Well-kept site

A very well-kept and efficient site in a great location for Edinburgh. We attended the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and caught the bus into the city. The walk to the bus stop takes at least 15 minutes (not great in the rain!) and there are no street lights, so if coming back after dark, take a torch. The buses are frequent and you never have to wait too long. Much better than trying to park in the city! We also visited the Royal Yacht Britannia which was a very interesting and entertaining afternoon; it is docked at Leith, a few miles from the site. We used the laundry on the site and this worked well. One thing we had not been prepared for was that the site is directly under the descending flight path of Edinburgh Airport, and although it didn't bother us too much, if you are noise sensitive you might find this annoying. There are occasional flights during the night and constant flights during the day. We were lucky to get a pitch away from the road, which could also be noisy. If you are thinking of going to the Fringe/Tattoo in August and booking at this site, book up early - the site was full the whole time we were there and they were turning people away every day. A good base anytime of year though.
