Plenty opportunities to let your dog off lead away from any hazards. Beautiful river to enjoy or fish etc. Site has all the necessary amenities and is clean and well maintained. I tend to go there for New Year and it can get very cold, icy and has had snow last year too. Only thing to mention is that the water supply to the touring area freezes so is switched off in winter months, water can be obtained from top of site. I have a motorhome so just took a drive up when I needed to fill up, just be prepared for this, however, it is not a hardship at all. Owners are so lovely and nothing is a bother to them. Site is approx 14 miles from Keilder and approx 16 miles from Jedburgh. 6 months ago Β· via Google Kathleen Marshall β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… Love the peace and quiet of the area.
