It was our first visit to Old Hartley, check in was easy and friendly, we had a good choice of pitches, all with great views of the sea. We went up to Blyth to see the Tall Ships and meet local friends. The view of the ships sailaway was spectacular, with the wardens giving the ok for our friends to join us for a BBQ that day. With showers fabulously clean, refuse collection very frequent and the site quiet yet friendly, it all added up to a great stay. We will certainly be back next year as there is alot of beautiful Northumberland to enjoy and this site provides a great base to start from.
