Date of Visit: August 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: The LB 19 reviews from this member

 If you want a caravan park neat and tidy and well run and ever so peaceful with village with shops and pubs and countryside to die for this is it. Area is stunning plenty walks from site.

Site itself is not that big but it is perfect for chill out break and very well looked after

The owners do a great job showers are well updated and spotless site also has 3 resident ducks who are well looked after.

Village has spar butcher post office hardware and newsagent 2 cafes and 3 pubs so plenty of places to spend your cash. Hawick is a nice drive about 20 miles and a nice town. But best of all is the peace and quiet. I will return great site.

Reviewer: Rusl 12 reviews from this member

 This is a lovely site, with friendly and very helpful owners. The site is partly landscaped and seems to be constantly maintained - weed-spraying and wall-painting were in progress while I was there.

Toilets are immaculate and the shower rooms (cubicles seems too small a word!) are probably the best I've seen.

There are plenty of water points. Pitches are a good size and all have power; some have TV aerial hook-up. One end of the site feels a little more private than the other (although the crows in the trees behind can make a bit of a racket, and there is currently a building site on one side), but the other end has a more open outlook.

There is a little summer-house with lots of leaflets and other information about things to see and do in and around Newcastleton, and reception has books on walking in the area and reference maps.

No shop on-site (but fresh eggs for sale) but there are shops in the village, including a Costcutter, a newsagent / grocer and a hardware shop, within 5-10 minutes walk. There are also a few places to eat and drink, including the two hotels and the pub. The Grapes Hotel currently has an 'early bird' evening menu. As others have said, the locals are all very friendly.

I did feel a little out of place here, since absolutely everyone else had, as far as I could determine, a minimum of one dog, but these were never a nuisance in any way.

I really enjoyed my short stay at this site and hope to return soon.

 Our first time at this lovely site and proof what a useful asset UKCampsite.co.uk reviews are, as majority comments of others are borne out as 100% correct.

No point in us repeating what others have said/say about the site; immaculate, well maintained, great wardens, and even the comment (repeated several time) that the locals are most friendly ever. All true in abundance.

Not too much to do in Newcastleton unless you are into walking or mountain biking, for us mountain biking was the main reason for the visit, hence had a great time and we will return.

 First time visitors. Very clean site and excellent facilities. Be careful not to drive on the grass when manoeuvring caravan as the manager is not a happy chappie about it.

Also read the instructions about the gate too Ha ha.

We had a brilliant time and weather was great. The villagers are so friendly and helpful.

Its worth a trip to eskdalemuir to visit the tibetan centre. Beautiful place and an experience to try.

I went with adult party but if I had children to take, the ducks are good but no play area.

 Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic! A truly superb site. Beautifully lanscaped, Level pitches (some serviced) surrounding duck ponds with I must say the best toilet/shower facilities I have ever had the pleasure to use - spotless at all times. The site is a credit to Eddie & Shona who themselves are very friendly and helpful and work tirelessly to ensure a top class site. The site is within the village of Newcastleton and again we were warmly welcomed by all local residents and never felt like strangers! Local shops/pubs/hotels are a mere 2 minute walk from the site - all dog friendly which for us was a huge bonus! Also, plenty of dog walks in local and surrounding areas. An excellent location for outdoor activities such as cycling, canoeing, fishing and walking. We will definitely be using this site again and would not hesitate in recommending. Well worth a visit!

Date of Visit: January 2012 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Truffle96 6 reviews from this member

 Perhaps I shouldn't be writing this review ;since I have been visiting Lidalia since 1996 I might be a little biased. This is my personal benchmark for all other sites I have visited and I cannot fault it. Newcastleton, or Copshaw Holm is one of the most friendly villages in the universe and the owner is a well loved and popular local character. He runs Lidalia with his daughter and the family is often to be seen. The site, situated on what was the goods yard of the past railway is kept in an impeccable fashion. The new, highly modern toilet blocks are kept spotlessly clean and hygienic by a fastidious them. They will bend over backwards to assist anyone staying on the site and are lovely people.

The site is peaceful and perfect for those with dogs. It is very child friendly in my opinion. The New Year/Hogmany celebrations hosted by the owner for the campsite and village community is worth a review in itself. There are 2 popular cafes the bars. The Grapes Hotel has links to Lidalia and a visit to Newcastleton cannot be complete without going into The Grapes for at least a drink. The town of Hawick is not exactly a buzzing metropolis but I love to visit. There are basic shops and a few cafes and bars for those who require them. Personally, I prefer to treat a 'run up to Eddie's' as a kind of relaxing retreat or stroll by the river Lidd to skim stones. Book early, everyone loves Lidalia. Not a place for those who want to tread the light fantastic apart from during the Traditional Music Festival, first weekend in July.

Reviewer: Rallye550 3 reviews from this member

 One of my favourite sites and we visit at least 4 times a year

Lovely lay out and not too big.

Generous pitches

(Top Tip No 36 overlooking the pond is fully serviced and my favourite)

Some fully serviced and only £1 extra a night

Some have TV hook up but digital TV is available using an ariel.

Lots of water and waste points.

Great dog walks. 1 in the middle and 1 at the end of the site.

Great walks all round 5 mins to the riverside.

Fantastic new ladies toilet block opened 2011 with 3 wet rooms that include a wash basin and toilet and a separate toilet only room as well

Underfloor heating means its always toasty hot

The old ladies/gents toilet block has now been totally refitted and opened in time for New Year 2011-2012. Again with all inclusive wet rooms, separate toilet only rooms and urinals

Totally disabled friendly

Hats off to Shona who keeps the place pristine

The site itself is immaculately kept Eddie and Shona work hard and always make you feel so welcome. Nothing is ever a bother.

Very reasonable priced

Right in the heart of the village

Wi-Fi available at cost

Open all year

There's usually an organised function on Hogmany for any who wish to attend

5 mins to the 2 hotels and about 7 mins to the pub where there's always a warm welcome from the locals

Bar prices are reasonable and food of a good -quality is reasonably priced in the hotels. Cheaper available in the pub along the road.

(They all do take away too)

All establishments are dog friendly

Free Wi-Fi in both hotels

5 mins to a great butchers (You must try Elliot's sausages), the shop, bakers, iron mongers

Totally flat on site and in the village.

25 mins from Hawick. Where you will find the bigger shops Etc.

Cons :

I struggle with this but must be objective

No children's facilities on site

No petrol garage in the village the nearest is 8 miles away in Langholm. Where you'll find a big Co-op too

I loath to post this review in case you all flock there and I can't get booked. No seriously I recommend this site 100%

Reviewer: Templer 2 reviews from this member

 Really nice site, very friendly, clean and well maintained.

The shower blocks are absolutely superb and comprise of your own large cubicle.

Newcastleton is nice for a meal out in the evening with the Grapes being our favourite, fantastic food and big portions !

Good area for mountain biking as plenty of trails in the area. If in Hawick visit the little museum in the park as they have a TT riders section. Great

Reviewer: Twadugsnaeweans 2 reviews from this member

 This is definitely a 5 star site and a credit to the owners hard work and imagination. Immaculate grounds, all hard standing. A friendly, helpful chap whose good humour must transmit to his campers as everyone we met was friendly and seemed very happy with their visit to the site. The ladies showers are incredible, being 4 individual wet rooms with lots of hot water. We were honoured to watch the resident red squirrel feeding on 2 occasions. The local hotels, in easy walking distance, both sold a decent pint and catered for the dogs with water bowl and dog biscuits. Plenty of shops and a very well stocked butcher, excellent black pudding.

Reviewer: Chrissyeh51 14 reviews from this member

 This was our second visit to this site, the first having been in the snow at New Year and once again we were amazed by the friendliness of the villagers and the site owners - nothing appears too much trouble for anybody.

Eddie & his daughter Shona work tirelessly to ensure that the site and facilities are kept immaculate yet they always have time for a chat and a laugh.

The site is situated at one end of the village and is well laid out with flowers,shrubs and a couple of unfenced ponds. All pitches are hard standing but they do vary in size. We have always had a pitch allocated when we arrive but this is something we don't mind - I know some people prefer to have a choice.

The much needed new toilet and shower facilities were in the process of being built whilst we were there and it shouldn't be long before they are in use. The laundry facilities are the best and cheapest that I have come across in our travels.

Newcastleton has got to be the friendliest place we have visited. It has several shops including a small general store, butchers, post office, bank and hardware shop - sorry, if I've missed anyone out. There is a pub, British Legion and two hotels. We can recommend the food in the Grapes but are unable to comment on the other eating places as we haven't visited them yet. There is a bus service to Hawick and Carlisle. There is plenty of walking in the area and you can purchase a booklet locally describing some of the routes.

My only disappointment is that I haven't spotted a red squirrel yet - I guess we will have to return to this site again.
