Nice Christmas break

We stayed for 3 days between Christmas and New Year. Weather was generally good, 2 crisp clear days the third being slightly overcast but still cold.The site has all the usual Club facilities and the wardens were cheerful and friendly. We have only given 4 stars for peace and quiet due to the proximity to Edinburgh airport, the site is below the inbound flightpath so there is some noise during the day time, it didn't bother us but I thought it worth mentioning. At this time of year the site looks particularly nice in the evening, many units having coloured lights and all sorts of decorations inside and out. The only glitch was on our final night the whole site power supply kept failing, it happened about 4 times so we turned our heating onto gas only, the wardens did an excellent job going around the units requesting people do the same. It may be a coincidental failure but after this occurrence the on off switch on our Thetford SES fridge has become inoperable. We spent two days in Edinburgh using the minibus from the site, £5 per person return, leaving every half hour from 9.30 to 11.30am and returning from 4.30 to 6.30pm. We have a motorhome so this is ideal for us, the only down side I can see is that the bus only takes 8 and you can't pre book so get to the stop early! Failing that the bus stop is 10 to 15 minute walk, the fare being £3.00 return or £3.50 for an all day rider. Edinburgh has lots to do, especially at this time of year with the Christmas market. This is our second trip to the area and we discovered parts of Edinburgh that we bypassed on our last visit. The third day was spent walking along the coast of the Firth of Forth up to Cramond and the Cramond Inn for lunch, nice log fire. Overall a good three day break.
