Detailed Reviews
This is a fantastic well run and very clean site, the owners were very helpful as was the information given when booking, especially the Chinese takeaway, which was delivered to the site, great food at a great price. it was also very easy to get the bus £2 each way into Edinburgh which we did 3 times during our stay.
We will defiantly return to this site.

This is a great wee site. The owners are friendly and helpful - I booked the wrong dates and they were still able to accommodate our caravan and didn’t look for payment for the mix up. The toilet block is spotless and cleaned regularly although there are only two showers each in the male and female toilets so if site is busy you may have to queue - or just come back later. If you have dogs there is a country park next door with lots of walking in the woods - perfect. It only takes 5 minutes to walk into Roslin village which has a food store, pub, cafe and bus stops to get buses into Edinburgh. Of course not forgetting Roslyn Chapel which is next door to the site. If coming to the Edinburgh area this is the site I will pitch up on.

This is a lovely campsite and perfect for a city break to Edinburgh. It’s not huge, which is a bonus for me anyway, the facilities are high quality and spotless and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Extra bonuses - buses to Edinburgh are every 20 minutes and the bus stop is a 5-min walk. Opposite the bus stop is The Original Rosslyn Inn, which is just lovely, Great food, dog -friendly, pretty much perfect. Really can’t think of anything that could be better at this site. Even in the pouring rain, it’s a joy!

Thanks Kate for your lovely review - we're glad you enjoyed staying with us - pity about the weather when you were here - you will need to revisit when the sun is shining and see the park at its best ;0)

Thanks for another wonderful stay with the usual warm, friendly welcome as always. An idyllic, well-kept site with a modern, spotless facilities block and Covid precautions taken. Mix of hardstanding and grass pitches.
Walks aplenty from the site, little to no traffic noise despite the village being just a couple of hundred yards away, and regular buses from the village to Edinburgh city centre. The village has a lovely tea-room and also an inn which serves fabulous food plus the famous Rosslyn Chapel.
For shopping, Asda, Sainsbury's, Costco, Ikea and a very large retail park are all within a 10 minute drive.
Hopefully we'll be back before too long.

Great site very quiet and clean.
Me and the husband spent two nights here with our dog.
The facilities are just perfect everything you could need. Toilets, shower, laundry room and area to wash your dirty pots.
These were all kept to a very high level of cleanliness.
The surrounding area is very tranquil and the pub and the end of the lane was very accommodating as we never needed to book just walked in and was seated at a table straight away.
Everyone was very welcoming. Thanks guys for a well relaxed few days.
We shall be back xx

This was one of our favourite sites. The owners are great and very helpful when we had issues with our motorhome. The amenities are very clean and pitches were good sizes. The caravan park is in a great location and situated very close to the Rosslyn Chapel and a lovely pub at the end of the laneway. Would highly recommend.

Lovely small quiet site, great facilities and friendly owner who came down to the site when we arrived as we were a little late on. We were a party of 3 campers and had 3 lovely level serviced pitches at the bottom of the site, it was nice and quiet and relaxed. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area and if we are in the area again we will definitely be staying here again.

Slatebarns is a little hidden gem which is so handy for visiting Edinburgh . Its unique location next to the beautiful Rosslyn Chapel and the lovely little village of Roslin which has cafe, restaurant/pub and a convenience store.
The staff were extremely helpful as i explained i would be in a wheelchair. The disabled facilities were huge and very clean, but the high narrow path to the facilities was difficult to navigate for my partner. this is the only thing that i would mention.
the site is well kept, quiet and relaxing.
I am now ambulant and cant wait to go back to a wee piece of heaven.

Fantastic motorhome park, very helpful staff. We even booked another night at the end of our trip back there, we arrived really early but was welcomed in no problem. Extremely clean site especially the showers. Some fantastic walks just along the road. Great pub in the village. Would definitely recommend and go back again. Thanks for having us!!
