Another great stay
We stayed here over the bank holiday weekend, we must have been to this site over 30 times over the years and we are never disappointed. We arrived after driving through heavy snow (this was April 28th) but got a lovely warm welcome in the office, we also pitched in the snow, never done that before! The site easy to find and get if you follow the directions given on the website and handbook and is actually in the village itself. The site is well maintained by the hard working wardens and the shower block always clean and spotless. The ladies is closed from 11-11.30, the men’s from 11.30 -12.00. It is all hardstanding with some non-awning pitches completely on tarmac and they always seem to be taken. The rest of the pitches are on gravel and there are a number of service pitches which again get booked up very quickly. For families just offsite but next to the site there is a large playing field as well as a good size playground with brand new play equipment. There are also tennis courts and club adjacent which you can use with a small payment. There is plenty to do in the village; there is the abbey to explore, two NT gardens and many interesting shops and places to have a light lunch, snack, or an evening meal. The King’s Arms gives 10% off on production of your CC card (as do others, check with the wardens). There are two small supermarkets in the village and larger ones and petrol in Galashiels a few miles away. There is also the new train line to Edinburgh with a station at Tweedbank, again a few miles away. There is a good information room for things to see further afield. It is a popular site so book early as possible. We have already booked for October and can’t wait.
