Friendly staff, well laid out pitches and fantastic facilities.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Everything about the site.
From the welcome at check in the entire stay was a pleasure . The pitch sizes were the best we have stayed at. The site is set out very well.
We travelled with our dog and the dog walk and detailed trails were brilliant.
The facilities were of a very high standard, looked brand new. We had a look at the community kitchen but didn’t actually use it . It seemed to be kitted out for anything and everything you would need.
Before leaving we used the waste disposal area and this was straightforward and simple.
All in all a great overnight stay on the way home and we will definitely be back.
Disliked Nothing

Liked Lovely facilities, great pitch, warm welcome.
Disliked Aircraft noise, obviously not the fault of the site! Take offs started in the early hours. Without this the stay would have been perfect.

Ein perfekter Platz für einen Besuch in Edinburgh und Falkirk
Powered grass campsite
Liked Ein wunderbar gepflegter Platz mit herrlich warmen und beheizten Duschen. Auch die Küche ist komplett ausgestattet, geheizt und gemütlich. Die schönste Überraschung aber war, dass man innerhalb einer Stunde mit dem E-Bike mitten im Herzen von Edinburgh oder Falkirk sein kann. Die Strecke geht die meiste Zeit entlang des Union-Canals und ist faszinierend schön.
Disliked Absolut nichts.
