Hotel Details

Location

Right on the East Lothian coast, Seton Sands is a few steps from Longniddry Beach and a short bus ride from central Edinburgh.
The park sits directly opposite Seton Sands Longniddry Beach, making beach access immediate. A bus stop at the main entrance provides the number 26 service into Edinburgh city centre every 10-20 minutes, with a journey of about an hour passing Edinburgh Zoo; a day ticket is very reasonably priced. Edinburgh Waverley station is 22 km away, Arthur's Seat and Dalhousie Castle are 20 km away, Muirfield is 12 km, and Edinburgh Airport is 33 km. The touring section's hardstanding pitches are well-laid-out and separated by hedges, though the main paths around the park can become muddy after rain. For families visiting Edinburgh, the bus service makes a car optional.

Accommodation

Three-bedroom, two-bathroom holiday homes with sea views, a patio, and a fully equipped kitchen.
The accommodation is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom holiday home with a living room. The kitchen includes a stovetop, refrigerator, oven, microwave, toaster, electric kettle, and a coffee machine. Bedrooms have wardrobes and carpeted floors. Some caravans feature a patio or decking with outdoor furniture. Beds are generally considered comfortable, though some sofas and mattresses have been described as needing attention; bringing personal throws may be practical. Sofa bed linen is provided. Some caravans have a dishwasher, washing machine, and full-size fridge freezer. Caravans facing the sea offer good views, but road-facing ones can be noisier. Caravan cleanliness and condition vary significantly by grade: Bronze and Silver grades have more frequent reports of stains, dust, and minor maintenance issues, while Gold-grade units are consistently described as clean and well-maintained.

Dining

On-site dining is limited to a single restaurant and a chip shop; the mini market provides self-catering options.
The park has one restaurant, Boatie Blest, serving pub-grub meals. Opening hours are limited - food service may end as early as 7:45pm - and the restaurant can be busy with no tables available for walk-ins. The chip shop provides fish and chips but is closed on certain days; the quality of the fish and chips has been described as inconsistent and not fresh. The on-site mini market stocks groceries and is reasonably priced. For those wanting more variety, a larger Co-op is a short drive away, and there are several independent takeaways in the nearby village of Port Seton. The bar area serves drinks, including some non-alcoholic options, and offers a showbar with evening entertainment. The restaurant menu is not suited to health-conscious diners.

Wellness and Leisure

An indoor swimming pool with a flume and lifeguard supervision, plus evening entertainment in the showbar.
The indoor swimming pool is a key facility. It has a flume, though the flume may only be open for short periods during each swim session due to low water pressure or staff availability. The pool can be closed at short notice (e.g., due to an accident). The water temperature is often described as cold, especially for young children. The changing rooms and showering areas in the pool complex can be poor. Outside the pool, the park has a small arcade with some machines not working. For older children (8+), activities are limited. A bungee trampoline and climbing wall may be cancelled. There is no indoor soft play area. The touring site has a small playground with a slide. Foot golf is available at a nearby golf course.

Facilities and Services

Free private parking, free WiFi in rooms, a laundrette, and a minimarket on site, with security staff available.
Private parking is free and on site with no reservation needed. WiFi is free in rooms, though signal can be weak in some areas, particularly for the app. A laundrette is available at an additional charge. The mini market stocks basic groceries. Security staff are present on site 24/7, though reports suggest their authority is limited and response times can be slow. The touring section has chemical toilet disposal and a toilet/shower block that is in poor condition and looks like converted portacabins. There is no on-site business centre or meeting room. Mobility access is limited: some pathways are gravel, and the creative hub is only accessible by dragging a wheelchair over gravel. For those with a Fiat Ducato-style motorhome, the site entrance has a ramp that may catch the exhaust if taken too fast.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use the number 26 bus from the park entrance for direct, frequent service to Edinburgh city centre and Edinburgh Zoo.

  • 02

    Book a Gold-grade caravan or higher to minimise the risk of arriving to a caravan with cleaning or maintenance issues.

  • 03

    Avoid relying on the on-site restaurant and chip shop for all meals; the chip shop is closed on certain days and the restaurant has limited opening hours.

  • 04

    Plan to arrive after 4pm, as caravans may not be ready even if an early check-in time was purchased.
