A pleasant open site with a scattering of trees that allow views in all directions. It's a lovely setting. Caravans are well spaced and easy access for setting up. It's a pity it's not open in winter! The toilet block and facilities are decent and kept clean. It's early September and we've not had to queue for the toilets/ showers although there's potential for queueing at busy times as only 3 showers in both male and female washrooms. The wifi isn't up too much and kept dropping out every few minutes but 4g data signal was fine on Vodafone and BT sims. At the bottom of the site there's access to Thirlstane Castle drive that gives access to walks suitable for dogs and the castle itself. If you drop onto the drive and head toward the Castle there's a 'cross road'. Turn right and head toward a bridge at the bottom. Just before the bridge go through a 5 bar gate on the left and you're on the "Lauder Loop" walk made up of mown grass walkways along the riverside and a gravelled road at the town end. This takes about 35 mins from the site to the town near the Co-op. We've really enjoyed staying here and found it a good area for visiting historic sites in all directions.
