeing you again in the future.
It's great to have a review from someone who has taken the time to look properly at the description and comment accordingly.

From the manager: Thanks, Braine, glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again sometime.

Liked Small campsite but still plenty of room for different campers. Gates were always open so could come and go as we pleased. Emailed the owner with a query and they responded almost instantly which was great. Outdoor sink for washing up and even had soap and scrubber which was a nice touch. A great circular walking route that runs just behind the site and has a water feature which was a great nighttime activity after food! We even saw some bats on the site which was amazing.

Disliked Not a dislike, just something for others to bear in mind - the toilets didn't have a working light so just take a torch with you on a night (or leave the door open slightly for natural light like I did 😆).

Liked Isolated, very quiet, v. good field in which to pitch, high trees surround the field keep low sun out.

Disliked Very basic toilets and outdoor wash up sink.
Occassional plane overflight (5000') as under the Edinburgh airport flight path.
Bring provisions to eat as shops not so near to get to.

Liked Der Platz liegt sehr ruhig, ideal zum Abschalten. Die Besitzer kamen kurz vorbei und waren freundlich – ein angenehmer persönlicher Kontakt. Die Ausstattung ist eher spartanisch, aber für eine einfache, unkomplizierte Übernachtung völlig in Ordnung.

Disliked Kein Handyempfang auf dem Platz, was die Erreichbarkeit einschränkt. Beim warmen Wasser war es so, dass es zwar beschrieben wurde, man es liest – und es dann trotzdem vermisst, wenn man vor Ort ist.

Liked Quiet, relaxed

Liked The woodland walk

Disliked Presume it was the owner that came round the field a couple of times but didn't actually speak to us. Description is misleading, site is quiet when the scouts in the adjoining permanent camp base aren't doing karaoke or playing music! To describe one toilet as disabled friendly is also stretching the definition somewhat. Someone in a wheelchair would not manage the door or sink etc. although says torch needed for sight, there is no light the loo.

From the manager: I can only presume that, when I came round to the campsite, these campers were keeping a low profile in their van. I do not like to go round knocking on doors or shouting into tents to see if there is anyone there, since some people want privacy. If a camper opens a door or steps out to let me know they are there, I always make a point of greeting them.
With regard to the Scouts, although they use the site next door, it does not belong to them and this was, in fact, only the second camp this year. It is unfortunate that they disturbed these campers but, in this day and age, there is little in the way of healthy entertainment for young people and I am sure that the leaders would have turned the volume down if they had been asked.

Liked Nice place. Toilet was very clean an had toilet paper. They also have liquid soap for hand wash. Lovely place.
