A aimé This was our second stay at Tan Aeldroch Farm. It is a truly gorgeous campsite, particularly the pitches by the river will guarantee some of the best night sleep. The shower facilities were new since our last visit and those showers get HOT which was a pleasant surprise on our cold and damp holiday. I know there's a few points below but we genuinely love this site and will keep coming back in the future.

N'a pas aimé Just missing one star for a couple of very very minor things. We bought some wood to have a fire and it was just a bit damp from where it had been stored. We did bring our dog with us and very much appreciate dogs being allowed at the site on leads, however, whilst our dog is good with livestock we weren't expecting the sheep to be grazing in the actual camping field so maybe that's just something to be aware of if your dog is not used to livestock. The sheep are no bother themselves and will stay away as soon as they see there's a dog there but you need to be careful where you step and make sure your dog isn't rolling in any delightful surprises just before you're about share a tent... The hot tap in the toilets wasn't working. I did forget to mention this while we were there.

A aimé This campsite is one of those you want to tell everyone about but at the same time tell no-one and keep it as your little secret. It's a truly magical experience and the pitches are in little groves that makes it feel super private. It's like forest bathing. We felt so relaxed. I feel the need to respond to some of the comments reg. the facilities; we go to semi-wild camping sites a lot as we don't need very much and from our experience the facilities were some of the best we've seen. We were super impressed. I feel people have no idea how rare it is to have hot water to wash your dishes at this price, we almost felt bad about using it. We don't come down this way very often but will definitely be making a point to explore more of this part of the country just so we can stay here again. Big shout out to Steph, the host, who is an absolute legend.

A aimé We loved the views! Lots of space to cook. We are light campers and perhaps easily pleased so I guess you could say maybe some of the facilities were modest but it has everything you need. Definitely our sort of place and the atmosphere was really nice. We booked the day before and there was plenty of availability so we love that places like this exist for us hikers who rely on weather windows.

N'a pas aimé Not anything that can be held against the site itself, the stunning views do come at the expense of slightly sloping pitches but the owner/manager seems to know exactly where to put people based on their set up so we have no complaints. Porter loos were as you would expect for an August bank holiday weekend so take that as you will.

A aimé Amazing facilities and the owners fun and friendly. Everything is very clean and tidy and great it's obvious that everything has been laid out with care and attention to detail. the pitches are nice and roomie with plenty of space for our car and 4m bell tent + guys. It's relatively small so it doesn't get overcrowded and the ground is excellent, no bent pegs! We really enjoyed overlooking nice fields with grazing sheep and cows. A perfect place to disappear in the midst of school holidays. Logs for open fires can be purchased on-site and fire baskets are available to borrow free of charge, provided that you purchase logs there.

N'a pas aimé I can't say that I have any, really. The only thing I would say, which is why I've given it 4 stars, is that the pitch is situated between a country lane and train tracks. However, the tracks are a good distance away and a train passes roughly every hour or so. The country lane is not a busy one. You won't notice either at night so its really not a problem. You also get some air traffic but again nothing that you can't ignore. Please don't be put off by this, the sight is absolutely amazing and the owners seem to have made a tremendous effort to make everything as pleasant as possible.
