Peaceful site, ideal for visiting Edinburgh

Slatebarns
Peaceful CL with limited views, friendly, helpful owner and information in the on-site toilet. Toilet shed was really clean and the site itself is very well maintained. Rosslyn chapel is a two minute walk from the site. The tours are around an hour and a half and there is a tea room. 7-10 minutes walk (some uphill )brings you into Roslin Village, where are the Roslin Hotel and pub with outdoor seating, another B&B with Dollies tearoom. The tea room serves a delicious Scottish breakfast amongst other goodies. There is a co-op just a couple of minutes further down the road. We got the bus into Edinburgh, it picks up just outside the tearoom and takes around 45 minutes, £1.80 per adult one way. return stop is Roslin hotel. Straiton park-and-ride is 10 minutes in the car from the site and the bus takes around 20-25 minutes into Edinburgh. We visited the yacht Britannia which was excellent, also the surgeons Hall with lots of interesting body parts and diseases, and Mary Kings Street where the houses were underground. All really interesting and worth a visit. Get off the bus at surgeons Hall for visit and it’s about 10 minutes walk to the Royal Mile. A lovely site with good space between caravans and you can pitch wherever you want that’s available, and whichever direction you want. This is one of the things we absolutely love about CLs and hate being squashed in on a line. Certainly would recommend it, and thanks very much for a great stay.

A hidden gem

Slatebarns
Stopped here for four nights to visit family. Site is immaculate with a single toilet. Hard standings with grass surrounding. Village has good shops and eating places. Great walks in the glen but it is hilly. Owners are so welcoming every time we stay and it is a short distance from bypass so access is good. Buses nearby to city are great and frequent.

Love this simple site

Slatebarns
We have stayed here twice and each time it has been fab. The owner is lovely, the ehu is 16amp, and the pitches are hard standing, large and flat. There are lots of birds around the site and on our October stay lots of mushrooms and other fungi. The original Rosslyn Inn does a good pint and a decent dinner and Dolly's tearoom does a fabulous breakfast ~I can recommend the porridge! There's a coop in the village and several other little shops. Everyone is super friendly and of course the (in)famous Chapel is literally 2 mins walk up the lane. Which also has a tea room! Lovely walks in the Glen. The only thing to be wary of is the single track lane to access once you've passed the Chapel, but it's short and there is a passing place. One clean loo but no shower. 20 mins drive right into the city centre, 5 minutes to a range of supermarkets. What more could you want?

What a great site. We’d happily recommend and will, I hope, return there. Well located too.

Slatebarns
Spent a week here in late Nov early Jan. Easy regular buses to Edinburgh centre, lots to see within easy car ride (eg Kelpies & Falkirk Wheel), Rosslyn Chapel is about 100 yards away! Good pub in the village (10 mins on foot) and very nice owners.

Motorhome waste water disposal at this site

Slatebarns
Agree with all the good pointe in other reviews, BUT waste water disposal is sixty feet from the nearest access for a motorhome, and uphill, so unless you have a separate mobile tank, beware! Sign saying "please dispose of all grey water in chemical disposal point. Not in hedge CCTV in operation" Also no sign of any Covid-19 precautions -- no hand sanitiser, no QR code. No idea where the information room is -- we were not told on arrival. No welcome pack.
