We stayed for 5 nights in early August and really enjoyed our stay at Brandon Ford. Nice hard standing with loads of space either side for car / awning and the site located in a lovely picturesque setting in the Breamish Valley. Having electric, water and drainage on each pitch is real bonus. Jess and Wilma pops round to your van sometime after you arrive with a friendly welcome and collects payment, this was really convenient for us as it was pouring with rain on the day we left so we didn’t get soaked doing the usual search for the owner to pay. Although the pitches are hard standing the grass field held a bit of surface water after a couple of days of prolonged heavy rain so motorhomes would need to be careful moving in and out of the site. The Route 68 national cycling trail passes directly past the site and along this The Ingram cafe is a must to visit. Only a couple of miles from the site it has lovely home made food and houses an interesting little visitor centre explaining the history of the area. Holy Island is only 45 mins drive well worth a visit and the icing on the cake for us was Cragside National Trust property at Rothbury , only 30 minutes away and easily a full day visit, 1000 acres of sculpted grounds and one of the most interesting NT properties we’ve been to. There’s so much to do in this area we could go on for ever but Brandon Ford is definitely the site to base yourself for your visit to Northumberland. Good mobile and TV signal.
