Excellent CL site with lovely views
Springlee
Stayed 8 nights at this lovely well kept site. Warm welcome from owner Pam. Lovely views over the countryside.
We were 5th unit to arrive on the day we travelled and had to pitch on quite a slope but managed to finally get level.
Very good chemical disposal and recycling bins. Quite a steep climb to this area if you are on a lower pitch.
Would return, excellent break thank you Pam.

What a great find
Springlee
Just home from a great stay at Springlee…there is nothing you can fault about this Site. It is a quiet location, there is minimal road noise but you honestly don’t notice it. The Site is maintained to a very high standard with plenty of space between pitches. I would highly recommend :)

Just lovely!
Springlee
We really enjoyed our recent 5 night stay at this lovely CL site, which is perfectly situated for exploring the pretty little town of Melrose and the beautiful countryside around it. Others have mentioned road noise but we hardly noticed anything...all we could hear most of the time were the birds singing and the sheep in the neighbouring fields. We stayed on one of the two level grass pitches at the bottom of the site...it’s a little way up the hill to take/collect water and waste, but the trade off was the beautiful outlook and feeling of peace and tranquillity. Sadly we didn’t get to meet Pam, the owner, as she was shielding due to Covid, but she does an excellent job of maintaining this brilliant little site, which is a real credit to the CL network.
Smashing CL
Springlee
Lovely tidy organised CL. Very friendly owner. Just outside Melrose with lots of places to visit. Two hard and three grass pitches, grass mown and collected. Good dog walk from site. Very peaceful. Just a short 3 night stay this time as on our way up to the Highlands. Highly recommended.
Excellent Base For Exploring the Borders
Springlee
Having dogs, we usually base our choice of CLs on those which have a decent dog walk direct from site. This was ideal in that there is a farm track right next to the site which was rarely used by vehicles so was great for walking the dogs. After a shortish distance the track turned into a nice grassy track by which you could walk to a neighbouring village.
We like visiting historic houses and castles so this was perfect being on the Big Houses Trail which were ideally spread around the site so there wasn't too much driving involved. To name a few within easy reach: Floors Castle, Manderston House, Paxton House, Mellerstain House, Bowhill House, Traquair House and Abbotsford House and Estate. All the places welcomed dogs on the estate trails and gardens plus they all had nice cafes for lunch. Visited all the abbeys; Kelso, Dryburgh, Melrose and Jedburgh which also all allow dogs in the grounds and ruins. Leaderfoot Viaduct was interesting and there was a nice walk along the River Tweed.
Melrose was a lovely town with a couple of small National Trust Gardens and had a decent Co-Op. Kelso was nice and had a large Sainsburys where we went to buy some shorts as it was so sunny and hot whilst we were there.
The owner is very friendly and lent us some walking books which came in very handy as there are so many lovely places to walk in the vicinity. The site is very well kept and had lovely views over farm land. We had the pitch nearest the road so with the windows open you could hear vehicles but it was not intrusive and only busy during commuting times. We would certainly recommend the site and will certainly be going back.
