Spent 3 nights as part of our Northumbria tour in July. Very easy to find as very close to the A1 and other main routes. Site is accessed via a steep, though short, drive (be aware if you have a long over-hang beyond your rear axle- we witnessed several caravans grounding as they started to make the climb up to reception). We generally do not comment upon the wardens as we feel this is not helpful; however in this instance it was refreshing to be greeted by a younger couple with enthusiasm, who were chatty and helpful throughout our stay. There are some biodiversity 'no mow' zones sensible placed around the site creating the natural habitat. This is the correct balance unlike Teeside Barnard Castle who seem to be leaving wide expanses of 'no mow' zones everywhere; this makes the site look untidy and unkempt. Site is terraced, therefore most pitches are afforded an ever changing view across the North Sea and the Estuary, or in the other direction, towards the town/railway viaduct. Yes, the site is bordered by the East Coast Main Line and we enjoyed seeing and hearing the trains go by, but can appreciate this may be an annoyance to others. They do cease overnight and the railway certainly did not disturb our stay or sleep. There is a bus stop at the site entrance which takes you into Berwick town (day rover was £3.00 per adult, no charge for the dog) or to Spittal in the opposite direction. Nearer to the site there are a couple of pubs, a small convenience shop in Spittal and a walk along the green at the seafront takes you to a chinese restaurant and other eateries. You can walk into town from the site - 30 minutes at an easy pace. A walk to the seafront is approx 5 minutes and further along at Spittal there are sandy beaches, where dogs are allowed, plus a cafe/ice cream outlet. Overall, we enjoyed out stay and hope to return.
