Basic but did the job

This was our final CL site on our way back home from Hastings to Aberdeen. We found the CL easy enough with the directions in the handbook. I was not expecting much following the reviews. Yes there is a narrow road down to the farm and you do pass the falling down buildings however we managed to get through. We were booked in and when we arrived there was a motorhome and 2 vans on the grass, one of the vans was parked almost in the middle of the field which was not very helpful for folks trying to maneouvre, and a van on the hardstanding. We managed to park and set up with no problems. Chap came round and collected the money - seemed pleasant. The ground was fairly uneven but hey ho it was only for a night. We had a raspberry bush at the back of the van - forgot to try them. There was the usual chemical and water disposal and water and EHU everything we needed. There was a toilet and shower - as said before very basic and rustic - in what appears to be a shed which has beem whitewashed - it has a shower along with a toilet and the sink - very functional, reasonaly clean considering. There was a light on a timer - we were advised by a chap to take our own torch there at night as the light would go out on you. I had planned to use the shower however the swallows nest put me off! This was a cheap and cheerful site very basic, easy access off the M74 and fulfilled out needs for a one night stop over on the way hom. Would I use it again, yes, we have the facilities in our van and all we needed was a stop over. I would not personally use this for a longer stay but that is just me. Everyone has their different likes and dislikes but this place has been a CL for a long time so must be doing something right. Don't go expecting a 5* CC site this is a very basic and rustic site and if you happy showering and sharing the facilities with the wildlife then you have no worries. We had a very nice comfortable night in our van on this site what more could you ask for :-)

Peace full

When we arrived we was welcomed with a very friendly greeting. The site is very peace and tranquil and we had a 100 acres to walk our two dogs in....keeping to the country code of course. We have been on sites much worse that this site . For the price It is very good value and we shall be back.

Lovely little site.

This is a 'no frills' CL site (as all CL sites are), in the heart of a working farm. I only spent one night here, but would have been more than happy to stay a week. The road into the CL was no problem at all (I drive an18 foot motorhome with overhang), and surprising for a little CL site, it had both a toilet and a shower (basic, but did the job). I was made to feel more than welcome by the owner, and loved the view over the fields from my little secluded pitch. This is a site i will be happily returning to.

A good one nighter

Collierhall Farm CL site is located just 7 minutes from junction 12 of the A74(M). On first impressions, a bit tight in negotiating around the farm out house, however, once located in the field, the ambience of the surrounding countryside left us feeling relaxed and contented, especially after the long drive. One shower and one toilet, though adequate for a one night stop over, left a lot to be desired as long as you don't mind an outbuilding and all it's residential insect in habitants! Reasonably maintained with hook ups, waste disposal, WC and shower. Conclusion: a very good one night stop over.

NOT FOR A LONG STAY

Thia is a very quiet, cheap site, convenient for an overnight stop but the facilities and surroundings, while adequate, are scarcely conducive to a longer stay.

Satisfied Caravanner

We have stopped here on a couple of occasions when travelling north. The site is just 2 mls off M74 but it's a very quiet site. We had no problems with the EHU, and there are a couple of hardstanding pitches, suitable for motorhomes, as well as a toilet and free shower. The site is within easy driving distance of New Lanark (World Heritage Site), the Falls of Clyde, and for those interested in horseracing, Lanark Racecourse. The site lies behind the farm buildings which are a bit delapidated and care is need if driving a large outfit. The fields behind the site also provide a good dog walking area.

Very Disappointing

The entrance around old buildings to the c.l were very run down. We were told by the owners when we arrived that we weren't booked in so it was a good job we took a copy of our email confirmation. The 6th caravan to arrive had no electric to hook up to so it was a good job they were only stopping overnight. We went out for a carry out meal as we were only there for one night (thank goodness) and felt very scared when a scuffle broke out in the Take Away Shop and our car was bloked in so we couldn't drive away. The surrounding area was rather run down as well. Close to M74 if you want an overnight stop.

Disappointing!

This CL site is really handy for the M74 and routes to the Highlands, but it really is a disappointing site. Cheap yes, the buildings on the approach are falling down, the electric hook up kept tripping (never had this problem at a CL site before). I would only recommend a very short stop-over here - handy enough.
