Why stay here ...

Springlee is situated in the heart of the Scottish Borders in a rural location on a small working farm surrounded by stunning views of the countryside and rolling hills. The 1 acre site is sloping with a mixture of lawned and hardstanding pitches all with electric hook-ups and space for awnings etc. There is a public footpath/track which runs adjacent to the site which is suitable for dog walkers.

Springlee is an ideal base for exploring the central Borders and beyond. The towns of Melrose, Galashiels, Kelso and Jedburgh are all within easy reach offering cafes, galleries, restaurants, artisian shopping, local produce and supermarkets.

On our doorstep is Smailholm Tower, Scotts View one of Sir Walter Scott's favourite views of the Eildon Hills and a short drive to Abbottsford House and Visitor Centre his ancestrol home, Dryburgh Abbey and the River Tweed.

For cycling enthusiasts we are only a short cylce away from joining the Tweed Cycle Route, the 4 Abbeys Cycle Route and Melrose Cycling Trials. Walkers are also well catered for wether it be a local path around the towns and countryside or for the more strenuous the Borders Abbeys Way a circular walking route (109km/68miles) or St Cuthbert's Way (100km/62.5miles) Melrose to Holy Island in Northumberland to name but two. There are also many golf courses in the surrounding area and for those who like a day out at the races, Kelso race course is only 8 miles away.

Edinburgh is within easy reach under an hours drive, under an hour on the new Borders Railway from Tweedbank (6 miles) or from the nearest bus stop in Earlston (3 miles).

Springlee is a minimum 3 night stay.

Well spaced pitches, good views, good for independent types

Just finished a 9 night stay at this site. Lovely setting, great views and well kept (although grass clippings not collected so you track them in to awning and collect them wheeling water barrels over grass). Not sure why there's a 3 night minimum stay as there were empty pitches... Show more

Minimum nights stay applies

Having read reviews and decided to book last minute there is a 3 night minimum stay. Hopefully next time I'm in the area I can try this site with good reviews.

First 10 KwH Electricity Free

We originally booked for 2 nights - but in the end extended it to 4 as the day after we arrived it rained constantly. Pam informed us when we booked that the price was £18pn - and that each pitch had an allocation of 10 KwH of electricity per day,... Show more

Excellent CL site with lovely views

Stayed 8 nights at this lovely well kept site. Warm welcome from owner Pam. Lovely views over the countryside. We were 5th unit to arrive on the day we travelled and had to pitch on quite a slope but managed to finally get level. Very good chemical disposal and recycling bins.... Show more

Just home from a great stay at Springlee…there is nothing you can fault about this Site. It is a quiet location, there is minimal road noise but you honestly don’t notice it. The Site is maintained to a very high standard with plenty of space between pitches. I would highly... Show more

Excellent Base For Exploring the Borders

Having dogs, we usually base our choice of CLs on those which have a decent dog walk direct from site. This was ideal in that there is a farm track right next to the site which was rarely used by vehicles so was great for walking the dogs. ... Show more
