That’s strange as I recall being at the very top of the site sheltered from the train noise by a high granite(?) wall and can honestly say we were not disturbed at all. 🤔

Don’t forget the nearby supermarket in terms of local facilities or the town or the beach area. 👍🏻

We have stayed up against the granite wall twice. Can't say the trains bothered me either. Last time on site the Flying Scotsman came by. 

I don't recall being short of local facilities.

It is difficult to recognise the site as Berwick Seaview. We have visited several times and had pitches against the wall and not found it noisy. Most of the trains are electric and particularly going down hill (north) don't make much at all. Apart from the fact you can't request a specific pitch, those front line ones are length limited, so it will depend on what van you have wether you are allowed to use them.

As to local facilities they are in abundance. A beach, Asda and M&S within walking distance. Plus a very good fishmonger. The town of Berwick isn't a bad walk, depending on fitness, or there is a bus from the gate.

Everyone has their own preferences but personally Seaview is a favourite site which we visit several times a year. The top tier overlooking the football field has our preferred view and backs onto the stone wall which actually helps screen the sound from the railway. We haven't found it a problem and have never been woken up in the night, even with roof lights open in summer. Didn't think many trains ran in the night though, just the odd goods train. As for shaking, I can't say the earth has ever moved for me while staying there. . .

 Why was the office closed at 1000 hrs? could it be because the staff were cleaning the facilities block and working on site before the 1300 arrivals ?
