This is a lovely site that we thoroughly recommend. The access is easy and the site is level and well cared for. There is plenty of room for the vans to be well spaced. All the facilities are conveniently close. We received a warm welcome and the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. We arrived on one of the 4 days in the week that the adjoining coffee shop is open so were able to enjoy some delicious apple pie and cake. It is very popular with cyclists and other visitors but this just added to the pleasant atmosphere. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area, both towards the coast and inland. The scenery is wonderful and there are several National Trust and English Heritage properties to explore as well as Hadrian's wall. We found everyone we met so friendly and helpful. We had our two spaniels with us. We did go to Bolam Lake with them but, on a sunny Sunday afternoon, it was quite crowded and we didn't let them off the lead in case they stole someone's picnic! However we found a wonderful place to walk them at a Forestry Commission site at Rothbury Wood.
