Fantastic views

Great site to unwind on. Very well kept by a hard working owner who is very friendly. The views over the low fence is amazing on a clear day, Gretton back drop for a bbq! Nice cycle ride down to St Andrews, (4 miles e/w) uphill all the way back though (not too arduous). Worth looking at the famous "Old Course", even if you are not a golf fan. As mentioned in other reviews, parking in St Andrews is free down by the harbour and just a short walk back up to town. The Museum of St Andrews (MUSA) is worth a look at (free entry). The town itself is very nice with plenty of shops & eateries. Would highly recommend.

Nice little site

Very well situated site for St Andrews, with lovely dog walking available on the West Beach approximately 3 miles away, particularly if you park towards the end. Free parking which was a bonus. Lovely views from the site and warm welcome from the owner. As we have a fairly large caravan, Mrs Wade had kindly allocated us the hard standing pitch although this actually consisted of a small area of concrete which was too small for our van although it was adequate to get the wheels on but not the stablisers. As the site is basically in the front garden, you do need a motor mover to be able to situate your van to take in the views as there is not room to do it with a car. The only minus point for us was that there is farm track situated next to the hard standing pitch which had an awful lot of heavy farm machinery using it from 6.30am onwards, but you would not notice this so much if you were on a different pitch. We really enjoyed our stay although the weather was not very kind to us!

A Return Trip

After staying on this CL 2016 we could not wait to make a return trip. Our ten days in June was once again very enjoyable. Mrs Wade provides a warm welcome and the views from the site are stunning. The walking in this area is excellent and the nearby Staithkinness Tavern is very welcoming and serves great food and drink. We are looking forward to visiting again. You can see our walks and places we visited on our blog https://twodogsandanawning.co.uk/site/knockhill-cl/

Great Views & a Warm Welcome

We stayed at Knockhill CL for a week in June. Mrs Wade gave us a warm welcome and shared her local knowledge. The site has outstanding views and has easy access to St Andrews and the surrounding areas. The local pub The Straithkinness Tavern is well worth a visit, excellent food, good beer and a friendly welcome. There is great walking all around this area with the Fife Coastal Path very accessible and the Lomond Hills just a short drive away. You can see the walks that we did whilst staying here at our blog twodogsandanawning.co.uk/site/knockhill-cl/

Leuchars View 2

Another visit to this handy CL for St Andrews albeit only for one night this time. Nothing has changed since our last visit, all good. Things are changing at the military base across the water, the RAF seem to have downsized and retreated to Lossiemouth so aircraft noise must be significantly reduced. Mrs Wade on hand if needed.

Peace & Quiet

A lovely little site in what is the owners front garden, with great views over the River Eden and Leuchars. The site is grass but there are slabs laid for the caravan wheels, which solves levelling the van. There is a pub/restaurant in the village approx. half a mile from the site but no shops, these are in St Andrews about 4 miles away. At £12 pun you cannot go wrong staying here but you do need transport, but it is a superb CL
