Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Such a lovely little gem of a campsite! The location was perfect , so peaceful and relaxing. It completely exceeded our expectations, especially for the price.
The hosts have really gone above and beyond, and all the little touches made such a difference. The facilities were spotless and so well looked after, which made the stay even better. The whole place just had such a calm, peaceful vibe, and we honestly couldn't have asked for more.
We'd definitely recommend it to anyone and will absolutely be back if we're ever in the area again. Thanks so much for having us!
Disliked Absolutely nothing

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Lovely quiet site. The site owner was very friendly and helpful. No showers but toilet cabin was lovely and clean (and quite posh for a metal container lol). I loved that kids toys and games were scattered around the site (swingball, giant connect 4, etc). There was also books and games available for use, which was a lovely touch. Very windy the weekend we visited so couldn't use bbq/firepit but these are dotted around the site for use too along with picnic tables. Overall a great site that I would definitely visit again and recommend to others 😊

Liked Lovely owners, nice views, toilets were really clean.
Disliked We left due to wind conditions, completely out of the sites control.
The toilets are unisex so maybe seperate blocks would be nice.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments about the nice views and really clean toilets. We are sorry you had to leave early because of the weather.
However we wanted to address the 6 out of 10 for wi-fi. WE DO NOT OFFER wi-fi and do not advertise or list wi-fi as part of our site facilities.
We encourage our guests to check our clear property details before booking to see what we do and don't have to offer. This will enable guests to decide if it will meet their needs.
Thank you for your comments about the clean toilets and your preference for seperate male and female units.
We do list and advertise our toilet cabin as "unisex." To make things as comfortable as possible, within the cabin there are 2 male and 2 female toilets with clearly marked signs on each door.
We advertise our site as a very small back to basics site with restricted infrastructure however we are pleased you appreciated how clean the toilets were.
We were a little disappointed at the 8 out of 10 for "value for money," as other feedback suggests that £15 for a family of 4 people per night, with clean facilities, was considered good value for money.
We would hope that guests would judge us on what we offer (as clearly advertised) and not on a wish list for things we simply do not have.
Thanks for staying with us and safe future travels.
Lovely little camp site on Scottish Borders
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked What a lovely camp site with beautiful views. Very quiet just what we were after. Although there are no showers there is a wash room in the toilet block which was super clean.
