This site is a hidden gem, very quiet and peaceful and is a few miles outside of North Berwick, so if your looking for a busy and noisy site then please do not book here, it might not be good for teenagers either as they will get bored as there only outlet is the beach, which was fantastic.
We had 4 nights here and packed in a great deal
Walk into North Berwick along the beach took us about an hour and had lunch at the seabird sanctuary, really lovely place and great food and views out to sea. Highly recommended
Walked back through the town and caught the bus back to Dirleton. Stopped off at the castle in now under new management and had an evening meal, it was lovely and the pub has a really nice feel to it and the young staff were excellent as was the food.
Long walk back to the site took about 25 mins but nice as the sun was beginning to set.
Took the long walk to Dirleton and the bus to Edinburgh, took aver an hour but it was nice just looking at the villages and gardens en-route before arriving at Waverley station. nice walk-around the sites in Edinburgh. Lunch and toilet break in M&S where the food was good, cafe a little busy as was he city high street. Took a nice stroll through the grass market which has lots of nice bars and cafes, tree lined with many places to stop and take in the views. Had dinner in the local open arms hotel opposite the Dirleton castle very nice
Spent a day on the beach and its really easy to go for a few hours and come back to the site for lunch and then take in the John Muir walk into North Berwick or Gullane if you go the opposite way. Good spot for star gazing too as there in low levels of night light pollution.
Nice facilities and spotless as expected, wardens were constantly working hard to keep it looking great on quite a big site but its all split into smaller quite private cul-d-sacs which made it feel much better that a large open expanse. You can choose trees or open air but please arrive early, we got there at 1230 for a 1300 opening and were 11th in the queue of arrivals that day and just as many behind us by 1320 when we eventually booked in, but it was worth the wait.
Will be back for longer next time
