    Property was cleaned and had everything you need for few days. Bus near by that takes you to Edinburgh city centre in less than an hour (£5p/p return ticket). Owners were great and easy to contact if having any questions! We were there for new...

    I liked the cleanliness and facilities that were there. The kitchen had good appliances and the rooms included games and CDs for the children. Also, the caravan was decorated for Christmas which was a nice and touch.

    It was self catering We used it as a base to travel to see relatives. It’s in a great location for visiting various places. We went to see The Kelpies. And it’s very close to the beach for an early morning walk.
