Perfect little spot
Lovely little CL site, plenty of space in the field. Quiet & peaceful. Water/waste facilities really good. Emma & Adrian were very helpful & friendly. Would recommend it & we will be back. 🥰

Brilliant
We had 4 days/nights stay here in June, and we could easily have had a whole week here.
Very peaceful and relaxing.
Our collie ‘Flint’ had a great time too.
Just Loved looking out over the hills as we relaxed in our camper.
Lovely meeting you Emma!
Our new favourite CL!
We stayed for two nights in April and wish we could have stayed longer. We had a warm welcome from Emma who showed us where everything was and said we could pitch anywhere in the field as we were the only ones there. It was incredibly peaceful and we were very lucky with the sunny weather so we could sit outside and enjoy the fabulous views of the countryside and Hermitage castle. There are some lovely walks and we enjoyed watching the lambs in the field and listening to the river (hermitage water). You definitely need levelling blocks and there is no electric but this is exactly what we wanted so we could test out our solar panels! We will definitely be back here next time we're in the Scottish borders. Thank you for setting up this idyllic site!
Borders Beauty and Solitude
We received a warm welcome from Emma on arrival who walked us to the field showing us the facilities and giving us some helpful information on the area. The field is large and open, sunny with extensive views and firm ground for our motorhome when we visited. We were then left to choose our pitching location. The drinking water, grey waste and chemical waste points are all well separated, each with their own taps. We chose to stay on site exploring the immediate area with pleasant walks every day. Hermitage Hill is rewarding with great 360 degree views. The short walk from site to Hermitage Castle and Chapel is pleasant and flat. We booked for three nights at the end of August but stayed on for another night.
A very peaceful and lovely location with friendly owners. We will definitely visit again.
Great site
Wow what a place, a great host, Emma was there to greet us, gave us ideas on what to do, we told her we were there to relax and watch the stars, boy did it deliver. Midges at tea time as previously told but we were prepared, they soon left us alone. Perfectly pitched on the open field, watching the cows. If it’s relaxation your after this is the place to be, pure silence.
Thanks Emma

Hidden Gem
This site has only being going a couple of years, but Emma is the best host, the track is tight with a long caravan, also their are midges after tea so take insect repellent, Emma was always their if we needed advise and come to see us on the last night, the night before we arrived she even phoned us up to check everything was O.K. which was lovely, their are plenty of walks,
We will be back their soon
A site to return to time and again
This was our second visit, and will not be our last, as the site excels in every way.
Emma is ever helpful, and so friendly, and even remembered our dogs name from last time.
The site is the last word in a get away from it all stay, although the surrounding area also has so much to offer.
Mountain biking (7 stanes) in Newcastleton, road biking on some amazing single track roads, direct from the site, and walks for all abilities from the square in Newcastleton.
A short walk from the site across the fields takes you to the dramatic Hermitage castle, especially stunning in the evening sun.
A Field with a View.
Emma was there within minutes of us arriving to ensure we had all we needed. The field itself is quite uneven and we have a large heavy motorhome which she advised us to park on a slightly higher part due to the previous day's rainfall (and consequently slightly damp ground) although we had no problems. The grey water, chemical toilet and fresh water were easy to access, no electricity but we knew this before we arrived.
The Hermitage castle is within sight of the field. This is really the place to go if you want to be away from it all. We couldn't get a phone signal, even when we drove into Hawick (lovely town incidentally) the signal was intermittent. Newcastleton is 6 miles away - and despite being a small village did have a good phone signal.
We visited in June and so had the midges which appeared in the late afternoon in the sunshine to contend with. Other than that, a peaceful rural location.
Absolute corker of a site!
Thank you Emma for a wonderful stay on your site in August. We (and our husky) had the whole site to ourselves and it is such a beautiful spot. Evening strolls to Hermitage Castle and daytime bike rides round Kielder Forest. We will definitely be back and would thoroughly recommend this site. A real corker!
A peaceful and beautiful escape from it all
What a lovely place to stay! Peace and tranquility in a beautiful part of the Scottish Borders, Hermitage Farm really is the best place to be if you want to escape for a few days. Emma the owner was lovely, very helpful and friendly and we will definitely be going back.
