Location and wardens 10/10, value for money 4/10

Must be one of the best located club sites for its position just off the high street. Chose it for this reason to explore Melrose and surrounds. Melrose is a lovely town with excellent shops, especially baker and butcher, cafes, pubs, cultural sites and riverside walks. Abbotsford is well worth visiting to see the house and walk through the estate by the river. Warden was very helpful. There are negatives. £38.00 a night is very expensive for a site with basic facilities. Happy to be on a standard pitch as don’t require a services pitch but £38.00 for a patch of hard standing, outdated facilities and no wifi is a lot of money. Cls can provide this for a lot less. The site is noisy which you expect being by a popular park and tennis club but also noise on the site from inconsiderate users playing music whilst sitting outside. I would maybe return for a night to revisit the lovely town but would also investigate local cls and then pay to park in town. Lack of free wifi is a big personal gripe. Most organisations and private sites now offer this.

Great Site. Great staff.

Great location right within the town. The staff are very hard working and never seem to be off the go. They are always helpfull and very pleasant to deal with. The toilets are a bit dated but always clean and tidy. It's our go to place because of the aforementioned reasons.

Lovely site with great facilities nearby to enjoy

Just back from a week in Melrose and had a fabulous time. Site is clean, quiet and well looked after, staff are friendly and helpful. Showers were lovely and warm with free flowing water, no button to keep pushing in! Best buy was the £2 Paths around Melrose book from reception which we trail ran throughout the week, easy access to all the town facilities, co op nearby and lots of places to eat out, walks along the river tweed and up the Eildon hills. We visited nearby abbeys and also Abbotsford the home of Walter Scott. Also spent a day on Lindisfarne which was great. Our visit coincided with the Borders Book Festival, an unexpected delight and we were still able to get tickets for various talks. Looking forward to booking again!

Another great visit.

Our first visit in three years due to the pandemic but the site is still one of the best in our experience with excellent wardens, a very tidy site, clean facilities and so close to the town itself. While the site hasn’t changed Melrose has, there are new cafes and takeaways, and best of all an ebike hire shop. Plenty of local cycle trails and routes which are in a number of leaflets for the local towns and villages in the information room. Speed limits in towns and villages are now all at 20mph. The only slight negative outside the site is that the local Abbeys are now restricted to the ground around them due to ongoing safety checks which look to be on for some time. Recommend Rhymers Fayre for small meals snacks and Marmions for dinner. Can't wait to go back.

Lovely small site right in a lovely town

Lovely smallest site so far right in town but with views of hills all around. Great pitches and facilities. Right in the town, but peaceful. Melrose is a nice town, with good shopping at Co-op and local indie shops right near site, plus good pubs and cafés. King's Arms was very nice for a meal. Tweed pretty close for lovely walks, banks covered in Few Flowered Garlic, used in local pesto which we had.

Disappointing asphalt pitches

Very friendly welcome and the site is ideally located, a short walk into Melrose and a Coop next door. The facilities were fine. Unfortunately we were pitched on what felt like a pub car park....4 hard asphalt pitches in the corner, which seemed like an afterthought or overflow area. I do not think it's right to charge the same price for these pitches as for the normal.ones. We have stayed on lots of Club sites and have never seen an area like this before. Not at all a pleasant environment for sitting outside.

First Rate Site.

This is, a first rate, friendly site. Well kept, with extremely clean facilities. It's situation, over the road from Melrose rugby ground and within 50 mtrs. of the town, make it an ideal stop. We initially ,booked for three nights and stayed for five. Although situated next to the town and with houses and recreation fields adjacent, it was quiet and peaceful. Staff were, friendly and very approachable, Melrose, is a walker friendly town and dogs, are welcome in all pubs and bars. We have booked again for later this year. Great place

First visit to this site and will definitely recommend

This was our first visit to this site , and we loved it . Couldn’t believe how close to the town we were and so close to a Co op - which was so handy. The wardens were absolutely amazing, we had a leak on our motorhome, the warden was around straight away and assisted us , gave great advice and expertise to which we were extremely grateful for . Very welcoming site , toilets very clean and site in general well kept by the wardens . Good dog walking area on site . I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a lovely break and a nice walk into the town . Melrose Ruby ground is across the road and a nearby school. We will most definitely recommend and be returning. Thanks for making our break so enjoyable xx

Lovely site

Recently stayed there for a second time and have booked again for later in the year. Wardens very welcoming and work hard to maintain the site. Toilets showers etc were very clean. Being right in the centre of Melrose its great for getting supplies and there are lots of lovely places to eat and drink. Lots of walking and cycle paths close by.
