No idea on TV as we don't use one, sorry. We always go in from the East using A198, fantastic drive, very scenic. Dont recall any hazards to think about, although our van isn't large and we tow with a 4x4. Look out for Tantallon Castle, superb! You will
need a bit of care through North Berwick if you go through town, avoid busy times.0 -
Yellowcraig has easy approaches from both East and West. As said earlier, The A198 is a good road, although North Berwick at rush hour can be a bit slow.
We never take a tv on holiday so I can't help you about the site's TV signal.
Have a good holiday

Quite a while since we have stayed at YC, we use a CL nowadays, so good that K has given you local information. Lovely around East Lothian, so much to see and do. One of our favourite places, and on list for later this year, fingers crossed!

We were there a couple of years ago and the directions in the sites handbook had changed. Going in we followed the new directions and it wasn't easy. Having driven around the area during our stay it seems that the reason for the change is that they now allow
on road parking along the short stretch of road by the bowling club in North Berwick which makes the road quite narrow. Having said that I didn't fancy my chances of trying to follow the new directions in reverse, following them going in was bad enough, so
I came back the old way. I met one car on the narrow bit but didn't really have a problem.0 -
Stayed at Yellowcraig a few weeks ago when starting our Scotland tour. We had perfect tv (inc HD channels) on our Avtex.
Enjoy your stay - we certainly did (so did our Labrador, the place is alive with rabbits !)

Thanks for all the replies folks much appreciated, i will go the way i thought which is turn off and go past whitekirk etc as have no problem coping with a few narrow streets, also thanks for the info about TV saves me bothering taking my big amplified aerial.
My Retreiver is now ready for some rabbit chasing and swimming getting bouncier by the minute roll on Thursday0 -
Have a good time jeff, our dogs always loved it there as well. Early morning walks through pinewoods and dunes, then out onto beach, swim and back for a rest, lovely. Check out the Club's Great Days Out brochure as well, could save you a lot on visits to
places. Dirleton Castle and its hidden garden is beautiful, dog friendly and great place for a picnic. Seabirds Centre in North Berwick interesting as well, as is Museum of Flight! I think you can use Tesco Club card vouchers for some things as well!0 -
I'll echo the recommendation about the Museum of Flight. The chance to wander around and on board Concorde is well worth a visit. We also enjoy the walk into North Berwick, just go across the car park turn right across the dunes and across the golf course.
It's about three miles.0
