Beautiful, clean, picturesque site.
Bolam West Houses Farm
A very quiet and peaceful site with adequate space for all. Lots to see and do locally. Pleasant dog walk two minutes away along a bridlepath and lots of areas around to explore with dogs. Highly recommend this site and friendly owner. Site has easy access to tap and waste. Priced reasonably in view of current ridiculously high energy costs. Worth every penny.
Pleasant site but over-priced
Bolam West Houses Farm
This is a nice basic CL on a quiet road with easy access and friendly reception. However, I think it is over-priced at £25, considering it has just the one tap and a waste emptying area in the middle of the field with no fence round it. I would have no criticism of the site if I was paying £17 - £20.

A wonderful CL
Bolam West Houses Farm
This CL was great. We booked it by phone on the day we wanted to stay, and luckily John has space for us to stay the 6 nights we wanted. It is a well laid out site, nice and peaceful, with easy access, the road is next to it, but was not busy. John was really helpful when we got there, and showed us to our pitch, plus gave us local information. We had lovely views from the site, in the distance were the Cheviot Hills, though one day a storm came through and the view disappeared many times that day!!! We have a dog and there were plenty of nice places to take him on a walk. There is a bridleway very close by where you can go up to Shaftoe Crags and beyond, Bolam Lakes Country Park, plus on the quiet lanes nearby, watching and being watched by the sheep in the fields. There are alot of places to visit nearby, Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens (the Quarry gardens were excellent) (EH), Wallington House (NT), Cragside (NT), Rothbury, Bellingham and Otterburn Mill. Plus there are so many other places within driving distance, Kielder Water and Forest, Alnwick, plus the coast. We look forward to staying at the CL again.
Great Site
Bolam West Houses Farm
On arrival on site we were welcomed by John who showed us where everything was and place in the area to visit.
Very dog friendly site with access to walks close by.
Site immaculate.

A really nice place to stay
Bolam West Houses Farm
Recently made our second visit to this CL and recommend it. Warm welcome from the owners and all facilities are as they should be. The site is well maintained and there is plenty of space. Access is easy. It is situated in a lovely and quiet part of Northumberland with walks from the site. It is easy to visit attractions in the area and we particularly enjoyed the National Trust properties at Cragside and Wallington (very close by).
