A wee gem

This is a fabulous, quiet site in a beautiful setting. Close to good local shops, pubs and public transport as well as walking and cycling routes. A warm welcome from the owners and they are always happy to help with information or advice. Site is kept immaculate.

welcoming site

Robin and moyra gave a lovely scottish welcome on arrival. What a beautifully well kept site. So peaceful. Very hsndy for local bus to Edinburgh, bus stop only 5 minutes walk. Lovely scenery from site on edge of country park. Local shops adequate  and large shopping park only 10 minutes away by car. We will certainly be going back. Very easy to get to from motorway and main roads.

Superb CL

One of the best CLs we've stayed on.  We received a warm welcome and was surprised at the generous sized hard standings with lots of space between plots. The site is very quiet and handy for the village which has a Co-op, Post Office, Mini-Market and Gastro Pub. There is also a 24 hour Asda only 2 miles away.  The site is very handy for the Borders and, of course, Edinburgh which is only a 20 minutes drive.  There is also a regular bus service to Edinburgh and Penicuik.  The site is very well maintained and highly recommended.

Outstandingly delightful

This CL site must be the best in Scotland.  Robin and Moyra welcomed us more warmly than you can imagine which made up for the fact that it was snowing when we arrived at the end of March.  We needed somewhere to stay for four weeks of treatment at a hospital down towards Peebles.  Slatebarns is within reach of all we needed in the way of shopping and also a bus into Edinburgh.  The site is beautifully kept with well cut grass and gravelled hard standings.  The latter made all the difference as the weather for most of the month was miserable.  Another outstanding point was that rubbish and recycling are well catered for which makes all the difference.  A clean and efficient CDP made life easier for us.  Well done Robin and Moyra and than you so so much.

Everything Nearby Yet Peaceful

So much is on the doorstep: Really good woodland walks 150m from the gate, the village is only 5 minutes walk with shops, café and pub, Rosslyn Chapel about 50m and Roslin castle also very close. There are some interesting ruins to be found when walking round Roslin Glen Country Park. The site isn't huge, but it was very peaceful when we were there and the owner was extremely welcoming and friendly. We'll be recommending this site to friends, and we will be back.

hidden gem

What a superb site, run by a very friendly helpful couple, adjacent to Roslyn Chapel and a 5 minute walk from the village, which has a pub restaurant and a café. the bus stops outside these for buses to Edinburgh and Penicuik. There are plenty of walks through Roslyn Glen. This is definitely a site we would use again when we are in the area, all pitches are hardstanding with EHU's and there is a toilet on the site, an absolute gem of a site

June Visit

We spent 5 nights on this fine site. Although we had very heavy rain on day and the site was flooded for a while the water soon disappeared, and as all the pitches are hardstanding there were no problems.  There are walks down in Roslin Glen and along the old railway track towards Edinburgh, which is also a cycle way all the way into the city. For the more serious walker and mountain-bike rider the Pentland Hills are a short drive away. The nearest supermarket is Asda, 2 mls away along side an Ikea superstore. Would recommend this site for anyone wanting to visit Edinburgh, as the bus to the city is only 1/4 ml away.

Great base.

I may be a bit biased as I grew up in Roslin. This is a lovely little CL right beside the Chapel. The pitches are all hard standing and the grounds are well kept. Mr Crawford came out to meet us on arrival to make sure everything was OK. There is a WC on site,and lots of local information. The addition of a shower would make this a fantastic CL.  There is a big site next door which is open April until October but I think the CL is better especially at £12 a night. The big site re-opened last year and was formerly a Caravan Club site. Roslin has the expected local pubs and shops and there are larger shops a short distance away. It can get busy at the Chapel which can make access a bit awkward.  Other than that it is straight forward to find. Just continue past the chapel and round the corner. Watch the turn out the CL field on the way out as it is a bit tight with a large van so care is needed. The advantage of this CL and the big site is that you can still get a bus into Edinburgh about 200m walk from the site. Unlike Edinburgh Caravan Club site.

We stayed in January 2014 and it was cold. The van was nice and cosy though.
