Lovely site. Not as Peaceful as we Hoped.
The other site reviews sum up the site well. Usual impeccable CC facilities, a nice mix of grass and hardstandings maintained well. Access is easy but the surfaced public approach road is quite narrow unless you drive into the potholes on the unsurfaced verges.
Staff very helpful and pleasant and worked hard to keep the site attractive. Lots of attention to keeping visitors informed about local matters.
Not mentioned in previous reviews much if at all, The Tankerville Arms at Eglingham, about four miles from the site is a gem. The staff were friendly and the food and local ales were excellent. Of note is the fact that even in peak season it wasnt too crowded (very quiet mid week lunchtime) but booking is a good idea in the evening.
The site is surrounded by many special places within 25 miles.
There were many dogs on site, particularly too many small yappy animals that let loose whenever someone walked past their van. This impaired the peace and quiet on site and was disturbing as early as 6.15am. Children on site in peak season are an inevitability but they all seemed to make an effort to avoid disturbing visitors. Well done!
I give 5 stars because irresponsible dog owners should not result in a site being marked down.
