Why stay here ...

Our Hideaway Site is perfect for adults looking for a tranquil spot to use as a base for exploring the beautiful coastline and countryside of North Northumberland.

Surrounded by open farmland, the only sounds which will awaken you in the morning are those of the sheep and the birds (and perhaps the occasional tractor!)

Take a stroll down the hill and you can stop a while by the Waren Burn where, if you are lucky, you may spot a Kingfisher or even an Otter! The hamlet of Spindlestone is a haven for wildlife, with roe deer, badger, fox and hare all regular visitors. Take a stroll up through the farm to the Hide at the Barrack Wood; nature lovers will appreciate both the wildlife and the solitude. The Bamburgh Bee Company operates just down the hill where Honey is available for sale from our own Bees! The amazing white sands of Budle Bay are a 5 minute drive; stunning scenery and part of the Lindisfarne Nature Reserve. A further three minute drive down the coast brings you to Bamburgh and another stunning beach shadowed by its historic Castle.

The site comprises a grass paddock with a hard surfaced roadway. Each pitch extends to 10m x 10m grass, dedicated electrical hook-up and communal drinking water. Chemical waste disposal point.

Fantastic Gem of a site

Lovely site, received a warm welcome from Mark and the honey is delicious - spotted roe deer and hares. Very peaceful at night. Easy walk to Budle Bay from the site and we cycled to Bamburgh. Loved our stay here. A gem of a site.

Peace perfect peace

Great location and so peaceful, countryside views all around Walks from site. No problem at all with size of lots (we have a 6.6m 2 berth with full awning and car). Host was very knowledgeable and welcoming (having a hand out of all his knowledge would be even better!). Took his advice and had... Show more

We stayed for four nights at the end of August and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We found Mark to be a friendly and most helpful host. We were able to rent two electric bikes for a couple of days from Mark which very much added to the enjoyment of our... Show more

Pitches far to small for a car, caravan and awning.

Mark is a friendly and helpful host and the site is in a super location, right on Cycleway 1 with excellent cycling and walking. But...... the site is unfortunately far to cramped. More laid out as a camper stop really. If there were 5 caravans all with awnings plus the... Show more

Lovely Site but Tight

We stayed here for 4 nights in August as part of a multi centre trip. The site is very nice with some great walks / cycle rides to local attractions. It is on a quiet road. I do agree with comments on size of pitches and the number on this site... Show more

Peaceful but very cramped

As others have said, it's a well located peaceful site, but there are pitches for seven caravans/motorhomes on a narrow strip of land which is barely big enough for five pitches. We had difficulty siting our twin axle caravan onto a pitch because the boundary fence made it very difficult... Show more

Great location but….

the pitches are too close to each other. The CL is a narrow strip of land with 7 hard-standings in a row made of rough stone. They are accessed from the CL’s access track in front of them that runs parallel to the quiet Spindlestone lane which each... Show more

I had a great 4 night stay from the 15th May 2023 and it’s a peaceful and lovely little spot in the countryside but close to Budle Beach and Bamburgh Castle. Great area for walks, cycling and beaches. The host Mark was very helpful and even gave me a pot... Show more

Perfect peaceful site in beautiful countryside

Loved our three night stay here, didn’t want to leave as it is an idyllic site in a beautiful part of the country. From a practical perspective - good size hard standing pitch with EHU, water and plenty of rubbish bins, with grey water and chemical toilet disposal all nearby.... Show more
