Bonnybridge Eco Camping and Glamping

A aimé Sure, here's a short review for Bonnybridge Eco Camping and Glamping:

---

I recently stayed at Bonnybridge Eco Camping and Glamping for two nights and had an excellent experience. The site and facilities were exceptionally clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. It was the perfect stop on my route towards the NC500, offering stunning views that made my stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

A aimé Great eco site lovely pitches and we'll kept site, good parking and immaculate shower and toilet facilities. Great location for surrounding sites, well stocked on site shop and lovely hosts.

N'a pas aimé Due to being an eco site no freezer facilities or power points but that's understandable. No parking next to pitches which can be a chore when setting up and packing up.

A aimé Appeared a nice set up camp site.
Children playing in the ‘Deluxe area’

N'a pas aimé Sadly, on arrival owner seemed more concerned we had missed the £2 for 1 dog extra payment. We paid immediately & then a smile.
Has the owner actually ever Camped! Accept eco friendly, a few steps too far, where Health measures in a communal space should be considered.
Animal Poo on the deluxe area x6.
Not outside cold tap.. only essential water use m allowed from a bought in Aqua water system for drinking or cooking use at a non eco carbon footprint cost, but not plugged in to keep cool.(their animals have a mains cold water water but not humans paying to stay!- bizarre!
A communal hand towel in the bathrooms for all to use instead of paper towels. Hand soap but no hand gel.
Showers x 2 for whole site- water far too hot & erratic, no mixer- potential scald’s on young children.. no cold tap on sink in shower room either so bring yr own bottle to use to brush yr teeth as advised not drinking water.
Nice few families there, drinking & socialising til nearly 1am.. no advice to consider others anywhere.
Finally had to have left by 10.30 so a rush to shower.. eat breakfast & break camp. Lots of flies on paddock camping..
did speak to owner as a few comments of concern. Her answer - it’s eco friendly!!

Réponse du gestionnaire : Whilst we appreciate reviews are personal opinion, we do respond to reviews which are factually incorrect and contain mistruths. Firstly our site is located on a farm in the Scottish countryside and is ran entirely off grid. We have no mains utilities, contrary to your presumption. The water cooler meets all statutory requirements for provision of drinking water on a commercial premises, there is no requirement to provide electrically cooled water. We are a small site, therefore 2 showers is more than sufficient and there is operation signage within the showers which clearly states to keep the water flowing to avoid hot/cold blasts as the system restarts, it is helpful if campers take the time to read signage. There is no requirement to provide hand gel and single use hand towels as we have hand wash and towels which is a superior method of cleaning your hands. As stated we are located in the countryside and whilst you were complaining I did advise we have deer visit the site during the night but you were adamant the site was littered with dog poop. Maintenance and cleanliness of the site and facilities is paramount and something we take great pride in. We walked the site extensively after you left and found 1 x deer poop which was promptly lifted. There is very little we can or will do about the wildlife and insect population in fact we welcome these on our site. We have a 24 hr contact number which we are contactable on should any matters arise which need our attention out of hours and not having been alerted , heard any noise ourselves during late checks or during the night we can hardly be responsible for other campers behaviour. Our quiet times are listed in our terms and conditions and it would not be prudent to litter the site with signs to cover every eventuality. Whilst you were making us aware of your distaste for the site, we were very polite and courteous towards you, and tried to explain the measures we would take to check the site etc, however this did not appease your disgruntlement.Never at any time did we respond with “its eco friendly”. Finally, when checking you in we were more than welcoming and amended your booking to include your dog, absolutely no problems at all, and if you care to remember we gave your dog lots of pats. Had we known asking you to pay £2 for your dog would cause so much disgust we would have told you to keep it. It is not pleasant to receive personal derogatory remarks at work but if doing so online makes you feel better about yourself, we are glad we have managed to assist you with this.

A aimé The bell tent was great, so easy for a night’s camping. Lovely and friendly check in, very clean facilities, and a beautiful location. We will definitely be back.

N'a pas aimé Nothing! Only wish we had booked 2 nights!

A aimé Location
Size of campsite
Toilet/Showers

A aimé We loved how child friendly everything was, a safe open space for them to explore, swings, football net, friendly animals(cats, hen, dog,sheep) the area was clean , quiet and a perfect place to relax with the family. We have already booked another visit.

A aimé Great place, we had a fab time. Great views, nice and clean toilets/showers. My Daughter loved the chicken, cats, horses and super friendly sheep😀. Nice and quiet. Thank you for a lovely weekend, we will be back!😀

A aimé Easy to find. Nice eco facilities. Lovely space and views. Friendly welcoming staff :)

A aimé Small, friendly campsite. The toilets and showers were very clean and there was a baby changing station in the toilet block.

Particular highlight was the two extremely friendly cats and a chicken!

The camping spaces were nice and flat, with grass and soft soil that made it easy to get tent pegs in!

A aimé Lovely eco campsite with helpful staff recommending nearby places to visit. Amazing views and would definitely visit again.
