 Lovely little site. Shona and Gillian are two of the nicest people you could meet and are so friendly and helpful and can't do enough for you. The same can also be said about their assistants Don and Tracey who always have time for a chat and can give hints and tips of places to visit and amazing walks in the local area.

All the pitches are a good size, with perfect straight edges, and the grass is kept immaculately tidy. You can tell the owners have great pride in their site, and rightly so.

There are so many walks directly from the site itself so you don't always have to rely on your car for a day out. There is a small information room on site with leaflets and books to borrow.

The four individual cubicles in the ladies which each have a toilet, hand basin and large shower behind a curtain are great with a plentiful supply of hot water. These are kept spotless, and the security code needed to use them gives an added feeling of security.

A great site and although the phone signal is virtually non existent WiFi is provided for a small charge. And anyhow you don't have to walk far into the village to pick up a weak but quite usable signal.

Just a lovely little site run by lovely people.

 This was our first stay at this lovely well kept site. On arrival the staff were very friendly and informative. We had a choice of pitches, which were all large hardstanding.

The site has 2 small duck ponds with ducks therein. The site is in the location of a disused railway yard and part of the platform is still there.

The toilet block is small but very well appointed with large self contained, shower, toilet, sink. There was no phone signal or 4g on the site, wifi is available to buy.

The village has a couple of hotels with bar and restaurant food which we didn't use. Also a well stocked Spar and Costcutter a lovely butcher and a couple of nice busy cafes.

For walking or Dog walks, plenty of choice. A gate from the site leads directly onto the former railway line. A booklet can be purchased at reception for a good value £2 showing all the walks in the area.

I can recommend the cross border walk taking you into Cumbria and through forests.

We will be back.

 What a smashing site! One of the best we’ve stayed at and we’ve stayed at a lot. Wardens were lovely, good sized hard standing and the site is set out well. Digital tv aerial connection.

Showers and toilets are superb with good hot showers and lots of room with toilet and washbasin in shower room. Short walk into village with 2 mini supermarkets, butchers, a couple of cafes and 3 pubs.

Unfortunately didn’t stay long enough to try them out but will be back.

We were there for cycling (road) and there are many cycling opportunities both on and off-road, didn’t get a chance to walk but understand there were walks from the village.

£23.35 pn inc. EHU.

 Just home from a 10 night stay at this lovely site.

Situated in a quiet village with plenty of amenities. Three pubs, two small supermarkets, a butchers and two cafes. You can now get fuel in the village as they have installed a Community Pump. A bit dearer than normal but 1p per litre goes towards the village.

There are lovely walks from the site and access to cycling trails and a Golf Course. The facilities are well presented and kept beautifully clean.

The owners, Shona and Gillian, with Dad Eddie, could not do enough for you. I have never met such a helpful set of site owners. Some pitches are bigger than others and quite a few have seasonal residents - all of those we spoke to were again some of the friendliest people we have met.

The site is well placed for touring the Borders and Dumfries and Galloway by car although if there is a drawback to the site its that you have to travel 11 miles in any direction before you pass another village or town.

There is a bus service but it takes a while to get anywhere. The B road for towing was good, if a little twisty with a few potholes. It was being repaired in places whilst we were there.

The site is not adult only but there is very little to do for children on the site and those that were there were mainly attempting the cycle trails with their parents.

Finally, whilst the site was very quiet with no road noise, there is a Rookery in the trees that border the site and the birds were quite noisy at times - and a good aim with their droppings!

However I would not hesitate to return - we would make this a regular haunt if it was a bit closer to home.

 All the other reviews say it all, really, but I, too, cannot rate this campsite highly enough. Situated in the town, it is only a little stroll to shops and pubs as stated elsewhere.

The washroom facilities are out of this world, each having about four private ‘rooms’ with loo, sink and shower, and absolutely spotless.

The ladies has a notice saying you can borrow a hairdryer from reception. The pitches are good and level, with tv point. The site has the usual waste disposal facilities and also has a bike wash, which I have never seen before.

The wardens couldn’t be more friendly and helpful and we would recommend this site very highly.

 Hello, almost afraid to report on this site, it's one of the very few that you feel like keeping to your self.

The site is situated in the centre of à small village, but which contains a very good family butcher two small grocery stores, post office, and a few eating places one of which delivers carry out at no extra cost now to the site which is kept Very clean and tidy

Adequate pitches

Spotless toilets and showers and very friendly and helpful wardens,

As I said I was being a little selfish not wanting to leave a review because we want to return, and not find Site Full signs up,

One of the best in Scotland. Arthur.

 Just returned from 3 nights at this site. What a find! Cannot praise the staff and the site highly enough. Extremely helpful at all times with any information you might require.

The site is very well maintained with the facilities in excellent condition. (Can't beat having your own personal bathroom, very rare). Electric hook-up even had an aerial connection fitted so as to enhance reception of T. V. Plenty of water points available close to the spacious pitches.

The village is a short stroll with everything you might want. Spar, Cost Cutter shops, couple of pubs and restaurants.

We ate Sunday lunch at The Copshaw Kitchen, excellent food.

Can't wait to re-visit this site.

 Stayed here for the first time, found the staff very friendly and helpful, the site is spotless with new shower block for the ladies recently added.

The hardstandings are spacious the waste points and water points are close by wherever sited, WiFi is extra and worked very well.

The site is centered in the village which has everything required and we enjoyed the area and will be back soon.

Reviewer: Jules221974 3 reviews from this member

 Nicely appointed site. Caravan club.

We had a corner pitch on looking a hill and a little pond. 12 amp. Showers were extremely clean, however flooded constantly (wet shoes etc) £2. 50 to use washing machine and at almost £30 a night it's not great value.

Notices up everywhere with a multitude of rules. Not very child friendly.

Lovely man who runs it though, very helpful and friendly. Great base if you are a cyclist.

Reviewer: Rocknrollbabe 3 reviews from this member

 What a gem of a site this is:Lidalia is small enough for Eddie & Gillian to know all guests and is big enough for plenty of space for all.

There are some statics and storage is available. Dogs are made welcome and there were some families.

Newcastleton was originally owned by the Dukes of Buccleuch whose family name is Scott.

The village is large, several pubs and cafes, two mini-markets and one butchers shop. The Liddel Water has a lovely riverside park and there is an Agricultural Show in August.

The main sport is the '7 Stanes' which is Mountain Trail Biking. Fuel is either at Longtown 24 miles round trip, Hawick 40 miles round trip or Langholm 24 miles round trip.

We were here for 2 weeks mid-October but didn't see any public transport running. The site is Caravan Club Affiliated with excellent facilities.

The ladies toilet building suffered from condensation on doors and windows as units were aluminium, but only needed wiping down for comfortable use.

We would both highly recommend a visit. We hadn't been to this part of Scotland before but it is very special.

Look out for the Railway Museum and Viaduct on the way to Hawick.

Hadrians Wall is worth a visit mainly for the lovely towns around especially Brampton.

The only downside was very poor mobile signals mainly due to the hills blocking the signals.

If you want a real adventure go to Lidalia in the Scottish Border country.
