Nur ein Wendekreis, aber OK, um ein paar Stunden zu schlafen

    I didn’t have to deal with the farmer I just stayed there and that’s it. i think he only ask for money in summer.

  • 5/5

    Great stop over, nice and quiet. Really polite farmer arrived for £5 just after 8am.

  • 5/5

    Perfect for a stopover when an unexpected swap at work allows 2 days off. We have stayed here a few times, travel down from Ayrshire and spend the day at Caledonia park and Carlisle for dinner or Keswick. Lovely farmer comes to pick up his fiver in the morning but he really needs an honesty box, seen people leave early without paying a thing, and what can you get for a fiver these days.

  • 5/5

    Great little stopping point. Arrived 3am, 5 hour sleep exactly what was needed to get going again. Lovely farmer came for his fiver, well worth it. Train noises didn't bother us at all, quite soothing even

  • 5/5

    Great little spot for a one night stop over. we arrived at 9pm and there were no other vehicles. 2 camper vans turned up later. True to the reviews Farmer turned up at 8am for his fiver. You need to watch out for this spot our sat nav went past it. Trains do run all night, but didn't really bother us and our 5 year old slept through them all.

  • 2/5

    Bruyant car sur rond-point et à côté d’une voie ferrée. Aucun intérêt sauf pour une pose ou arrivée tardive.

  • 5/5

    Nice spot away from the main road. Feels safe, there is a road lamp nearby, a nice man came in the morning (around 8) to pick up the 5£.

  • 4/5

    Not a pretty one but did the job! Some noise from trains but didn’t really bother us. Fairly set back from road for a little bit of privacy.

  • 2/5

    Sadly we wouldn’t recommend this place if you need to sleep. Lovely Farmer Wilson is very friendly but the train track is a major route and trains, (some very long and loud freight trains) run throughout the night. Even with earplugs in sounds like plane is landing on top of you. We stayed mid week so weekend may be quieter.

    Nice peaceful stop over on our way to nc500. Just off the motorway. Farmer came and collect the £5 about an hour after we arrived. Great little stop

  • 5/5

    Handy little stop over for travelling north. Well located for Gretna too. Plenty of space and little road/train noise. Farmer was very friendly and well worth a fiver

  • 5/5

    What a brilliant stopover place, not that much road noise and great nights sleep as well. Really cheery farmer in the morning who was there to pay your £5 to and a nice walk up to the post office in Springfield very friendly staff - so wish there were more places like this to stopover at as it’s hassle-free and relaxing, we’ll worth a fiver!

  • 4/5

    Ideal for an overnight parkup, us and one other van, quite night with a few trains. Owner came at 8.00 am for his fiver. would use again.

  • 5/5

    Perfect for a night, farmer came at 6pm by car to collect the £5. There is a large board telling that overnight parking is £5 for motorhome.

  • 4/5

    Nice clean and flat little spot. £5 fpr the night farmer pops by to collect and was very friendly. Enough room for a few vans Just us and one other last night. A little bit of road noise and few trains and lorries passing but we managed to sleep fine a sit was fairly quiet in the night. Not too far from Gretna green and a small village. No facilities so hope people keep it clean.

  • 1/5

    Noisy with the train right next to it. And a farmer woke me up banging on the window wanting a fiver.

  • 4/5

    Terrain bien plat. Bruit de la route et du train pas très gênant car peu de passage la nuit. Le propriétaire est venu nous voir en tracteur le matin pour qu’on lui verse les 5£.

  • 5/5

    We need more places like this. £5 worth it no problem.

  • 5/5

    Pulled up at 12 and left for 6, hard standing does have small sign saying overnight 5 pounds but no box or house nearby, service just up the road for toilet

  • 5/5

    Stayed last night. Arrived late and left early. No issues. No litter. Hope it’s kept clean by other vanners as it’s an ideal stop off when heading north or south.

  • 5/5

    Perfect place to stop to break up a long trip. Close to the motorway but not noisy, the occasional train. Three other campers when we stayed and plenty of room.

  • 5/5

    Perfect location to spend the Night. quiet, flat, close to the road.

  • 4/5

    Decent overnight stop. About 10 minutes walk into Gretna Green. Trains pass but not too obtrusive. Occasional passing traffic. Generally peaceful.

  • 4/5

    Peaceful overnight stop, very flat. no amenities.

  • 5/5

    Great place to park up for a night. Very quiet even with the track close by

  • 5/5

    Perfect for a great night sleep close to motorway and trains didn’t bother us.

  • 3/5

    Fine for a night stop off going south. quiet apart from the train line virgin express but I kinda liked that.

  • 3/5

    Une nuit passée sur place. Calme, peu de paqsage (sauf bruit de l'autoroute en fond). Pas glamour mais bien pour repos.
