Liked: Firstly staff where very polite and welcoming. We parked in the wrong place which wasn't for touring but we did move next day. Staff where understanding. Touring pitches are good. Ablutions are very clean and showers are brilliant. Warm inside and plenty of hot water. It's nice a peaceful. Peebles is lovely and 0.8 mile walk which took us 15 minutes. Its a nice walk. Also takeaway bring you food straight to the entrance.
Disliked: For the blind like me lol. Bigger sign maybe to stop people pitching up where they shouldn't tho this was all my fault.

Liked: Location of site
Disliked: Costly £40 with EHU. Female toilets dirty
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We are sorry you experienced toilets that were not up to our high standards of cleanliness on a busy bank holiday weekend, Unfortunately we had some users that were not respectful of others and did leave the ladies toilets in a untidy condition. If you had contacted the office or warden this would have been rectified immediately. Our toilets are cleaned once a day between 11 and 1, to coincide with departures and arrivals, We are a very small team and work hard to be welcoming and provide clean facilities . As you can see from other reviews, Our toilets are cleaned to a high standard, But sadly, we cannot control what people do in them. The price is £38 a night with EHU for up to six people, Given the location and free showers, water and chemical waste, We do not feel this is excessive.
Nice and quiet, and only 15min walk to town…

Liked: This is a lovely site,very spacious pitches, fabulous dog walk and a short walk into peebles itself. As a solo traveller that weekend I felt very safe ,nice friendly wardens.
Disliked: It's was quite a walk to bin area ,perhaps an other bin area half way along the park would be good ,also no waste disposal drain for moterhomes
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are happy you enjoyed your stay and felt safe. Unfortunately we had to move the bins to the central area as our waste disposal company will not go on the touring area road while there are motorhomes and campers on. It is not wide enough for them to pull in anywhere to let other vehicles pass by. We are looking into waste disposal for motorhomes. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you.
Very nice would definitely stay again

Liked: Lovely good sized pitches and we could choose our own. Facilities all very clean and in good working order. Warden was very affable and came to check we were ok and happy about everything. He also gave us some of the history of why the site is named after the Rosetta Stone as well as information about visiting Peebles. The location is ideal for walking, shops etc and Peebles is just a wonderful destination. Love our two day stay there and will be back.
Disliked: NA

Liked: Location
Disliked: Old fashioned, not accessible facilities. Grass water logged pitches. Hayloft bar boarded up and playground fenced off.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We would like to address your unfair and incorrect review. There is nowhere on PU that says we have a bar or play area. This is absolutely not false advertising as we do not have these facilities and don't claim to have them. We are very clear as to what we have to offer and what is 'nearby'. The bar is not boarded up, It is fenced off, as is the play area, These have been closed since 2020. Our listing states exactly what is a correct representation of the park. As for the water logged pitches... They are grass pitches and we advised you and others that arrived the same week that we had a lot of rain and we had pitches that were 'water logged' and not to use. We have over 80 pitches to chose from with less than 15 that were not to be used during your stay. We told you this out of courtesy and advised you the best pitches to go on during your stay. The pitch that you chose was not water logged and in a good area.
