We decided to go to Scotland for "Hogmanay" and so chose Bee Edge for several reasons - its reviews, the hard-standing pitches, its proximity to the local village of Coldingham with its two pubs and it was not too far into Scotland for a quick 4 night getaway. We booked and paid for our pitch (now £25pn) via the CL Booking App, and in return we received a confirmation email containing all the information required for a seamless arrival. No sooner had we arrived, we were visited by the owner who welcomed us, thanked us for booking and informed us of the NY Day swim down in the Bay. Unfortunately we forgot our swimming gear - but we did cycle down on NY Day to see the hardy souls braving the elements! The site itself benefits from serviced pitches with grey waste disposal. The CL also has a drive-over for motorhome grey waste - we didn't use it as we used our waste hose - but it is a definite bonus. The CL also benefits from lovely views over the North Sea, and over the 3 days we were there we were lucky enough to have great weather - particularly considering the weather the rest of the UK was experiencing - and so for the first 2 days we managed to get out on our bikes following the various cycle loops on the Eyemouth Local Cycling trails pamphlet. On our third day we followed the Coldingham Circular Footpath which starts not far from the entrance road to the CL. The walk itself was extremely challenging - muddy and very, very wet with standing/running water on some of the trail. Extreme care had to be taken crossing the stiles and bridges - which were all very slippery. Once back on terra firma we stayed on the road to walk back through the village and up the road to the CL. At Hogmanay we cycled down to the New Inn about 9pm - to find it practically empty and due to close at 10pm, so we had one drink and moved on. There was a Ceilidh in the village hall - entrance was via donation - but we chose not to attend as it looked like a BYO event (we were obviously empty handed), so we moved on to the Anchor Inn - to find to be a "cash only" pub. We had just over £15 between us - but that was more than enough - especially as last orders were called at 1045pm. We left not long after last orders were called, and saw the new year in back at our motorhome. One of the locals in the pub did offer to buy us a drink, we respectfully declined, and another actually lent us £20 - to be paid back the next day when the local shop was open enabling us to use the ATM. As it happened, we didn't break into the £20 and so left it behind the bar for the lady to collect the next day. The hospitality we received was second to none. On the whole a lovely CL in a beautiful part of the Scottish Borders.
