Brilliant

We had 4 days/nights stay here in June, and we could easily have had a whole week here. Very peaceful and relaxing. Our collie ‘Flint’ had a great time too. Just Loved looking out over the hills as we relaxed in our camper. Lovely meeting you Emma!

Our new favourite CL!

We stayed for two nights in April and wish we could have stayed longer. We had a warm welcome from Emma who showed us where everything was and said we could pitch anywhere in the field as we were the only ones there. It was incredibly peaceful and we were very lucky with the sunny weather so we could sit outside and enjoy the fabulous views of the countryside and Hermitage castle. There are some lovely walks and we enjoyed watching the lambs in the field and listening to the river (hermitage water). You definitely need levelling blocks and there is no electric but this is exactly what we wanted so we could test out our solar panels! We will definitely be back here next time we're in the Scottish borders. Thank you for setting up this idyllic site!

Borders Beauty and Solitude

We received a warm welcome from Emma on arrival who walked us to the field showing us the facilities and giving us some helpful information on the area. The field is large and open, sunny with extensive views and firm ground for our motorhome when we visited. We were then left to choose our pitching location. The drinking water, grey waste and chemical waste points are all well separated, each with their own taps. We chose to stay on site exploring the immediate area with pleasant walks every day. Hermitage Hill is rewarding with great 360 degree views. The short walk from site to Hermitage Castle and Chapel is pleasant and flat. We booked for three nights at the end of August but stayed on for another night. A very peaceful and lovely location with friendly owners. We will definitely visit again.

Great site

Wow what a place, a great host, Emma was there to greet us, gave us ideas on what to do, we told her we were there to relax and watch the stars, boy did it deliver. Midges at tea time as previously told but we were prepared, they soon left us alone. Perfectly pitched on the open field, watching the cows. If it’s relaxation your after this is the place to be, pure silence.

Thanks Emma

Lesley and Stuart

A site to return to time and again

This was our second visit, and will not be our last, as the site excels in every way. Emma is ever helpful, and so friendly, and even remembered our dogs name from last time. The site is the last word in a get away from it all stay, although the surrounding area also has so much to offer. Mountain biking (7 stanes) in Newcastleton, road biking on some amazing single track roads, direct from the site, and walks for all abilities from the square in Newcastleton. A short walk from the site across the fields takes you to the dramatic Hermitage castle, especially stunning in the evening sun.

A Field with a View.

Emma was there within minutes of us arriving to ensure we had all we needed. The field itself is quite uneven and we have a large heavy motorhome which she advised us to park on a slightly higher part due to the previous day's rainfall (and consequently slightly damp ground) although we had no problems. The grey water, chemical toilet and fresh water were easy to access, no electricity but we knew this before we arrived. The Hermitage castle is within sight of the field. This is really the place to go if you want to be away from it all. We couldn't get a phone signal, even when we drove into Hawick (lovely town incidentally) the signal was intermittent. Newcastleton is 6 miles away - and despite being a small village did have a good phone signal. We visited in June and so had the midges which appeared in the late afternoon in the sunshine to contend with. Other than that, a peaceful rural location.

Absolute corker of a site!

Thank you Emma for a wonderful stay on your site in August. We (and our husky) had the whole site to ourselves and it is such a beautiful spot. Evening strolls to Hermitage Castle and daytime bike rides round Kielder Forest. We will definitely be back and would thoroughly recommend this site. A real corker!

A peaceful and beautiful escape from it all

What a lovely place to stay! Peace and tranquility in a beautiful part of the Scottish Borders, Hermitage Farm really is the best place to be if you want to escape for a few days. Emma the owner was lovely, very helpful and friendly and we will definitely be going back.

Super- a real hidden gem!

Hidden gem might be a bit of an overworked expression, but Hermitage Farm House certainly deserves this description. A large grass CL in totally unspoilt countryside, seemily miles away from human habitation - so tranquil. My welcome was unusual, I overshot the farmhouse but the local postman directed me and assured me I'd get a warm welcome from Emma and a big soppy Great Dane called Luna. He was right. Emma spared no effort to make me welcome and provide local information and the best viewpoint on the field. There's a lovely little walk to Hermitage Castle and Chapel ruins with the added benefit of a refreshing dip in the burn near the Chapel. This is a fairly new CL, and still relatively quiet, but I can't see it staying like that as it gets better known. Will return, next time with my wife.
