Excellent and peaceful stay

Just spent a week at this fab CL site. Very hospitable owner and son. Good access to places to visit, very quiet and spacious pitches. Neat, tidy and clean. Fresh eggs available (thanks Harry) - no hesitation in returning.

Wonderful few days at this tranquil site

A lovely few days spent at this beautiful, peaceful site. Very clean and well kept. The farm was easy to find and the roads leading up to it were wide enough to tow a 8ft van - we travelled through Whalton vs the smaller back roads. Upon arrival we were welcomed by John, who showed us where everything was and advised on best area to pitch - as it was quite wet underfoot. The ground was a little uneven, but to be expected for a grass pitch. There was plenty of space between us and the other vans which made it very easy to pitch up. Would highly recommend the Beresford Arms in Whalton, the food was excellent.

Beautiful, clean, picturesque site.

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

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

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.

A really nice place to stay

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).

More than the 5 caravans/motorhomes booked on to the site!

The friendly owner was quick to come out and welcome us on arrival and the site is well kept. The negative point was the 7 caravans/motorhomes squeezed on to the half an acre on one day/night and 6 for another day/night, we felt a bit like sardines! We won't return to this site for this reason.

Beautiful Northumberland Site

We stayed here for 4 nights during August. The site was easy to find, well maintained with plenty of room so that we didn’t feel cramped. The views of the countryside were lovely, with the Simonside Hills in the distance. John and Kathleen could not have been more welcoming or helpful. Although our visit was brief, we did manage to include a day at Cragside near Rothbury (well worth the time) there are many other places nearby that we would like to visit, which we shall do next time we’re here. Looking forward to coming back!
