User reviews of Drummohr Caravan Park

We were looking for a base to visit the Edinburgh Fringe, so with its excellent bus and train links (Wallyford) to Edinburgh centre, Drummohr was very good indeed. (See notes on transport below.)
We found Drummohr to be a business like (when booking, expect to be asked for a non returnable deposit) and highly developed site which possesses all the facilities and standards of maintenance you would expect from a 5* rated site.
However, when the site is full - as it was for us - expect to feel crammed in.
We can confirm the there is no longer a charge for showers. Although well maintained / serviced, the two facilities blocks are aging a little. Again, when the site is full, there are insufficient showers to cope with the morning rush.
Considering it was peak of peak season with the Edinburgh Festival in progress, we thought that £20.50 / night for van, 2 people including EHU represented good value for money.
To sum up: a very competently operated site, probably best enjoyed when not full.
Notes on transport to Edinburgh centre:
• The Lothian Buses number 26 is 24 hour service. The stop is a 400-500 metre walk down a hill, the lane is unlit at night.
• The service runs reliably every 10 mins during the day and hourly throughout the night. The journey time is 50-65 mins to Princes Street.
• The best fare is currently £3 for an unlimited use day ticket. But be aware that there are two bus companies operating in Edinburgh, and one companies tickets are not accepted by the other.
• English Senior Citizen Concessionary Travel Cards are not valid in Scotland.
• Wallyford train station is just over 1 mile away. There is a free car park. (And an alternative bus service.)
• Trains are hourly and journey time is about 10 mins into Edinburgh Waverley. Last train back is about 23:00.
• Day return fare is currently £3.30.

Unfotunately didnt get to book for this site, had researched the place and was planning to go at short notice. Phoned up to book in and spoke to the most unhelpful woman, who was completely difficult at every turn, started when i couldnt tell her length of my caravan, tried to get through the call with gritted teeth,but ended up not booking when she demanded credit card payment over phone, i said i would be arriving in a hour and asked if i could pay when i arrived, shesaid she wanted immediate payment, she coninued to be rude, so i gave up and booked elsewhere,
Property Manager Response (12 Sep 2010):
We are sorry you had a bad experience when trying to make a telephone booking.
It is our policy at Drummohr to take a deposit for all bookings made over the phone even for same day bookings, we have never had a problem with this in the past.
At busy times and weekends the more information we get about the unit you are bringing helps us accomodte everyone on the most suitable pitches.

My husband and I both enjoyed our stay at this park. Reason for choosing this site was it,s proximity to the finnish line of the Chris Hoy half marathon. The site is a well thought out and well maintained site, with pleasant staff. My only gripe is the fact that you are charged for a shower and then to
have it run out before I had a chance to get my hair rinsed properly admittedly my hair is waist length
This is not a budget site and I would expect a shower to be an additional expence.
No where in the information from this site or what was sent through was this mentioned.

Property Manager Response (7 Jun 2010):
With referance to the comments from Catherine, in the past when we did not charge for showere people wasted a lot of water, leaving the showers running after they had finished and left the cubicle.
For 2011 we will not be charging for showers and hope that people will be more aware of using excess water.

Drum Mohr Park lies a mile or so off the main A1, on the south-eastern approach to Edinburgh. It is well signposted from the A1, and can be easily accessed even by larger outfits. The reception provides
detailed maps of the site, but you will still be shown to your pitch by a helpful escort.
This secluded sheltered park was originally the walled garden of a monastery. It is mainly level, carefully landscaped and planted with many attractive trees and shrubs. A large hedged area in the centre of the park has been set aside as a children’s play area with swings, a slide and other equipment. All 120 pitches are generously spaced and are within easy reach of water points. Two separate sanitary buildings are of a high standard, each with a chemical toilet disposal point and a fully equipped laundry room.
A code-operated barrier to the site provides security.
The site is partitioned into four areas around a large central section which itself surrounds the children’s play area. The internal roads are mainly surfaced with stone, and in places follow the gently curving layout of the tall hedges that border the camping areas.
The overall feeling is of being in a spacious and well-cared-for park, with plenty of peace and quiet if you want it. A regular bus service runs into Edinburgh from a stop situated at the end of the site’s entry road, so those seeking a city break will be equally well catered for.
