From the manager: Hi Rachel, Thank you for your feedback on your stay, were pleased to hear that you enjoyed the facilities. We are sorry that you disliked the shop opening hours. To clarify, the campsite shop is open 8:30am - 6:00pm (9 hours) and run by our very hard working wardens every day and does not close for lunch. There is a Tesco Express and Scot Mid about 5 minutes from the caravan park that remain open until later and a 24 hour Asda in Livingston. We hope that the shop hours do not affect your choice to stay with us in future. Many Thanks, The Linwater Team

Liked: Clean and quiet Very nice friendly lady in reception Park-and-ride was excellent, although a little bit far from the site
Disliked: Too far from shops Hot water setting for 15 seconds is not sufficient for a shower. I was forever pressing the button to get more water. Terrible potholes in the roads near site Was difficult to find and poorly posted
