 Our second stop touring the north; a great site ideally placed for exploring Edinburgh ( bus stop at the end if the road straight into princes street). Lovely setting and good facilities. Good park for children of mixed ages and pretty well stocked shop on site. Ample toilets and showers which were spotless (we used the ones nearest the hall). Seems to cater well for the variety of units (caravans tourers and statics, tents, pods and numerous motorhomes) even had a kitchen with microwaves at a small cost and tv/ games room. Also lots of outdoor room for the kids to play on the top field.
Would return and defo recommend for visiting Edinburgh.

Nice site with clean tidy toilets. Friendly staff on site part. Good for kids and adults. Big, but nice atmosphere. What let this site down big time for us was the stables bar. After visiting the night before to ask for food for my son who has allergies we were told it wasn't a problem. On the night of our meal with friends who come to visit us we were served by a very unhelpful waiter who said the food all had allergens in it. When we asked what the chef could offer us we were then told the chef 'didn't seem that interested' and he/she couldn't offer any suggestions! When I stated that I found this rude and that I wished an idea of a food he said the chef had not been happy! Terrible service and very rude staff. Shame as lovely looking wee pub and a nice site spoilt!

The site was well signposted and easy to find. It is 5 minutes from the city bypass. Stayed here for 2 nights. The staff were friendly and welcoming.
The site has lots of caravan/motorhome pitches and lots of tent pitches in the lower field and more in the upper. It was quiet when we stayed with one tent pitched and maybe 2 dozen caravans.
The toilets and showers were spotlessly clean.
TV reception was good.
Nice wee pub restaurant on site.
There are plenty play areas for kids.
The only negative was that the hard standing pitches were a wee bit small.

My wife and I stayed for just one night on 14 September and
Must say that we thought the site was very peaceful and pleasant with nice surroundings, we must also agree with others who have submitted reviews saying that the pitches are, in many cases, just a little bit too close together.
We did however find that the toilet / shower block closest to our pitch in area (H) left more than just a little to be desired.
The shower curtains looked as though they had not been cleaned for quite some time with heavy deposits of body fat being visible and the water control valves for the showers were badly stained. The shower cubicles were also very small.
I did complain to the lady at reception, and received an immediate apology. Apart from the above complaint, the site is in a great location.

Just got back from a 2 night stop. Booked a few weeks ago for last minute plan to go to the fringe. It's a nice site with a good shop and friendly helpful staff.
They need to better define their pitches. We had trouble getting to ours in the centre section, as it didn't have roadways, then when people arrived the next day we were blocked in and surrounded, some pitched far too close together. Thankfully others had packed up by the time we needed to get our car out.
Also they could do with another 2 showers instead of 4 showers and 8 loos for the block in the main section, as had to queue, even before 7. Always clean though.
The site is well placed for the city centre, got the bus in and out really easily (£1. 40 for a single or £3. 50 for a day ticket to go in and out several times). You need the correct change in the week, but the bus company is on site on summer weekends to give advice and sell tickets. Takes about 15mins to get in.
Word of warning getting a late bus back around the time the tattoo finishes, very busy, lots couldn't get on, so they had to wait for the last bus (walk up to st Andrews sq rather than catching it on princes street). Got a taxi back last night, he drove like bat out of hell so it only cost us £13!
We would use it again for short city visit stops only, as we didn't like the squashed in layout and the ring road noise was loud when the wind was in the wrong direction.
However considering it's the busiest time of the year for Edinburgh and it is a city suburb site, not a country idyll, it wasn't half bad

Just back from a 3 night stay. Very busy due the edinburgh festival but still a quiet site. The playpark was ideal for the kids and a small amusement arcade kept them amused.
There is a TV room which was a nice wee extra. Two shower blocks very clean and well maintained one of the blocks has underfloor heating and massive cubicles.
Lovely walks in the Mortonhall estate and its only 10 mins from the city centre.
Small shop on site with basics but tesco is a 5 min drive away. The only thing I would fault is there is no evening entertainment which the kids look forward to.

What a lovely site set in the grounds of the hall, great walks round the grounds a garden centre with cafe good cup of tea, and a pub on site
The Stables that did good food along with other halfs favourite beer and had a cobbled courtyard to sit out in when the sun came out.
The toilet block was immaculate would have liked a couple of privacy cubicles but water was hot and showers good.
There was a shop on site that sold gifts and every thing else you would need and of course the lovely morning rolls (do miss them now home) along with papers.
There was a bus stop a couple of minutes from entrance straight into Princess Street which was as usual very busy will definitely be back.

Visited twice already, pitches are generous in size and facilities are brilliant. In windy days, the kitchen is really useful and convenient.
In June, we pitched at higher area (pitch #400+), which is the best location in the park from my opinion. It is a pity that the higher part pitches are only opened in summer, so we could not pitch there this time in Sep.
The toilet blocks in the upper part are excellent, all private bathrooms.
There are Toby Carvery nearby.
This site is a good base to visit Lothian area, as the Edinburgh city bypass is nearby, you do not have to get in and our the city all the time.

Stayed 2 nights and friends stayed in a wigwam. The pitch we found a bit on the small side, our van is tiny and had planned on putting the awning up, just as well it poured the entire weekend and it never made it up as we would have struggled with the space.
Having said that the facilities on site were great. The tv room and pool table kept us entertained and out of the rain and the pub on site ensured we were fed and watered.
The toilets and showers were spacious and clean, but we were there when the site was quiet.
There is a large garden surrounding the Hall that can be accessed from the road at the back of the court yard. Overall a good site and the wigwams are spacious too, although they are bit more expensive than other places.

We booked a 3-bedroom holiday home for a three-generation family visit, first grandson just 9 weeks old, his first camping trip! The caravan was lovely.
Very spacious lounge / dining / kitchen with cooker, microwave, fridge and kettle. No toaster. The bedrooms were, as usual, skimpy, the two twin rooms were extra skimpy for adult use. But only the double room had space for the Moses basket, and then at the foot of the bed. So we managed okay.
To our surprise there was a cloakroom (toilet and basin) as well as a shower room (toilet basin and shower). The shower cubicle was unusually large for a caravan one, oblong, and the water supply to it was great. Hence we never needed to use the shower blocks.
The on-site Stable bar was used, with friends who were also staying, and they put us all together. Fair value for money, excellent food, good variety, vegetarians not forgotten. So good we ate there two of our three nights.
Staff very friendly, welcoming and helpful.
The site didn't seem unduly busy, though must have been about half full.
Very conveniently placed for access to Edinburgh or other touristy places. We had an excellent visit to the Scottish Mining Museum, to South Queensferry with a boat trip on the Forth, as well as a tourist bus round the city.
Would be delighted to go there again.
