Short stay

A very well maintained site with a great toilet/shower block. Although it's within acres of parkland it's also positioned next to housing so doesn't feel particularly rural though there are some pitches in a wooded area (agree they need pruned). It made a good base for a couple of nights exploring the area, handy for Falkland Palace and we enjoyed a nice meal at Banner's House in Markinch (10min walk).

A Pleasant Stay at Balbirnie.

Stayed here last week. The wardens are some of the hardest working wardens we have seen. They were always there cleaning, painting, gardening and always helpful when needed. We agree about the trees dripping raindrops onto the caravan, we lost more than one nights sleep due to heavy rain all through the night. If they could be cut back to allow less dripping and more light through to the pitches it would be a great improvement. Our second site in Scotland and no WIFI again. When are the Caravan Club going to catch up with the real world?

Good touring base.

We have stayed at this site several times. The facilities are modern and meticulously maintained and the staff are friendly and very helpful. Our main criticism with the site is that a lot of the pitches are under large, well established trees which not only create shade but can mean disturbed nights during heavy rain. Also note that there is no Wi-Fi on this site. The town of Markinch does not have much to offer but there are some excellent walks in Balbirnie Park (in which the site is situated) and the site makes an excellent base for exploring Fife. We are motorhomers and try to use public transport where possible. The railway station is only a 15 minute walk away with regular trains to Edinburgh or Dundee.

Great site

We stayed for four nights in June 2015 and after the cold and wet of the Western Isles we were delighted to find the wardens as warm and welcoming as the weather. Perfect location for public or own transport to many places of interest. Loved the fact there was no playground so except for a toddler no children on site which meant it was quiet and relaxing. Good facilities, walking distance to shops, cafes and restaurant - good steaks ! No wifi but easy to use the cafe a few minutes down the road but no problem with phone connections. Would go back if in the area again.

Warm welcome in Markinch.

Wardens Sam & Andy friendly & helpful & always available working hard to maintain a very high standard at this site. Site is very peaceful set in open woodland adjacent to Balbirnie Park yet very accessible via road & rail to Dundee, Kirkcaldy, Perth & Edinburgh etc. Impressed with some personal touches at site such as herb garden, flowers & weather man. Facilities & toilet block cleaned to a very high standard. We hope to visit again soon.

Kingdom

We spent two nights here at the end of June. The excellent wardens keep a tidy site decorated beautifully with flowers and tasteful knick knacks. The facilities are kept clean and tidy, but are now a bit tired. The site improved dramatically during our stay with the departure of two families that included screaming children and shouting mothers. Who would be a warden? Overall we have good memories of this site.

Peaceful site in the Kingdom of Fife

An excellent site set in woods of Balbirnie Park. Very well kept by the wardens lots of flowers set in the glades of the trees. Facilities are very clean and tidy. Local dog walks in the park and woods nearby. Located centrally only 30 mins by car to Crail, Anstruther and the secret bunker. Falkland Palace only 10 minutes up the road. Only here for a 3 day weekend but will be back.

Good stopover site

On tour heading north from Edinburgh and made a stopover for one night. A well laid out site with a good range of pitches. I opted for one under the trees which was quiet and sheltered from the strong sunlight. Very good facilities well maintained. The site is on the edge of a town area and was reasonably easy to find using SatNav.

Excellent and well run site

This is a spotless and very well run site and the wardens couldn't be nicer or more helpful. The very large park next to the site is perfect if you have a dog or if you just enjoy going for a walk. It is a short walk into the village where you can get supplies or have a meal and there are plenty of interesting places to visit only a short drive away one of those being Falkland Palace and village. The village is delightful and the Hayloft Tearoom is a must as everything is homemade and delicious. This was our first visit to this site and we could only stay a few days but it is one I would most definitely visit again.
