Enjoyable Stay On Good CL
We arrived on Sunday 11/08 to heavy rain. However the ground seemed to hold the deluge well. We pitched on 1 of the 4 hard standings on site the other being a grass pitch. There are good views from the site, but there is an electricity pylon next to the CL, although it did not affect our enjoyment. We stayed for 5 nights. The hard standing was large enough for the caravan and a porch air awning with room to spare on either side. Unlike the previous reviewer we could not get a TV signal, again not a issue to us. We did not meet Cameron & Jess until Monday and they were very pleasant couple. It was good value for a pitch with water, waste & electrics.
Access to the CL was about 1 mile from the A697. The surrounding area is good for cycling/walking. Across the river Breamish there is a village called Branton. There is a B&B called Bosk which is also a cafe (10:30 - 16:00), the food we purchased here was excellent. However it is closed on Tuesday & Wednesday. There is also a small cafe in Ingram and Powburn both within walking, or cycling distance. We also visited Wooler on a couple of occasions which is a very nice small town. This was our first time staying in this area and the CL is definitely a good location for visiting Northumberland’s attractions. To me the basis of a good site is would you go back and I will definitely be back, as long as Cameron and Jess do something about the weather!
