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.

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.

Liked: Friendly wardens Near to Peebles. Nice parkland setting Warm water in showers with unlimited water
Disliked: Park just re opened under new management Toilet blocks in need up updating Poor lighting at toilet block especially at night
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank You for your review. We would like to address some of your issues. The park is not under new management, But has just been reopened due to demand in the local area, We would like to point out that our facilities are clearly listed as is the price, which you would have seen before you booked. Yes the amenity blocks are dated, But they are clean and well heated and plenty of hot water. We do state to bring a torch as some areas of the park are dark, We are within walking distance of the town centre, And as we found previously, Most visitors use us as a base to go into town. The park is mostly used for this purpose. We try to be accommodating and were so with you, We did not mention the fact that you brought a dog which you did not pay for, We are sorry you were not happy with the park. Thanks again for your review.
