Great touring stop
Starney Bay Caravan Site
Had a few nights at this CL we already knew the area and booked up as we wanted some walking and it’s just the best for blowing away the winter cobwebs, cliff top walks and time spent at the nearby beaches, winter time is one of the vest times to experience this rugged coast line.
Site is tidy and all pitches have a tap and drain, are level on a terraced site. Pitches are perhaps more suited to motorhomes as not particularly large and a caravan, car and awning would be a tight fit. Very quiet and peaceful nights sleep. The nearby craft shop and cafe are only open seasonally, shop was open weekends in Jan/Feb but not sure when the cafe was due to open. The cafe in St Abbs village is lovely and just a short walk down to the harbour.
The site owners are friendly and welcoming, often busy with farming jobs.
Only negative really is the black gritty surface used for the hard standings, it’s easily trailed inside and not the best in my opinion but that wouldn’t put me off it’s just a small issue.
Lovely, well kept, clean site - excellently located
Starney Bay Caravan Site
We stayed for a short break from a Sunday to Thursday in January. The site is located near a popular walking area, with paths from the site going to St Abbs Head, into St Abbs village or to Coldingham Bay. The site was neat, clean and tidy and each pitch had its own water tap, grey waste and electric hook up, complete with a light if you arrive in the dark. The chemical waste disposal facility is contained within a fenced off area within the site and very easily accessible. Ali was friendly and very welcoming, providing hints and tips about what was open and what wasn't at the time of year we were visiting. There were walkers using the path adjacent to the site but this didn't bother us and it didn't feel intrusive. We really loved the site and it was a bonus that we were able go on some absolutely beautiful walks with our dogs, directly from the site or walk into St Abbs to the Old School Cafe sited at the visitor centre, for coffee and cake. We certainly plan to return.
fantastic location.
Starney Bay Caravan Site
We stayed here for 2 nights. Fantastic location as a very short walk to the wonderful harbor of St Abbs. An even shorter walk to the start of the cliff top circular walk. Both Cafe's in St Abbs worth a visit too. Pitch and putt too :-)
All pitches on site, flat, hard standing with their own tap and electric hook up.
Good space round each pitch.
We had the good fortune of seeing two deer (one a stagg) in the evening of our first night in the neighboring field.
Lots of lovely birds/wildlife in area, easily visible from van
Ali came round the evening of our first day and was very knowledgeable about the local area, giving us good recommendations of where to visit/walk.
However there are two main disadvantages to the site;I feel it is expensive at £25/night considering there is no WC/Shower on site. Also no waste point for our motorhome. We have spent time on similar sites with similar facilities and they were mostly £18/night. Also biggest disadvantage it is not private as the path from the visitors center to St Abbs runs down one site of the site and everyone gets a good look into the campsite.
Summary; A fantastic place to stay in order to be on the doorstep to St Abbs and wonderful walks, However this is not a place I would choose to stay for long as I did not feel comfortable sitting outside my van with a book due to the footpath.
Well laid out site, but....
Starney Bay Caravan Site
Quite expensive at £25 but a very well laid out site with ehu, waste and tap at each pitch, but motorhomers beware, no waste disposal point for you! The surface is a fine black substance which sticks exceptionally well to your shoes, hence lots of dirt in the caravan. We felt that without screening from the road and adjacent footpath we were always on view, didn’t feel like sitting out for our G&T! Persons parking for the small shops at the farm seemed to find standing at the gate and peering in quite fascinating, not for us. If this would not bother you then the site is perfect as the location is fabulous with only a 5 minute walk into St.Abbs. Ali was very welcoming and informative.
5 minutes
Peace & quiet
Starney Bay Caravan Site
Had a wonderful 4 days here with our demountable camper,fine weather added to this of course.
Local area is very scenic with good walking and cafes for refreshments…..easy 10 minute walk to Coldingham bay beach,5 mins to 2 cafes in St Abbs.
Facilities at site were spotless,pitches level and roomy….we'll definitely return when in need of a weekend of peace & quiet.
