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.
