Actual Factual Review
The site is great for visiting Edinburgh. It is only a 25 minute drive owing to the 20mph limits. We had an excellent time at the Fringe festival and the many attractions of Edinburgh. The site is perfectly placed for the city.
Unfortunately, pitches 19 to 28 have a real problem with the building works right at the side. Ground works are really noisy and start at 7.30 in the morning and end in our experience at 6pm Monday to Friday. There is no opportunity to enjoy your pitch as JCBs are digging and other large work vans are removing soil and depositing it behind other pitches.
We tried to move but there was no escape the disruption is widespread on one side of the site. It’s a shame that the other side of the site is under development as it might be less noisy in that area further away from the building works.
The staff were really lovely and can’t help the situation but there should be a warning on the main website so that members can decide if they want to visit or not knowing the true facts.
There is building work further down on Marine Drive too and many parked vehicles where workers park so it did make it difficult negotiating and will be difficult if you have a large motorhome.
The council needs to tidy up the walkways of marine drive and perhaps plan to do this after building works have culminated but this is apparently two years in the future. It has the potential to be lovely down towards the sea front. Let’s see what happens we will be back in a couple of years time when everything settles down. The site was tidy but we use our own facilities so can’t comment on the wait times suggested in other posts.
