Factual Review

We stayed at this site for four nights from 6/8/24 to 10/8/24, two adults and two children, as we had booked tickets for the Tattoo and the Castle. The site is well-located for Edinburgh City Centre, just a 30 minute bus ride (20 minute walk to bus stop). You can also drive which takes around 30 minutes due to the 20mph speed limits and one-way systems in place. To correct some of the previous, unfair and factually incorrect reviews: 1. There is litter on the pavements outside the site (not the site's fault or issue) but no more than you would find anywhere else in a City in the UK. The same goes for the dog mess which is not that bad. Some people just like to over-exaggerate the truth. The site itself is very clean and tidy. 2. Bike lockers, in my opinion, are a good thing. Why would anyone make this out to be a negative? They are provided free of charge! 3. Key pad on toilet doors, again why is this a negative? Just stops unwanted visitors from being able to use them. Everyone with a genuine booking is provided with the code and we've stopped on other sites that have the same approach. Some people baffle me! 4. In the four days we stopped onsite, we never experienced any queues for the toilets or the washing up facilities. If someone waited 30 minutes, they must have fallen asleep in what small queue they were in and have people move past them. There were queues for the showers, but no-where near 30 minutes. And if waiting is an issue, just come back at another time! 5. The toilets and showers were not over-used at all. The site clean them more regularly due to the other toilet block being closed for refurbishment. We have stopped on other sites where there is only one block for the same number of pitches so not really an issue. 6. We experienced no security issues at all onsite. In fact, during our stay, the site were having some new entrance barriers fitted. Again, a real positive. 7.Someone else has stated that the approach road is a building site. This is not true at all. There are building sites off the approach road, the road itself is not a building site. All in all, we had a good stay and would return and recommend to others. Yes, the site is on a flight path but there is so much to do that you tire yourself out and this is no problem at all if you have a decent pillow. Some people just like a moan but their reviews are factually incorrect so don't take any notice. Most have said that they wouldn't be returning, which is a good thing because they're the moaning, boring farts that you wouldn't want to be sharing your holiday with anyway. Hopefully the site team bid them Good Riddance so the rest of us can enjoy this site again without their presence.
