Excellent CL with stunning views of the Bass Rock and the Firth of Forth

Lovely CL with stunning views over the Firth of Forth. Well organised. We were given a warm welcome. Easy access from the A1 but far enough away, up a hill, to be quiet.

A little gem of a CL

A lovely little CL on a busy working farm, but with stunning views over Dunbar, Bass Rock and beyond. There was a lovely welcome from Mrs Gilchrist and she works hard to keep the site looking neat and tidy. There was no noise from the A1 - the only reason we gave a 4/5 for peace and tranquility was the grain dryer ran late into the night...but it is a farm afterall so nothing that ear plugs couldn't resolve! Easy access to local attractions and if you want to go to Edinburgh the train from Dunbar was an absolute pleasure to use. Visit the coves around if you like wildlife and St. Abs was a lovely trip out too, with a fab walk along the coastal path. Thank you Mrs Gilchrist - we hope to be back again one day.

Beautiful site with fantastic viewd

We loved this site. It has easy access from the A1, it has fantastic views across to Bass Rock and Dunbar - even better if you climb nearby Doon Hill! We were made to feel really welcome by the owner who also told us of all the best places to go in the area. 8 days of bliss & lovely Scottish scenery & attractions. It was also an easy day out by train & tram to Edinburgh and the Royal Yacht Britannia. Thanks for a fabulous holiday

A one nightstopover

Booking the site was easy with the owner who was very pleasant. The site is exactly as described. Part of a working farm but very quiet with lovely views over Dunbar and the sea. The site is flat and well maintained. Whilst quite close to the A1 we did not hear any road noise. A lovely sunset finished our evening. There is a nice walk up to Doonhill if you have the energy!?

Lovely site

Back for our annual long weekend at West Meikle Pinkerton and it never disappoints. The site sits on the hill overlooking Dunbar and has outstanding views, however this is also the site only down site - it is totally exposed to the elements. Easy to find, just 1/2 mile from the A1 but high enough that you never hear the road. 2 minute drive to Dunbar and miles of dog walking or cycling from the site. Grass pitches with ehu and closes for the winter. Be aware that the price on the CAMC website is from 2014 and it's now £20 per night.

Great stay

Had a lovely 5 nights here. Easy access from A1 but no traffic noise. Great views of the sea. Well located for visiting nearby family. This is a site I am sure we will revisit in the future.

Fantastic outlook

This was our second visit to West Meikle Pinkerton and certainly wont be our last. A lovely quiet location sitting in an elevated position with stunning views over the Firth of Forth. The site is very easy to find and access with lots of room. It's just a mile or so to Dunbar and ASADA to get all he shopping you have forgotten! Great walking and cycling routes by heading inland to the Lammermuir Hills and teh lovely quiet single track roads and tracks serving the windfarms. The A1 is busy and more difficult to cross if you want toe head to teh coast but there are plenty lovely beaches within a short drive. It just a few minutes drive to Dunbar to correct all that shopping you have forgotten!! Host Kaye is attentive without being intrusive. Remember that this is a working farm (like many CL's) and there will be occasional tractors and machinery moving around. Site fee is now £18/night (first rise for years) and is still worth the money. We have never been charged for and awning so not sure is the other review is quoting the right site!

A lovely site

This was a great place to stay. We received a lovely welcome and the field was well kept and organised. There was a great field for our dog to have a run in and some beautiful views across to the Bass Rock. We had a lovely sunset too. The only downside was the noise from the grain drier but we had been warned about this from other reviews so lived with it ok for one night. This is a working farm with delightful owners.

The good the bad and the ugly!

The good Lovely well kept site, grass neatly cut. Extensive views over surrounding hills, and Dunbar, a lovely local town, can be seen in the distance. The bad. The CAMC book states £14 pitch and all, but we were charged and extra £5 per night for an awning. If you are booking and have an awning, check the charges. The ugly. There were 6 caravans/camper vans on site for 8 out of the 10 nights that we stayed. Avoid harvest time, August/September, unless you enjoy living next to what sounds like a jet engine, as the crop drying machine was running anytime from 6am till 8pm. You won't need an alarm clock! We tried to find an alternative site after a couple of days, but nothing was available.

Lovely site with plenty of room

Our only mistake was not booking to stay longer than we did. Lovely level field with loads of space and stunning views. On a working farm which adds a bit of interest. A warm welcome got our break off to a good start and we just loved being here. I am sure it will become a regular for us
