From the moment you roll up to the gate you are welcomed by helpful and polite staff members. You are then escorted to your pitch via gated entrance. The facilities are excellent. Toilets and showers very clean and well maintained. Non slip floors and wet rooms. Family room provided for taking the little ones in, toilet, basin, hand dryer etc. Every area has mop and bucket. You don't mind washing fine your area as you finish because you know the person before has done the same. Laundry room, recreation room ( somewhere dry if the weather catches you out). All usual wash room facilities for eating equipment, chemical toilets etc. Motor home refill point etc. All very well thought out. Wifi on the site, although is charge and is a little on the pricey side, but there if you need it. The entire area us well kept, grass well cut, pot plants, hanging baskets all over making it like home from home. Joined up to the camping and caravan club which made it cheaper and well worth it. Kids loved being able to run free but at the same time knew when to be quiet for others. Think this will become our second home. Can't wait to come back.

Location : Adjacent to the Scone Race Course Ease of Access : Driven is ok, along a country road round past the Scone Palace Estate. For motorhomers, you'd need your bikes or another vehicle to get to the shops etc. There may be a local bus from the end of the road that takes you through Scone to Perth - need to check that point. Overall - site looks well run, peaceful and the feeling of being remote. There should be some good walks and cycle paths from the site. We will visit at some point in 2016 and update the review.

My husband and I along with his parents were recommended to visit the above for lunch today.We…read moreordered our sandwiches and drinks - tea, coffee etc., and opted to have the drinks served as soon as possible. A little time after we had been given our drinks the waitress told us there was a 'backlog' in the kitchen and our food would be delayed.Twenty five minutes later when our sandwiches were finally served (mine had to go back because there was an error) our drinks were long finished and we suggested to the waitress that complimentary teas and coffees would be appreciated.She went off to seek guidance and returned to tell us that as all food was freshly made there was always a time lapse and drinks would not be forthcoming.Later the manageress approached us and accused us of trying a ruse to obtain free drinks! As you can imagine this was insulting and also, I can assure you, quite untrue.Because of the rudeness of this woman I asked if the owner was available and was directed to the foyer where a young man was told by the manageress that we 'didn't want to pay for our drinks' - not true.My husband explained that as we are in business for ourselves (we are a tourism company) that we would never, ever treat our customers in the way we had been treated but the upshot was that we were ordered to pay for our meal, leave the restaurant and never return.My sandwich had been redone and returned to the table by this time but had to be left uneaten.I am sparing you the verbatim account of what passed between this unpleasant couple and my husband and myself but as people who have been fortunate enough to travel all over Scotland and many countries abroad I can honestly say that I have never come across such attitudes before and although the food in the Wishing Well may be recommended having people like this running an establishment should definitely have no recommendation.

A couple of weeks ago, G-Bot and I decided to go on an outdoor adventure and so packed our camping…read moregear, put on our hiking boots and cagoules and set off on our trip in Betty. After my brother telling me that Buckfast swigging youths tend to head up to the Balloch area in the summer in their pimped out rides I figured that we'd try somewhere a bit quieter as I'm not down with that at all. We ended up in Luss and what a beautiful little town it is. The Luss Caravan and Camping Site is absolutely stunning with plenty of space and the most picture postcard picturesque views you could imagine. Waking up to the sun rising over the loch every morning would be a dream come true and even though we only stayed for a night I felt that the clean air and tranquil setting recharged my batteries. It was £25 for us to pitch our tent for the night and I have to say, I found that a bit steep but we had the option to leave the car outside the camping ground and pay only £16 but for all of the hassle of lugging the tend and goods all over the place we decided to just go the whole haul. It might even be a bargain, I'm not sure what to going rate for a campsite is but it was a £25 well spent. The staff who run the campsite are very friendly and the gift shop is well stocked and reasonably priced too. The toilets were clean and fresh and there was even a small play park for the little 'uns. If you're thinking of going camping then I highly recommend this campsite, it's idyllic.

As a first time motorhome hirer, we thought this place might make a lovely looking stop for our…read morevery first night. Well, we'd heard caravanning was a bit cliquish. And, how true!! I phoned to ask how the members-only system worked for new visitors. A reasonably polite woman gave me a rather confusing explanation about us either having to be full members (but we were too late to join as you can't do so on the same day - thanks!) or the hire company having to be Privilege members of the Club, and they'd accept that. So I phoned the hire company who confirmed they were. So I phoned the site back, this time getting an incredibly brusque man who rudely told me to go away as they don't in fact accept Privilege members, giving me an earful about the hire company not knowing the rules. After I'd hung up at his bad manners, he later phoned me back demanding I tell him who had recommended them so he could complain about them too. Well, apparently his own staff don't know the rules either, or I could have saved myself half an hour of wasted grief. What an experience to give first-timers considering this activity for the first time. If we hadn't booked our vehicle already, I'd be giving up in disgust at the hostile and unfriendly attitudes.

The site was dead so it wasn't hard to get a table but the weather was pretty good so the choice got smaller for a table outside but we were lucky. The staff were friendly and laid back and although this wasn't a problem I did wonder if this approach would work when the season kicked on. The food was pretty tasty with favourites like fish and chips and steak and chips cooked well with nice accompaniments. I was told the steak was Aberdeen Angus so was happy to ask for it medium rare, which is what I was given, along with a big juicy flat mushroom and grilled tomato. We washed it down with a very refreshing lager called Sunburst from a local micro- brewery, which was a nice touch for the choice on tap.

I like to go early mornings to walk the dog when it is quiet and you only have the odd jogger and the ducks in sight. I'm not sure the actual distance round the perimeter - 3 miles I think so not bad if you fancy getting a decent bit of exercise. The park also hosts Parkrun on a Saturday morning for semi-competitive folks. The boat house (loads of water sports options available) cafe is also a nice stop off point for a quick refreshment and there is plenty of green space as well as a small beach to chill out and eat some home packed grub. I tend to avoid school holidays and any time after midday as the park sits right next to M&Ds amusement park and can become a bit of a nedfest but to be honest I'm probably just being overly judgmental. Busy crowds just ain't my thing. Definitely deserving of four stars as it really is a lovely part of Scotland and a nice wee escape from the town-y environs of EK, Hamilton and Motherwell.

There's some great swings and such for children and the childlike alike and it's on the site of M & D's which has a good indoor centre with arcade games, bowling and pool which can help make a day of coming here. The rides in the theme park themselves are a bit of a let down. Watch where you park your car at night, as there have been reports of 'doggers'!
