Reviewer: FraserC 1 review from this member

 Had some business in Glenrothes so was just what I needed.

Nice tidy quiet site did not use the facilities as I was only on site for 1 night but am sure they would be a high standard as was the rest of the site.

Would return.

 Myself, my boyfriend and our dog stayed at Balbirnie in July 2020 and we couldn't have been happier. Toilets and facilities were open with social distancing in place which worked very well.

We had a great time, the campsite is situated near great park which our dog loved to explore and soon became his favourite place. The site was small however everyone was very friendly and the facilities were spotless.

We couldn't fault the site during the 3 days we were there and we will definitely be back.

 We booked originally for two nights and thought we would then move on but everything was so nice, clean and tidy we decided we would just stay put!

The wardens are a lovely couple, very friendly, welcoming and always about on site! The toilets, showers are super clean and tidy, warm and welcoming!

I cannot recommend this site highly enough, will be returning!

The park beside the site is a huge bonus for dogs! Lots of walks, different route every day!

 Spent one night here and got a warm welcome when we checked in. Site is only about 5 minutes walk from the town and backs onto a housing estate. There are numerous trees about to detract from this but if you are facing them it is quite obvious.

The pitch was spacious but certainly wasn't level. All the usual amenties you would expect from a caravan & motorhome club site.

Toilets and showers were spotless and the showers stayed on rather than having to push the button every 20 seconds.

 Situated in a wooded area on the edge of a large park, a smallish site but an absolute wee gem.

Pitches are a mixture of hard standing and grass, the grass pitches tended to have more room around them. All have ehu but none are superpitches although there are plenty water points. Toilet block is spotless with enough showers and plentiful hot water, pretty much the standard you’d expect. Also the usual dishwashing and laundry facilities.

There are some dog friendly hostelries within easy walking distance and a couple of well-stocked supermarkets. Plenty of dog walking around the site too, a large park straight across the road, I’d also recommend the short stroll to Balbirnie House Hotel, pooch welcome there too.

It should be noted there’s no children’s play area here although it didn’t seem to detract from the enjoyment of some small children playing happily on their bikes whilst we were there. Great site, we will definitely be back.

 Well after a very friendly welcome we were told to find a pich on site.

A bit of a surprise to be in a town and enter into a wooded park area with some small areas of pitches amongst the trees and then a lower tier backing onto houses.

We found a pitch near the facilities block in an area with about six other units.

Even though there were high winds and heavy rain at times the wardens were out clearing the massive amount of leaves that were falling. The site was a credit to their hard work.

The shower and toilet block were excellent, spotless and accessed by a key code.

The town itself had a Coop, an extremely well stocked Nisa and a pharmacists and a speciality wine shop all within easy walking distance.

We did not eat out there or use the pubs so can't comment on that side of things.

TV reception was excellent on my Avtek aerial as was my Virgin Mobile signal.

As Vangoman previously stated, this is a little gem and extremely peaceful.

Despite the weather we enjoyed a very pleasant stay.

 I can't believe the lack of reviews for this wee gem of a site.

Or maybe folks don't want to share how good it is?

It was fully booked for the 3 nights we stayed.

I live 30-40 minutes drive away but have never really had need to travel to the area.

A friend of mine suggested we should give it a try. So we did for 3 nights with our caravan.

Its a woodland site on the edge of a large park, Hotel and Golf course.

The pitches are dotted throughout the site amongst the trees with a couple of more open areas which get the best of the sunshine when it appears.

One area on the lower level backs on to some housing but does not seem to detract from the ambience of the site.

Our hardstanding pitch was on the right as you enter the site in a small sort of cul de sac with only 3 pitches which got the sunshine from midday onwards. Looked like there were around 20 pitches in the area we were in and all well spaced.

Mostly hardstanding pitches but grass pitches are also available.

All facilities and services are within easy reach as far as I could see.

The showers and toilets seem to have been refurbished quite recently and are the usual club standard.

I got a really good TV signal just using my old Status roof aerial, not sure how it would be in the lower level.

Friendly and helpful wardens who also keep the site in excellent condition.

Dog friendly eating/drinking places in Markinch, also Co-Op and one other supermarket which seems to stock all you would need food/drink wise. Bakery and coffee shop will be the first place you come to on the left. Its a 5-10 minute fairly level walk from the site.

It really was so quiet and peaceful

 What a gem of a site. Under tall trees. Tarmac roads, so mobility scooter safe. Set on the edge of 400 acres of parkland. Easy access into the town. Within easy walking distance from the campsite, couple wee stores a co-op and pubs, and couple restaurants. Immaculate place, no graffitti, no rubbish. The locals were friendly. The wardens on this site were so friendly and so hard-working. Flowers everywhere. The grass kept cut short everywhere. The disabled toilet was very clean and toilet block very clean. Would certainly return. A great break away and so relaxing. Well lit at night and we felt safe.

 Ideally located in the middle of The Kingdom of Fife, especially if you love golf, castles and beaches.

Lovely wardens with a small shop selling milk etc and local wood carvings, Markinch is a 10 minute walk away with a good sized COOP, the COOP has a Post office, cafe.

The village also has a good chemist, dog groomer, a couple of the local hotels are offering all day Scottish breakfasts with black pudding and haggis.

The shower/w/cs look new and kept spotlessly clean, nice laid out site within woodlands with some open grassy areas.

Plenty of water/waste service areas and a good sized motorhome service area near the entrance, worth another longer visit to come back and see the rest of the town and try a breakfast in town.

Reviewer: Mike13 5 reviews from this member

 Set in a lovely country park but within 5 minutes of a small town. Variety of pitches, we chose under some trees, one disadvantage is the houses behind us have a cockerel which starts crowing at about 4 am. Excellent toilet facilities, we have no kids so took no note of facilities for them. Friendly staff
