Great for visiting Edinburgh

This was not our first visit to Slatebarns, it is now our go to location when we want to have a few days in Edinburgh. It is a great little site, not big but the pitches are well spaced, so you never feel crowded. All the pitches are hard standing, in amongst beautiful mowed grass. Getting into Edinburgh could not be simpler, just walk back to the village and catch the number 37 bus, or take the car down to Straiton P&R and catch the much quicker X37 (which only runs on weekdays, early morning and early evening). Lothian buses have a ticketing app which is simple to use, however the buses will accept contactless payment for single adult tickets. One mention for the Original Rosslyn Inn, which is near the junction for Chapel Loan. The food is superb, with generous servings and great value for money. The beer is great as well.

A little Gem

My husband and I booked in here for 11 nights ( had a mix up about no of nights but dealt with in good humour by Mr Crawford) We have previously stayed at either Club site or at Mortonhall. We decided to try this CL as we were going to be busy every day helping our son move house. It was just perfect and plan to use this site from now on. The pitches are well laid out and grass very neat. There is a toilet but I wish other guests would leave it as they would like to find it. There is a great walk down into the glen which is great for dogs and it is a 5 minute walk to Rosslyn Chapel which is stunning - try and attend the service on Sunday as we were made very welcome and it adds to the experience. 5 minutes further on is the village with a Coop , a great pub and nice coffee shop. There are buses every 20 minutes into the centre of Edinburgh with night buses enabling you to enjoy the nightlife.

Slatebarns CL

Lovely site in a lovely location, but we saw it at it's worse, we had continuous rain for the 5 days we were there which resulted in puddles on the road way and wellies / shoes was needed to walk on the grass to the toilet and water point. The owners had no control on the weather but I suggest some hard-standing path to the toilets would be helpful. Roslyn chapel is a 5 minutes walk away, there is a walk to Roslyn Glen country park, which we did not use as it was muddy due to the rain. Ideal location to visit Edinburgh and other villages and easy to get to towing a caravan.

Nice and Quiet

A nice quiet site with easy access and convenient for all sorts of local attractions. A friendly welcome from the owners, plenty of dog walking areas nearby and loads of rabbits.  And now, a poem :- In The Stillness. As the day passes to night and the stars brightly glow, The heavens high in the sky and the still waters flow. Among the long grass when morning comes around, The rabbits come out to graze as there is no earthly sound. By daylight and sun up the world is calling to the sight and sound of, Birdsong and the flow goes with around. Margery Rayson.

wonderful

Robin and Moyra gave us the warmest welcome ever. What a delightful CL. It is kept in pristine condition and the hard standings helped us with awful weather for our 28 day stay. One thing to note is that rubbish and recycling is better here than on any other site on which we have stayed. We hope to return in 2016. The Crawford family are a shining example of how to run the perfect CL site.

A wee gem

This is a fabulous, quiet site in a beautiful setting. Close to good local shops, pubs and public transport as well as walking and cycling routes. A warm welcome from the owners and they are always happy to help with information or advice. Site is kept immaculate.

welcoming site

Robin and moyra gave a lovely scottish welcome on arrival. What a beautifully well kept site. So peaceful. Very hsndy for local bus to Edinburgh, bus stop only 5 minutes walk. Lovely scenery from site on edge of country park. Local shops adequate  and large shopping park only 10 minutes away by car. We will certainly be going back. Very easy to get to from motorway and main roads.

Superb CL

One of the best CLs we've stayed on.  We received a warm welcome and was surprised at the generous sized hard standings with lots of space between plots. The site is very quiet and handy for the village which has a Co-op, Post Office, Mini-Market and Gastro Pub. There is also a 24 hour Asda only 2 miles away.  The site is very handy for the Borders and, of course, Edinburgh which is only a 20 minutes drive.  There is also a regular bus service to Edinburgh and Penicuik.  The site is very well maintained and highly recommended.

Outstandingly delightful

This CL site must be the best in Scotland.  Robin and Moyra welcomed us more warmly than you can imagine which made up for the fact that it was snowing when we arrived at the end of March.  We needed somewhere to stay for four weeks of treatment at a hospital down towards Peebles.  Slatebarns is within reach of all we needed in the way of shopping and also a bus into Edinburgh.  The site is beautifully kept with well cut grass and gravelled hard standings.  The latter made all the difference as the weather for most of the month was miserable.  Another outstanding point was that rubbish and recycling are well catered for which makes all the difference.  A clean and efficient CDP made life easier for us.  Well done Robin and Moyra and than you so so much.
