Three days of snow

Spent three nights here. Excellent site for peace and tranquility. Weather was great if you like snow which I do. Watching the lambing in the next field and enjoyed the farm eggs and home made jam. Easy to visit the many tourist attractions Northumberland has to offer. Hope to return very soon.

Peaceful, immaculate, fully serviced pitch

We have been caravanning for over 25 years and this site is probably the best we have stayed at. The site is immaculately kept with spacious, fully serviced hard standing pitches - having individual electricity, water and waste all together is an absolute bonus. The recycling facilities are also excellent and kept very clean with separate bins for glass and cardboard/plastic which are regularly emptied, although we didn’t see or hear them ever being tidied during our 9 night stay. The area is peaceful and beautiful, a visit to The Bosk Restaurant (booking recommended) and the Ingram Cafe are a must - excellent food and very friendly. We visited Cragside National Trust (twice), Holy Island (twice) and the beautiful Breamish Valley. The dog walk straight from the site is really handy and leads straight to the Nature Reserve. We thoroughly recommend the superb food from Very British Farmhouse Kitchen ….. thank you Jess - we ordered (twice) picnic food and treats, which were delivered directly to the ‘van - including the best Bakewell Tart, Lemon Drizzle Cake and Viennese Whirls ever….. We are already looking at when we can book to return !

Quiet

One of the best CL sites we've stayed at. Individually serviced sites a real bonus. Great for walks. Good farming area. After a day's extremely heavy rain, the River Breamish was in full flow which was spectacular! Would like to visit again.

Just great!

 We have just returned from an 8 night stay at Brandon Ford, which is part of a 900 acre working farm. Very friendly owners and, even though they must be busy, are always ready for a chat and some useful information. The hardstanding pitches are fully serviced and the whole area of the CL is kept very tidy by Cameron. Very peaceful spot, no noise apart from occasional farm machinery and a few cows in the distance. There’s a convenience store and petrol station just under 2 miles away on the A697. A short walk across the river brings you to the Branton Lakes nature reserve, and you can hear the resident geese morning and evening. The Breamish valley is very attractive and the cafe in Ingram is very good too. It’s a great place for star watching with dark skies - we had an amazing view of the Milky Way one evening. Your own transport is probably required if you want to visit further afield. To top it all we were lucky enough to have marvellous weather too! Will we be back? Absolutely yes, already booked next year.

A SITE NOT TO BE MISSED

We have just spent 3 nights at this idyllic site (it was supposed to be 4 nights but a phone call from home meant we had to leave early). This site is a beautiful, extremely well kept site. Some people could be put off by it being on a working farm. Don't be. It is a beautifully quiet site, away from the farm buildings and the only farm noise we heard was the bleating of distant sheep. Whether you want to explore the Northumbrian countryside or coast or just chill out on the site this is the place for you. The River Breamish is about 200 yards away and a bridge takes you over the river to some woods which then leads to 2 lakes which you can easily walk around there is a cycleway and many hill walks too, a great place to take your dogs. The owners are unobtrusive but are easily contacted if necessary and they came to empty bins etc. at teatime everyday. My only suggestion of a slight improvement is a sign out on the road to direct you into the site. We nearly passed by but we noticed the roofs of caravans in the trees so we spotted it in time. All in all this is one of the best CLs we have seen and hope to be back again.

One of The Best

This site is ideally located to explore the Northumberland countryside and places of interest. The site is extremely well kept and maintained. The large pitches are nicely spaced and the overall impression on arrival was "wow". It would suit most members and is ideal for walkers, ramblers, cyclists, tourists, and for those who just want to chill out. The site owners are really friendly and always on hand if needed - covid rules kept the socialising to a minimum. We will definitely return and recommend it to our more energetic family members and friends.

Top Class CL

Immaculate CL. Grass cut prior to our arrival & once during our stay clippings collected. Fully serviced hard standing level pitches that are Excellent for walking with or without a dog direct from site. Also excellent for cycling direct from site. Easy access and directions. If you need it 4g signal (EE) was good as is TV signal. Recycling on site including bins for BBQ ashes. Free range eggs for sale when available. Cameron very welcoming & not intrusive. If you like peace & quiet this CL is ideal. Seeing how busy the site was I would say advance booking is essential. Website was informative but for those that don’t have it perhaps an information area would be beneficial. Thanks for an enjoyable stay. Next time we are in Northumberland we will be checking in with you.

Exactly what a CL should be

Just back from a 3 night stay at Brandon Ford CL. This site has level hardstanding pitches, each with their own water, drainage and EHU, The site is very well maintained with cut grass and well managed bins/recycling and waste disposal. Access is easy as the road between the site and main road is still quite wide. The area itself is excellent for walking/Cycling and visiting the surrounding area. It is in my opinion what a CL should be in that it is quiet, rural, essential services, without adding unnecessary extras. I would recommend this site to anyone visiting the Northumberland/Alnwick area, and would like to return to explore some more.

Perfect

I can’t think of a bad thing to say about this site. Each pitch was hardstanding and fully serviced. The views were amazing, and the site’s presentation was immaculate. We had a long bike ride into Wooler but there are more local rides as well as beautiful walks nearby. As I say, perfect.
