Nice little site

Very well situated site for St Andrews, with lovely dog walking available on the West Beach approximately 3 miles away, particularly if you park towards the end. Free parking which was a bonus. Lovely views from the site and warm welcome from the owner. As we have a fairly large caravan, Mrs Wade had kindly allocated us the hard standing pitch although this actually consisted of a small area of concrete which was too small for our van although it was adequate to get the wheels on but not the stablisers. As the site is basically in the front garden, you do need a motor mover to be able to situate your van to take in the views as there is not room to do it with a car. The only minus point for us was that there is farm track situated next to the hard standing pitch which had an awful lot of heavy farm machinery using it from 6.30am onwards, but you would not notice this so much if you were on a different pitch. We really enjoyed our stay although the weather was not very kind to us!

A Return Trip

After staying on this CL 2016 we could not wait to make a return trip. Our ten days in June was once again very enjoyable. Mrs Wade provides a warm welcome and the views from the site are stunning. The walking in this area is excellent and the nearby Staithkinness Tavern is very welcoming and serves great food and drink. We are looking forward to visiting again. You can see our walks and places we visited on our blog https://twodogsandanawning.co.uk/site/knockhill-cl/

Great Views & a Warm Welcome

We stayed at Knockhill CL for a week in June.  Mrs Wade gave us a warm welcome and shared her local knowledge.  The site has outstanding views and has easy access to St Andrews and the surrounding areas.  The local pub The Straithkinness Tavern is well worth a visit, excellent food, good beer and a friendly welcome.  There is great walking all around this area with the Fife Coastal Path very accessible and the Lomond Hills just a short drive away.  You can see the walks that we did whilst staying here at our blog twodogsandanawning.co.uk/site/knockhill-cl/

Leuchars View 2

Another visit to this handy CL for St Andrews albeit only for one night this time. Nothing has changed since our last visit, all good. Things are changing at the military base across the water, the RAF seem to have downsized and retreated to Lossiemouth so aircraft noise must be significantly reduced. Mrs Wade on hand if needed.

Peace & Quiet

A lovely little site in what is the owners front garden, with great views over the River Eden and Leuchars. The site is grass but there are slabs laid for the caravan wheels, which solves levelling the van. There is a pub/restaurant in the village approx. half a mile from the site but no shops, these are in St Andrews about 4 miles away. At £12 pun you cannot go wrong staying here but you do need transport, but it is a superb CL

Leuchars View

Lovely view across the estuary towards Leuchars. Slightly sloping pitches but perfectly manageable. Owner was welcoming and helpful. Good cycle ride or 5-10 mins car journey to St Andrews for any provisions. Would have given 5 ticks for peace & tranquillity but for the "fly-pasts" by the planes from RAF Leuchars. Will return and would recommend.

A GEM

A wonderful view over RAF Leuchars the river Eden and St Andrews combined with a most friendly and helpful welcome. We stayed 4 weeks and it flew by. I would recommend the site to all members but book early as those who use it tend to return! A peaceful and beautiful site but with that comes a drive to the nearest shops (none in Strathkiness) and looking down over the estuary it is exposed. Local pub with food (1/2 mile) not tried but others on the site recommended it, easy approach even for bigger outfits, hard standings possible and needed for heavy outfits (but you may not have the same vista) convenient water and disposal arrangements. Some pitches slope but there are plenty of chocks and blocks available. We will return.
