This is an excellent site close to a truly historical town. The site views are stunning and you can walk into town in 20 minutes along the river paved path. The town has plenty to see with a vivid history. We walked along the town walls which had wonderful views out to sea and into the town overlooking the church and garrison. An easy walk then into town for coffee. The town has a number of restaurants and pubs to choose from and a taxi back was £5 nice if its cold!  The site is well gritted if required and the facilities are excellent and warm. The plots are large and the train noise is actually minimal. You can choose a plot away form the noise but watch then your wifi reception. We heard no trains after 10 30 am and before 630am and were at the back of the site closer to the line.  There is a walk along the seafront in Spittal which is really lovely and close to the site and some pubs nearer the site down the hill. The wardens were very helpful and we will be back again but we were told by locals it's very busy in summer as you might expect however out of season it's and excellent visit.
