Great site for Edinburgh

I want to start by saying a massive Thank You to Ray, he helped us out at the last minute when we were let down by the site we were booked in. This site is perfect for Edinburgh, as said before it’s £8 return per person with Graham, but that is door to door service, yes the bus is cheaper as it always will be, but it is a tidy walk to the stop. The pitches are large, we fitted our twin axle and 3m awning and car comfortably. The facilities were very clean, I could not fault them, a little dated but tons of hot water. The site is under an air path but I’ll be honest after the first few hours you don’t notice them at all, and it’s something I would normally notice. As for Asylum seekers at a hotel, yes so what, they bothered nobody, it was families. It’s a great walk along the promenade and dogs are allowed on the beach. Every member of staff I spoke to where very helpful and friendly. Thank you Ray for saving our holiday *****

Pricey for what you get

This was our first experience of a caravan and motorhome club site after joining this year. Unfortunately during our stay I cancelled any further membership as I was disappointed with the value for money, it is costly to stay here and as other reviewers have mentioned you are On a busy flight path for Edinburgh airport, and there are two homeless hostels directly opposite the site which gives a feel of a run down area. The shower and toilet block was kept nice and clean but it was dated and in need of some repairs. No shop on site even though it claims to have one it is merely a couple of shelves with UHT milk, Pringles and a couple of tinned items and a domestic freezer with some ice creams. The electric on the site is clearly an issue no more than 1 appliance at a time and the shower block lost all power needing to be closed on our last evening, there was a slightly smaller block on the other side of the site but with so many people needing to use it, it became an issue. We used the minibus and Graham was a great character but it was quite expensive also at £8 each return where the public bus was £3.60 each return. No near shops for supplies, a good 25 minute walk to Morrisons along the unlit path. We loved Edinburgh but would not stay at this site if visiting again in the future.

Second stay

We have just returned from a 9 day stay at the site and it was every bit as good as we remembered from 5 years ago. The Wardens are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Just want to call out a massive thanks to Ian & Michelle who took pity on us and ran us to the car hire depot when we were let down by the taxi company - and they were on the way in their motorhome to their next relief warden jobs in Kendal! That really is going the extra mile! The facilities on site are spotless and the grounds kept in tip top order. Bus stops are a short walk away and at £1.80 single fare, a real bargain. We only had the car hire for half our stay so relied on the bus in and out of town with no complaints. The aircraft noise is there but to be honest it didn’t really affect us and we tuned out to it after a couple of days. It stops about 11pm and doesn’t start until 6.30/7.00 am so no big issues - unless you live in the middle of nowhere! Some visit tips - Edinburgh Zoo, Edinburgh Botanical Gardens, Falkirk Wheel and The Kelpies, The Real Mary King’s Close underground Tour, afternoon tea on The Fingal ship at Ocean Terminal. We had a great time but unfortunately won’t be back as whilst we were away we sold the motorhome and she is shortly moving onto pastures new for new adventures. Thank you Edinburgh site for making our last motorhome holiday a great success.

ished e could have stayed longer

We only had 1 night here on our route home and we wished we could have more time here. A lovely walk down to Crammond promenade and very dog friendly. Tide depending you can walk out to Crammond Island too. Crammond falls a few minutes drive away also. From the site there is a return mini bus to Edinburgh at times to suit most and a regular bus service runs not to far away. The site was very clean and well laid out with good facilities. Glad to see the bins are still on site, we find this makes it easier to recycle. The only down side was the proximity to Edinburgh Airport and the planes going over. They did seem to be quiet overnight. The staff were very helpful when we arrived, its was sol lovely to be greeted with a smile. Our pitch size was adequate for our needs. We need to go back and explore more.

Nice Site

Friendly and helpful Staff on arrival. Pitches were a good size. Facilities were clean and tidy. There were planes overhead during the day and evening but this stopped at night. However, the road to the site was in a dreadful state with pot holes, uneven filling in, lumps and bumps, were told by the site staff that this is not something they can control and to contact the Council. The Cramond beach area was a short walk from the site and had a lovely beach with the opportunity of spotting a few wading birds and Herons. All in all a good site.

TAKE EARPLUGS! THE PLANES WILL KEEP YOU AWAKE

Stayed here for two nights while visiting family in Edinburgh. The site was nice, staff were lovely and toilet block was spotless, but the planes flying over every few minutes at low altitude, day and night, drove us nuts! It’s a real shame as the site is really close to everything you need in Edinburgh. Sadly, we will not be returning!

One night in Edinburgh

Stayed at the Edinburgh site for one night only, it was a stop off on the way to another club site. This is a lovely site in a great location with good facilities, ideal for visiting the city. Only major issue for us was the noise of aircraft landing and taking off from the nearby city airport throughout the night, and whilst not something the club can do anything about, it should be specifically mentioned on the site write-up so that people are aware of it before booking.

Great place with excellent public transport links a short walk away

We stayed here for 4 nights recently over the 'Edinburgh Marathon Festival' time and were very impressed with everything. A friendly welcome from polite staff, pitches very nicely spaced out, easy access to the necessary facilities and a short walk to the nearby beach for our dog, too. There are a number of buses leaving from various bus stops about a 5-10 minute walk away, which meant we could just park up on site and leave the motorhome there. We've booked again for next year!

Lovely site - everything you need

Stayed for 5 nights, extended from 3 nights as we were having such a great time! Pitches are a great size, the staff were all so helpful and the toilets blocks were spotless. The minibus from the site into and back from Edinburgh was a great bonus, the driver was ace! We also took the mainline bus into the city one day which was about a 15 minute walk from the site. Can’t wait to return!

Cheery welcome

Spent 2 days at this site on our quick tour of Scotland..Reception was very pleasant and the young couple on duty very cheerful and friendly. The site itself was clean and tidy as were the facilities.Staff working very hard to keep site tidy. Worth mentioning though is the need perhaps for 2 washing machines and 2 dryers in both toilet blocks as there was a queue for the 1 lot in use whilst I was using it. Handy site if you need to visit the city with a bus stop within 10 min walk. Beautiful walk to Crammond and environs.
