A fantastic site for everyone

We stayed for a full week earlier this month. The site team are the friendliest we've encountered recently, and they run an efficient and busy site. We travelled into the city every day by bus (£2 per adult is the maximum fare) and found it a good reliable service. the 3/5 rating for "peace and quiet" is not a criticism - it's a reflection of the background noise ... but don't let it put you off. The current building work took place during the day when we were out, but we were unprepared on the first night by the sound of planes landing at Edinburgh airport. We always keep some cheap foam earplugs in our caravan and put them in for nights 2 to 7 and slept soundly. It's all about preparation! The wardens couldn't have been more helpful, always willing to stop, chat, give advice and generally giving us a brilliant impression of the team and the site. We didn't take bikes, but next time we will and will definitely be using the free bike lockers. It is a "city" site, similar to Abbey Wood in London where it's surrounded by housing that's probably described as potentially deprived and that sometimes mean a higher crime area. But the caravan site team have joined forces with a nearby foodbank which was an excellent idea for us to "give back" a little to the local community. A real positive, well done. Via the bus and car there's access to city based activities (the Botanic Garden is free and is excellent) and also a short hop to more rural parts where there is plenty of walking. Edinburgh parkrun is very close and we went on the Saturday morning, enjoying the vibe at the brilliant cafe on the promenade near Cramond. There was live jazz which surprised us! So our advice is don't hesitate in booking this site. Stay a while and explore the city and surrounding area - it's a long way for even those of us in the north of the country, but is well worth the trip.
