This site is everything that you would expect from a quality CL: - spacious level pitches, individual water points, good rubbish/waste facilities etc. However this site is situated a little less than a mile from the village of Embleton. Being motorhome owners, we generally pitch-up and walk. Now the road into the village is (for the first few hundred yards at least) relatively narrow with no footpath and no lighting. Walking into Embleton was just about okay but the walk back in the dark was scary, despite us having a torch with us. Every time a car passed we needed to jump into verges that were covered in nettles and/or brambles. Whilst we clearly survived our hazardous treks we felt that we were fortunate in that we had neither children on dogs with us. Maybe there is a safer walk through the fields into the village. We couldn't see any obvious path, but we might have missed something? We'll be back no matter what though.
A Perfect Location.
Firstly I need to say that this CL is not 200 meters away from the coast as stated but a 5 minutes drive! I think the owners meant to state that it's 200 meters away from Embleton village rather than Embleton Bay. But that's the only negative (if you can call it that) within my review. We found this CL perfectly located to explore the glorious Northumberland coast. Bamburgh to the North and Warkworth to the South are all within a 30 min drive. Most of the beaches can be reached within 15 minutes from this CL and we absolutely loved the area, our favourite being Beadnell. The site itself is as described with large hardstanding pitches with a grassed area, each pitch having it's own water supply along with the EHU bollard. There is ample spaces between pitches so plenty of room to spread out if needed. The waste facilities are clean and segregated from the main site, but the only recycling bin is for glass! This is probably a local council issue rather than the owners. Access to the site is easy and straight forward with plenty of room to bring your rig off the road before entering the site. The lane itself from which the CL is accessed is pretty quiet but there can be a slight bit of road noise in the mornings but to be honest it never bothered us but it's worth mentioning. So would I come again? absolutely! Do I recommend it to others? No, as I want to make sure I get booked again for next year!
Fabulous stay
After spending 5 months in isolation we were fortunate to stay 8 nights at this fabulous newly established CL. There is very easy access to the CL from the road. The pitches were very spacious with hard standing with also a grassed area. All pitches have their own electric hook up and water tap which is a bonus during Covid! The site is very peaceful and quiet with lovely views over the fields. You can take a leisurely walk over the fields to the coast or a short walk into the village of Embleton. We visited many places within easy reach...Alnwick Bamburgh Seahouses Craster to name a few. We saw some beautiful sunsets and were fortunate to have reasonable weather. Rachel and Alan were very helpful and informative whilst staying on the site. We will definitely be returning as soon as we can. Thanks for a great holiday.
