perfect position, lovely site and wonderful wardens

After first visit can't wait to be able to return. The site is perfectly positioned in Melrose. It is a short stroll to the centre of this delightful town. The site itself is lovely and the wardens do an amazing job as well as providing a very friendly and efficient welcome. I don't know how they do it all as a one couple site. The Southern Upland Way and the Borders Abbeys Way pass right through Melrose, so perfect for walking (or in my case running) routes. I also found perfect quiet cycling routes on decent road surfaces, although once off the main roads there can be some quite challenging gradients. Melrose - oddly - doesn't have a road bridge over the River Tweed. To cross in a vehicle one has either to drive east for a couple of miles to the A68, or drive west for a couple of miles towards Galashiels. In some ways this adds to the charm. There is a wonderful suspension footbridge across the river in Melrose, which is worth a stroll even without any desire to get to the north of the Tweed. (Yes the toilet block isn't new and could be improved by refurbishment. But everything worked, the water was hot, the wardens kept it spotless, and in a small site it was never busy even when the site was full. It was zero detriment to our stay there.)
