  • Dog-friendly 50-acre site in the grounds of a Georgian mansion
  • Spectacular views towards the Venlaw hills
  • On the edge of Peebles and near the river Tweed
Peeps and their pooches – you should come to Rosetta Holiday Park. As it's a sure bet you'll find something to feast your eyes on round these parts, whether that’s the 50 miles of mountain bike trails at Glentress Forest or piles of lovely wares in town… Peebles has lots of artsy attractions and several festivals. Nearby, the river Tweed is internationally famous for salmon fishing too: the Peebles town motto and crest even has three salmon a-leaping up the water. All in all, rather fab. Right on the edge of Peebles, Rosetta Holiday Park is an attentively manicured site which welcomes families and dogs. It's set over 50 acres with spectacular views towards the Venlaw Hills, so it's a feast for your eyes.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: 15 mins from Peebles, quiet site.

Disliked: Its run down theres a lot of pitches out of order as the electric hook ups are wrapped in polythene and have not been repaired. 2 toilet blocks with 2 showers in each. Have to put in a 5 digit code to enter but the water was not very hot. You wash your dishes in the shower/toilet block! Not outside! On arrival I was told just to pick a spot! I was told take any from 60 or 40 odd just help your self!
Theres water/disposal points which are stinking if you park near really awful.
I dont think the toilet disposal should be near vans or the same place as fresh water? It was never checked or cleaned and the spill/smell was dreadful. Parts of the site user are crammed in not much space between users. No facilities at all for kids no play park or swings. No WI-FI! Pitches can be very steep! To walk out the pedestrian bridge is broken and barriered off you have to walk around it. Takes about 15 mins to walk into town. Id say someone needs to do a complete refurbish of the place and get it up to a decent standard. It could be a good site with some TLC and better facilities.

From the manager: You arrived on the Saturday of a busy bank holiday weekend, So most of the pitches were gone, I told you the areas where there was plenty of room. The pitches are not out of order, As explained when you checked in, The areas with the electric boxes covered were the ones that had very soft ground and we don't want the grass tore up and people getting stuck.
The toilet blocks have very hot water, We have lots of guests who are happy with them and it is constant hot water with no timer. We have two blocks, With 2 male showers and 2 female showers in each block. We have washing up areas in all 4 areas inside, As to wash up outside in the rain or cold is not realistic, you had the option to wash up in your own accommodation if this was a problem for you.
The waste disposal points are flushed every morning and we cannot control what people put down them, Or the fact that people don't rinse them after use, They are also in a separate area surrounded by a wall from the water points,
We also told you on check in that we do not assign pitches as a lot of people don't want those pitches and prefer to pick their own. The parts of the park that were crowded is because for some reason, Everyone likes to congregate near other guests especially families and friends. Pitch Up is very clear on what facilities we have and don't have including wifi There are parks very close by for families. A lot of your points are factually incorrect and unfair. The bridge is barriered off as it became a hazard and the other side there is a walk way.
Maybe read what parks have and don't have before booking would be helpful for you in the future.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: In a nutshell... everything.
Initially chose this site after reading reviews, specifically the manager's responses to preposterous negative comments.
It's an honesty that you don't see very much anymore.
And that's what this site is... honest.
The description is accurate and acknowledges what some customers might describe as short comings. They're not shortcomings. They are what they are; comfortable, functional, clean and whatever negatives you want to try to find, are more than made up for by the beautiful location and the on-site team.
'Big Pete' (staff) apologising for the weather, then insisting that we borrow his umbrella for our short walk into town was a nice touch and sums up what this site is all about.

Disliked: Nothing.

From the manager: Thank You for your kind review.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: We've missed having a campsite in Peebles thats open to tourers. Close enough to the town to walk to the shops, pubs and tea rooms. Nice walks by the river for dogs. Facilities are warm and clean although dated. We'll definitely return.

From the manager: Thank you for your review.

We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.
We do try and keep our 'antiquated' facilities as clean and warm as possible.
We look forward to seeing you again.

Definitely one to be recommended.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Pretty much everything. Beautiful drive from England and back. Lovely site with loads of space. Easy to use showers and toilets. Peebles idyllic. Nice weather and easy walk into town.

Disliked: We were packing to leave and, despite it being a huge site, the guy chose to cut the grass right up close to us. Very off putting.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us.

We keep our grounds as neat as possible, We have over 50 acres to cut, The touring area is done on a Thursday between 10-12, Unfortunately as you were still here after 11, The groundsman had no choice but to cut near you.
He stayed as far away from you as he could until you left.
But we have a time scale for different areas and do try not to disturb our guests, We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Local attractions

One of the many highlights of the Scottish Borders is that, while the region is rightly popular with savvy holidaymakers, it remains off the mass tourist track so you can gleefully pursue your pastimes without areas becoming overcrowded. Fishing is one of the most popular pursuits in the area is because of Peebles’ proximity to the River Tweed, on the top scale of salmon fishing rivers in the world. Go out on your own with your rod licence or bag a trip/course from one of the many local angling centres nearby; the Tweed and its tributaries yield wild trout and grayling too. Elsewhere in the area, anglers have acres of lochs for coarse fishing and the Berwickshire coast nearby for sea angling – and views – off Eyemouth, Burmouth and St Abbs. The mountain bike trails of Glentress Forest, three miles away, are another big draw for active visitors – the Tweed Bike Festival is held here in May and June and Glentress/Innerleithen are part of the world famous 7stanes mountain biking trails. The award-winning centre at Glentress has trails of all grades and a most modern visitor centre with bike wash, bike hire and a bike shop. The Tweed Love Bike Festival is held at Peebles in early summer, but if you miss it/aren’t a mountain biker, several other festivals cover several other tastes such as arts, jazz, food, Highland Games, Rugby Sevens and the traditional week-long Beltane Festival. Dramatic highlights like shows at the Eastgate can be had at any time of the year, as can sampling fresh local produce in the town’s hotels and restaurants, park and river walks by the Tweed and the prerequisite till-ringing at the Old Town and School Brae. As well as Peebles, the Borders has plenty of other characterful towns to seek out such as Selkirk, Jedburgh, Galashiels and the Borders’ biggest town Hawick; those looking for even brighter lights can make their way to Edinburgh, just 20 miles away.
