Unpowered grass motorhome site
Liked We loved this family oriented site. It’s small and perfectly formed with good facilities, exactly what we needed. Spotlessly clean Showers, toilets and small communal kitchen area. Having a kettle available and some ice blocks we could borrow was fantastic as our electrics blew when we arrived. I loved that it’s quiet with only a few van spots
Disliked N/A liked it all!

Rowan shepherd's hut
Liked We absolutely LOVED this place. It’s super well maintained, super cute and they have the sweetest goats ever!! And the night sky is amazing on a clear day with very little light pollution.
We loved the honestly shop - we got some marshmallows from there and I loved that you could donate to plant a tree too.
The owners were really lovely too.
There’s an option where you can ask to be shown around the farm too to learn about how they run it. We didn’t do this due to lack of time, but for sure would do when we return!

Highly recommend. Quiet and owners have thought of everything.
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Quirky and cool! I loved everything about Shepherds Rest. The pitches are lovely and spacious and Alison (the owner) strictly enforces the quiet times of 10pm-8am and as a result the whole campsite becomes silent and I had some of my best camping sleeps ever. Everything about the site is designed to be low impact on the environment but that doesn’t mean basic. 2 lots of immaculate toilets (one set housed in quirky sheds) and 2 pristine shower sheds. There’s also an indoor camp kitchen with cutlery, mugs, tea, coffee etc an eco-kettle and microwave. There’s also a hairdryer. There’s a huge barn for the use of campers with tables, chairs, charging points (or secure charging lockers) and a small honesty box with a few basics. There’s a freezer for freezing ice blocks, books, board games and lots of local info.
There’s also a cool drying horse box - a real bonus for drying towels etc.
The area has so much to offer - I’d recommend St Abbs Nature Reserve, walking some of the coastal path - we did St Abbs to Eyemouth (bus back). Coldingham beach. The fish and chips in Eyemouth and last but not least Berwick Upon Tweed.

Liked De ruime kampeerplek. Goede (warm) watervoorziening. Douche. Kampeer keukentje met waterkoker
Disliked De toiletten zijn idyllisch, maar het openen en sluiten maakt erg veel lawaai. Daar wordt je de hele nacht wakker van als je een plek hebt nabij de toiletten
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: if you found your pitch too close to the toilet block, you should have mentioned this during your stay and we would have offerd you a pitch further away.
we hope to see you again in the future :)
