Disliked: Shop was closed

Recommend to friends Visit again

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

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

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

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Ronald, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a comprehensive review of your stay at Linwater. We're pleased you had a pleasant stay and enjoyed the quiet nature of the park as well as the friendly welcome. To enjoy the peace and tranquillity that the Edinburgh suburbs that to offer, this does mean being out of town a little, we are sorry to hear that the shops were too far for your liking. We're sorry to hear that you thought that park was difficult to find. We have roughly 5 brown signs and we send out two emails with comprehensive details on how to get to the park from all routes. If you have any feedback on these directions, please let us know and we can amend them as necessary. You have noted in your feedback that you would visit the park again, so we look forward to meeting you for future bookings. Many Thanks, The Linwater Team

Electric grass pitch

Liked: It was for us completely perfect place. The shower/toilets were better than at home. ground flat and spacious, close to airport so low planes. lovely walk into the countryside. Chicken and rabbits running around. staff very helpful and the place was secure there is a barrier to get in and out, Very goid value for money and great for campers they had a block with dinnng room, kitchen and a Wi to play on. exceptionally clean.

Disliked: Had to come home. There was absolutley nothing i disliked, tho some people might not lime the planes so low and nosiy. but loved it.

Local attractions

Linwater Caravan Park's locale means you're well set for both countryside and city days, or to break up a journey on your way north or south. Around the area, a mile away in a disused quarry is the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena, with the biggest indoor climbing wall in the world (well worth tackling for the boasting rights gained for afterwards, one might suggest). The towpath walks of the Union Canal are nearby and the shows and exhibitions of the Royal Highland Showground are within four miles. You can also easily drive to the Kelpies, the biggest horsey structures on the planet, and to the Falkirk Wheel, the boat lift connecting the Union and the Forth and Clyde canals.
