P non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: A cracking site located in a beautiful part of the Borders. Pitches are well marked and spaced out, facilities very clean and new looking. Showers warm and overall really good value. Warden's on site to welcome and show you allocated pitch - very friendly. There is an excellent pub/restaurant literally a 2 minute walk from site that offers great food and a warm atmosphere.

Electric hardstanding and grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: It was a really nice site. The wardens were really welcoming. Showers were great really clean and warm. Next door was The Horse and Hound bar and restaurant. Very welcoming. Food was good and the locals all had a sing song at the end of the night. The instruments were hung on the wall and anyone was welcome to have a go. Great atmosphere. Would definitely stay there again.

Gary P. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric hardstanding and grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Good facilities onsite, warden was friendly but appeared totally oblivious to the noise his barking dog was making, local pub with friendly staff and lovely food.

Disliked: I had booked in for 2 nights, but unfortunately I left after only one night due to the wardens dog constantly barking. Every other visitor on the site also had dogs. Whenever someone walked past the wardens caravan which was next to the shower block his dog would bark, then all the other dogs on the site started barking... This would happen every 20-30 minutes ..The dog was quite as evening came, probably because it was inside the caravan, but at 6am the following morning the wardens dog started barking again, but none of the other dogs on site started barking. I would think it's the wardens job to set a good example, if he couldn't keep his dog quite it should never have been on site.. Would I stay here again...No, not if the wardens dog was onsite.. I would have had a totally different experience had the wardens dog not been there..

From the manager: Hi Gary. Sorry to hear about your recent experience at our campsite. We rotated our wardens during the weekend of your stay and can only imagine the distraction of the handover being the cause as we have had no other reports from other guests of the same issue during their stays. Nevertheless i'm sorry you had to endure the noise from the dog. I hope you give us another opportunity to enjoy our little campsite as the experience is not the norm and we pride ourselves on maintaining a peaceful and quiet environment.

Local attractions

Walking boots at the ready – guests here can take a woodland walk directly from the site or follow one of several trails from just outside the village. Or, if you’re feeling particularly energetic, how about the Borders Abbeys Way? This 68-mile route links the great ruins of Kelso, Jedburgh, Melrose and Dryburgh, and short sections of it are just as rewarding if you can’t manage the whole thing (or you could drive – they’re all within a half-hour journey). If the water’s more of your scene, head instead to St Mary’s Loch (45 minutes’ drive), where the active sailing club runs activities including windsurfing, kayaking and yacht training. Lindean Loch (half an hour) is a good place for a wild swim. Heading over the border into England you’ll quickly get to Northumberland National Park and Kielder Forest Park (half an hour). Both are excellent places for walking and other outdoor pursuits, and the two together form Europe’s second-largest dark sky area – head here for great stargazing and observatory events.
