Date of Visit: July 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Dangerousbryman 14 reviews from this member

 Excellent site in a fantastic location. 5 minutes walk from the sea, 10 minutes or so to Dirleton, and a great walk across the John Muir Way to North Berwick.

You could walk onto the fantastic golden beach near Fidra Isle and think you were in the Med. We went crabbing among the rocks (always on the incoming tide) and caught 89 of the wee nippers in just over an hour.

Wardens friendly and helpful. Some pitches laid out in smaller sheltered areas. Wild rabbits abound. Toilets etc very clean and plenty enough of them.

Dirleton pub, the Castle Inn wee bit tourist priced but good beer even if the food edges towards city prices.

North Berwick a great wee town with a beautiful and historic harbour.

A real gem of a site.

 2 night stay here on a weekend, site was fully booked but did not feel crowded, pitches had plenty of space.

Facilities were spotless, alternatives available when they were closed for cleaning.

5 minute walk to beach which is stunning, nice walks to Dirleton, North Berwick or Gullane.

Dirleton is a lovely village with a castle. Would recommend booking if you want to eat in the village in the evening.

North Berwick is worth visiting,

Will definitely return

 Stayed at this site for Ten Days and it is the first time we have used a caravan club Site and were we impressed? All facilities are well maintained and clean

The site is situated close to the beach and woodland. we never heard or saw any negatives with other caravanner's etc. The Reception were most helpful

Dirleton and North Berwick are excellent towns with the Butchers in the latter being out of this world and very friendly! Definitely will go back for another stay here.

 We were lucky to visit this site during a sunny weekend and that just added to the pleasant experience. Nicely laid out pitches in small clusters and lovely clean toilet facilities.

The beach is very close by and you can walk to North Berwick, which is itself a nice little town. The charming village of Dirleton is even nearer and there's a convenient path to it from the site.

My only gripe, as someone who's gone past the kids stage, was the number of them on site. However that's to be expected given the location and not really a complaint, more a 'warning' for anyone looking for peace and quiet.

Reviewer: Sssnake 43 reviews from this member

 This was our second visit, the first being in September last year, having taken a couple of weeks holiday in North Berwick for the last 6 years or so.

Fabulous site in a beautiful location. Wardens on both visits were really helpful and friendly. Bathroom and laundry facilities are excellent. Superb wardens and bathrooms being the norm for CC sites in our experience.

The site is flat and open to the elements and the wind fair rips down the Firth sometimes so be prepared for a blustery experience more often than not.

The nearby village has a lovely pub / restaurant The Castle that serves good food and hand pulled ale, the Belhaven 80 Shilling is particularly good.

Dirleton is a mile from the site and served by a bus service that'll whisk you to Edinburgh in an hour or N. Berwick in ten mins. The owners of the village shop / Post Office are lovely - very helpful and friendly.

The beach is a ten minute walk and absolutely gorgeous.

We will be returning in October for another visit.

Reviewer: Seade 8 reviews from this member

 This site turned out to be a real gem. The wardens were friendly and helpful and suggested a pitch that suited our needs perfectly! The pitching areas are screened from each other by grassy banks, fences and shrubs, so no area feels crowded. We thought it was a particularly well run site.

The shower block was superb and when closed for cleaning, there was a toilet opposite available. Children seemed well catered for on site. The glory of this site is that it is a 5 minute walk from a lovely sandy beach, complete with rock pools and birdwatching opportunities. Yellowcraig Country Park also offers walks and a further adventure style playground for children.

North Berwick is a lovely seaside town and home to the Scottish Seabird Centre. When we were there Bass Rock looked as if it was covered in snow, which turned out to be gannets! There is a putting green on the seafront and pipe band concerts take place during some evenings. There is a Tesco supermarket, takeaways and restaurants. Edinburgh isn't far, nor are the Scottish Borders. The views over the Firth of Forth from the Lammermuir Hills are spectacular.

Reviewer: Buckingham30 11 reviews from this member

 Just enjoyed a wonderful stay (5 nights) at this site. We were delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, and left a message the day before we set off, and also spoke to one of the wardens to say we were running late. She advised us clearly and in a friendly and efficient manner about our options.

Although the site is large (our largest so far) because it is divided into several areas, it does not feel big, but quite low key and friendly. Because we booked at a quieter time of year the warden gave us a choice of several pitches and recommended one nearest to the toilet block, which was highly convenient.

The site has toilet facilities, washing up area, laundry area and recycling/disposal areas. There was literally lashings of hot water for washing up. The toilets were spotless and the showers lovely and warm (which is one of the criteria I use for accommodation; if the showers are good, then usually everything else is).

The wardens were helpful if you needed them, everything was very well organised and maintained. There were a lot of notices enforcing rules, but this was for the good of everyone and I didn't find it restrictive.

For our dogs there was a huge field to walk around the perimeter (children's play area inside) and a beautiful 10 minute walk to the beach through the woods. There was also a small children's play area near to our pitch, safely fenced off.

There is an information hut, a public telephone and a small shop at reception with essential supplies if you run out (which we didn't use).

The village of Dirleton is a mile away and it has a shop/post office, and two pubs. We had a meal at the Castle Inn (highly recommended for food, service and value).

During our stay we visited North Berwick and the Seabird Centre, Dunbar, and the Museum of Flight. Edinburgh is convenient on the train, although we didn't visit this time.

All in all, wonderful site in wonderful area!

Reviewer: Crusader2607 8 reviews from this member

 One of our favourite sites and fortunately just over an hour from our door so one we use 2 or 3 times a season from Fri - Sun or longer if possible. Attraction for us is the location, Dirleton is picturesque and North Berwick only a few miles away.
Large central toilet block is always spotless, warm and the showers hot. Good play area for kids and another just outside the park as the site is next to Yellowcraig Country Park.
Best bit for us is the beach - 10 mins walk and views over to Fife are great. Pity they could not move the site next to the beach so these could be enjoyed from your pitch! Plenty to do in the area and Edinburgh is only minutes away if the weather is wet. The aviation museum with Concorde is well worth a visit at East Fortune, as is East Links family park near Dunbar.

Reviewer: Carousel 25 reviews from this member

 We had high hopes for this site and its location is lovely with access to a wide uncrowded beach. We liked the little pitching area albeit quite bumpy and lumpy! The pitches did seem rather squashed in probably because there were no hedges or other demarcation of the end of one pitch and the beginning of another.

The facilities were of the usual C.C. High standard and there was an excellent dog walking area.

We visited in the high season and the site was full but notices warned parents that children must return to their tents and vans at designated time and the site was quiet as a result in the late evening.

North Berwick itself is worth a visit with a good selection of shops and the necessary Tescos.

It's certainly worth visiting this site and it's conveniently near the A1 if you are heading up or down the country.

Reviewer: WILLIAMTHEBRAVE 5 reviews from this member

 This being our first caravan trip, we would highly recommend this site, staff were so friendly and very eager to help us. Site was very well maintained, the toilet and shower block was cleaned often and was spotless throughout .Site was also in excellent location for touring to edinburgh, north berwick and other surrounding areas. The beach which is only 5min from site is superb very clean and unspoilt.
