Lovely autumn break

Lovely, peaceful site with views and friendly owners. We stayed for two well-timed weeks in October, arriving the day after storm Agnes and leaving in the aftermath of storm Babet. We used a combination of gas and electric for water and heating and did not need to top up the electricity. Would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

A peaceful stop.

Stopped for 2 nights in Mid October to break our journey down from the Highlands to home. Easy booking and great communication from the start. Slightly sloping hard standing so levelling ramps needed. No big deal. Very quiet nights sleep. Shame it was cloudy as it would have been an ideal spot for stargazing. A bit too far out from Jedborough to walk in, we are in a motorhome, so no other transport available. Would happily use this site again if we're in the area.

Great site. Easy booking

Great site. Easy booking via email. Pitch was allocated and written on a whiteboard on arrival. We had 10Kwh per night electric. We found that 40Kwh was sufficient for 4 nights. Great area. The site is on a working farm so normal farm sounds / smells add to the experience. Great stay. Thanks for your hospitality.

Peaceful

The lawn mower needs a grass box on it ! Very annoying having your shoes covered in grass cuttings and trying not to get grass in your Motorhome. We were with friends so we had two pitches and only stayed for one night.. Our friends didn't arrive until early evening, yet their electric supply clicked off in the middle of the night and they didn't even cook any dinner. Our meter just started flashing red just before we left, yet we cooked dinner and had a cooked breakfast, so they couldn't of had their full allowance on their meter, you can purchase more electric but as we were only one night we didn't think we'd need it.

Peaceful with lovely scenery

Easy to find even though it's off the beaten track. Very quiet and the scenery is beautiful. The loudest noises we heard were cows lowing and an owl hooting. A notice board at the entrance tells you which pitch is yours and the pitches are numbered 1 to 5 going away from the entrance. The slope of the pitch gets steeper the further you go from the entrance so you might want to bring blocks to level your camper or caravan. The only complaint we had is that the wet grass had been recently cut and you have to walk over it to get to the bins and the water. This resulted in a lot of grass cuttings accompanying us back to the caravan despite our best efforts to keep them out. Obviously Matt and Lucy can't control the weather but the grass cuttings were irritating! Overall, though, it's a lovely place to stop and so peaceful.

Booked at Short notice - Excellent Response from Owners - Clean, tidy, Easy Access & views to Die for!

After a family emergency (short noitce Grand child sitting meant my wife detouring to Cumbira whilst I headed North East - meant I needed a site in the Borders at 24hrs notice. Lucy responded promptly to my request and I re-routed from East Yorkshire to the Borders via the A68. Arrived in the last hour of daylight to find easy access, excellent hard standing pitches and these wonderful views! everything tidy on site and around the farmstead. - Wished I had brought our Labrador as the dog walks looked great too!

Lovely site

We found this site , well laid out . The access to dog walking was excellent. Every where including the farm was well kept. Refreshing to find a site owner who hasn’t overcharged on pricing. One point to remember on arrival don’t drive on the grass like we did and another person did to obtain water there are signs but we all missed , the owner has available a long pull out hose. The local area has plenty to offer , would certainly visit again

Great find

After a hectic round of visiting family and friends. Heading home we found this gem. Easily accessible from the A68, Close to Jedburgh and all attractions. Lovely views, very quiet and relaxing site. Walks shown around the farm lots of wildlife around. We had a fantastic nights sleep it was so quiet. We will hopefully be back for a little bit longer next time. Thank you Lucy for accommodating us
