We stayed at this site for the first time for a weekend, despite living just 40 miles away. Finding the site was no problem with easy access. The wardens were very friendly and helpful. We found a large level hardstanding pitch on the elevated part of the site which was near the toilet block and service point. I didn't fancy being in any of the pitches near the flats which over look that part of the site, but where we were was fine. some of the other pitches were nice but not so level for a motorhome. The site is well laid out with very mature trees and flower containers which were very nice. The toilet, shower facilities are excellent and I always found them immaculately clean. As we had our 13 week old puppy the Balbirnie Park estate next door was excellent for walking dogs, with miles of paths and woodland trails. I am not a golf fan but part of the estate is a nice golf course. A 5 minute walk takes you into Markinch where there are a couple of good supermarkets a bakery and cafe and pubs, restaurants. We did not venture further but mostly liked walking in the large estate park. We would return some time perhaps.

Not enough time

Visited this site 5 yrs ago it was a bit run down, this time stayed 4 nights what a change, its turned into a secret gem of a site, well run very clean, toilets I think the best in the club! Sam and Andy total workaholics with a great attitude , they have time to talk to you daily and never stopped working the site is a credit to them. Lots of walks around the site we didn't use the car once, good bakers and spar near by. Will certainly be back with our dog for more walks. Thanks for a relaxing break!

Everything close by

Edge of Markinch with good pubs, cafes, supermarkets, railway station, buses, all close walking distance. Lovely setting next to golf course, country park, quality hotel. Some nice pitches in a leafy setting but some less attractively sited. Shower/toilet blocks facilities clean and well, presented. Very minor gripe due to lack of wifi and poor TV signal. Wouldn't stop us revisiting.Plenty to do in the immediate vicinity. Liked it and will revisit.

Lovely Site

We stopped on our way home from a 10 day holiday, just a couple of nights. It's a nice site, very clean and tidy. Showers were lovely and hot. Be careful if following sat nav, ours took us down a track which was the back of park and had no access. We got in a mess as couldn't turn round or reverse out. Thankfully we have a motor mover fit and without that, we would have been in a mess.

Nice park

We stopped here for 2 nights, on our way home. A very nice site, friendly staff, clean toilets and shower facilities. Close to lots of activities/places to visit. This was our first stay here, but I'm sure we will go back for longer too.

Fife break

Ideal location for a base to tour Fife and from St Andrews round the coast to Elie. Although site details do warn you about some of the pitches being under trees - this does account for a good number of the total. Being under the trees obviously effects the lack of direct sunshine and lots of rain drops. Toilet block first class for cleanliness and number of facilities. On the one way road system a small steep hill has to be negotiated - towing a van up this incline can be a struggle - on speaking to the wardens,plans are afoot to try and change the route in order to tow downhill. Village of Markinch is a handy 5 minute walk for groceries etc.

End of Long Day

Having driven from John O Groats, we arrived somewhat weary at Balbirnie Park. We were met at reception by the lady warden, who was most helpful regarding where to eat and drink in the town of Markinch. The town being literally a few hundred yards from the site however the site is not disturbed by any town or traffic noise. The site and toilet block are clean and very well kept. The train station is a short walk from the site with links to Edinburgh. We would definitely use this site again.

This is the second time we have stayed at this site. First time was October 2015 and now July 2016. We will be staying again in October. Initially we were booked on a Holiday Park a few miles north but did not like the 'battery-hen' feel we got with the proximity of other vans and decided to switch to Balbirnie, after confirming with the site that they had space available. The park is wonderful, situated on the edge of Balbirnie Park, its perfect for the dog to get a good workout. The town of Markinch is right on the sites doorstep and has a couple of pubs and a couple of hotels. Bannerman Hotel is dog friendly and has a good food menu. There is a co-op and a nisa for odds and ends and Glenrothes is two minutes drive if you need anything substantial. The wardens are very friendly and seem to be constantly tidying the place up. The toilets/showers are as you would expect a caravan club site to be, first class. the information hut has enough info about the surrounding area to fill your days with and there is a couple of shelves with paperbacks if you need a holiday read. The pitches are hard standing and are very generous for your outfit, car and awning. We consider this site as our 'local' caravan club getaway and cannot recommend highly enough.
