We stayed at in late July / early August. Arrival at the site was good, the waiting area is well sign posted although the entry can be a little tight if people are leaving. We were given a choice of three pitches (the site was posted as full) and any of them would have done. The hardstanding pitches are a good size although we had to peg the guy lines of our awning into the grass.There was a lot of heavy rain showers while we were there but the pitches drained quickly. The site is beside the centre of town, right next to a reasonable sized Co-Op supermarket. There are full sized superstores in Galashiels (3.5 miles away). The town itself has a few good hotels and restaurants selling standard pub food. Most had good quality and service. Nobody is going to go hungry staying here. Check out the information room at the site (next to the reception) there are a list of hotels that provide discounts if you produce your C&MC membership card. Melrose Abbey is a must visit attraction. It is a 5 - 10 minute walk from the site. There are three other Abbeys within the local area to visit also. The site facilities are clean and tidy. They are showing there age but as long as everything is cleaned and maintained we have no complaints. The wardens keep the site tidy and the hanging baskets are a nice touch. We did notice the usual speed issues and ignoring the one way system but short of employing a "police" warden what can you do? One issue with the site being close to town is there are nearby houses and some of the dogs in the houses started "conversations" with the dogs on the site. There were a few early rises because of this. We had a great week at the site and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good base to visit the Scottish Borders.
