We had a really lovely stay in this cosy cottage tucked away in a quiet, private spot. The owners were super friendly and always on hand if we needed anything, but it still felt peaceful and secluded. The hot tub was a great bonus after a long day cycling around the area! Just a heads up, it’s right under Stansted’s flight path, so there’s quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didn’t bother us much once we got used to it, but if you're sensitive to noise, it might be worth considering. Overall, we’d definitely come back!

Fantastic reception from Ian. Really helpful. Thank you

Lovely quiet campsite, located perfectly for visiting surrounding areas.

Excellent - very helpful staff, the hot tub was checked every day. Furnishings in the lodge were good, comfy beds with lovely cotton bed linen and good pillows, which was great, given the heat we were experiencing. Excellent kitchen facilities and the 2 shower rooms were good as well. Park and Ride to Edinburgh was close by and you have a choice of train (10mins) or bus (60 mins). We would certainly book again.

Lovely place very clean and has everything you need for a enjoyable holiday. We would go again.

Loved the lodge staff great

The staff were so friendly and helpful. Lovely peaceful surroundings on a beautiful site, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The best lodge and hot tub we have been to highly recommended looking to book again

beautiful lodge, lovely area, great position for visiting other places .

What a fantastic place to stay , the lodge was beautiful it had recently been renovated to a high standard, all the rooms were spacious and the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms, the kitchen has everything you will need including washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets,tea towels and sanitizer. The hot tub is checked twice a day by the very nice wardens who answer any questions you might have, we were in the hot tub twice a day it was fab.If we were to come back to Scotland i would defiantly come back here.

We had the most Amazing relaxing holiday. The Campsite was clean and tidy, the staff were helpful and friendly and our Lodge was very luxurious

The Lodges were being renovated and the one we stayed in was next to be done. With that in mind - the lodge was a good size and clean. There wasn’t any spare kitchen cupboards for food, it was a well equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. The hot tub was old and not all the jets worked, it was checked 2 x per day for chemicals! There was no Wi-Fi and the phone signal was poor - walk up to next lodge/tent area and it was better. The lodge definitely needed refurbishment, however it was a really nice, well kept and quiet site. Easy to get into Edinburgh and surrounding areas. We would stay again - the refurbished Lodges, we were told, all having new hot tubs fitted!

Loverly lodge with all facilities required for a self catering break, recently been refurbished some snagging issues which could do with being addressed. Plenty to do in this area and Edinburgh only a short drive or hop on the bus. Nice restaurants nearby and most will deliver to the park enterance. Would definatly recommend this park as it has the best of both worlds, peace and quiet with the option of a base for a more active break.

Fantastic 4 day break over the new year.

Great site. Friendly and helpful staff
