Don’t go by first impressions ……..
We arrived at Yellowcraigs and to say I was gutted was an understatement….. I had thought I had booked a hard standing pitch, and there were none left and all the grass pitches looked tired, and worn where awnings had been previously. As I say don’t go by first impressions…… after speaking with the lovely’s wardens it became clear that I hadn’t booked hardstanding as they don’t offer the facility to book and so we took the best pitch we could find which turned out to be spot on for sunshine and peace & quiet. Yes, the pitches were Sandy rather than grassy however this is due to the popularity of the site and that the pitches are constantly busy so not getting a chance to air more between uses - some users I note could be more ‘kind’ with their choice of groundsheet to help make this easier for the wardens though….This site has an amazing location, we walked to north Berwick which was about 3 miles via the John Muir way and came back along the stunning beach. Lovely meal at the Castle Arms one night, and great fish and chips from the superfry at Gullane too. We ended up so happy on our pitch we managed to secure an additional 2 nights from cancellations - again many thanks to the wardens for being so helpful with this and also for cancelling our booking we had in place with another club site. We spent hours on the beach and our wee doggy has never been so tired out. Facilities were spotless, and nice to see 2 x washing machines on site which meant less queuing - yes I know we are on holiday but it’s nice not to have pack for a full 2 weeks and go home with bags and bags of washing!! A different site if you are used to the military rows of hard standing pitches on some club sites, but beautiful, peaceful and very well run. We will definitely be adding this to our list of favourites.
