Enjoyed our stay but with a few concerns.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Beautifully kept spacious site. Appreciated the restaurant and bar facilities. Toilets and showers all good.
Disliked Site was largely peaceful but there were some odd characters about, blokes driving round and round the touring area in cars for no apparent reason and people apparently moving appliances from one caravan to another. We've never seen this at any other site. It went on for hours both in the evening and the next morning and was quite unsettling.

Anonymous Electric grass touring pitch
Liked This site has well kept grounds, the staff are regularly doing rounds checking the site and litter picking if needed. The security are frequently seen, so it feels safe especially if you have little ones. The play area looks to be very new and has plenty to offer for different ages. We didn't get to see or use the pool. We had lovely weather so had to be outside in it. The venue staff who ran the entertainment including Jack had plenty of smiles and really engaged with the children. The adult entertainment was ran well also, plenty of laughs and smiles all round. The food in the main bar was fairly priced and enough selection, plenty to offer drinks wise too.
Disliked It would be handy if they had a cleaning rota outside the toilet blocks so you knew when to avoid it, trying to take little ones when there is a wet floor isn't fun. All kept nice a clean tho, well done!

Liked Facilities were plentiful and clean plus the shower had great pressure and was hot.
Got to enjoy a sea view.
Definitely a great spot for families but was also quiet enough that I got two great nights sleep and was an easy location to get to Edinburgh from.
Disliked Parking area is separate from tent area
