Well it's not often I leave a review
But from the moment we arrived, and before talking to warden Richard- letting him know we would be late getting in, to the time we left we found peace tranquil settings fantasist dog walk best yet. Wonder walk around the lakes and weather was great
Shower and toilet blocks emaculate and showers larger than normal so you don't feel cramped
Plenty of hot water and no smell of mould anywhere
Definitely we will be back
Ideal for nature lovers and walkers
We arrived at the site and were warmly greeted by the wardens, despite it being a little later in the day. They were very welcoming and gave us lots of useful information about the area and the walks available.
The site itself is very tidy and the washrooms were clean and of very good standard. Lots of hot water! There is a nature sightings board which we tried to add to every day and some pots of herbs that were available to use. A really nice touch.
The site is situated by a river and there are notices about being careful by the bank (especially children) and the dog walk goes this way. It was good for a short stroll with the dogs. A minutes walk from the site is a nature reserve and this gives a longer walk around two lakes, also good for dogs - they do need to be on leads around one of the lakes. Lots of bird life and flowers about. Further afield there are great walks - we walked to Ingram, stopped in for lunch at the tea shop and walked back over the hill. This was about 6 miles (limited due to an old dog!) but could be extended to see the interesting archeology (hill forts etc).
We also drove to the coast and visited Bamburgh Castle and some other areas, so much to do! Our only mistake was driving through Alnwick and omitting to see the height signs until we got to the low arch and we had to do a three point turn in the middle of the High Street! Be warned!
A great site that we will definitely return to.
A Northumberland gem
Arrived for the start of the season to a friendly welcome. No surprise as this is possibly the friendliest site in the Club! Great facilities very well kept. Lots of small touches to make you feel valued such as free herbs for cooking. Walking direct from the site so you don't always need to use the car. This site is rapidly becoming our favourite!
Start of season break for us
Wonderful welcome, so helpful. Site was perfect for us, a great base for lots of walking with our dog. Facilities are fantastic and very clean. Will definitely be back again. Thank you.
An Automn break
Location was a little dour. The access down a minor road passes a council recycling site which was a little off putting.
The site roads are narrow and in need of upgrading.
However, the facilities block was excellant, clean, spacious , warm and a pleasing layout.
Handy for trips around the Northumberland areas sights.
Lovely week
Had a lovely weeks stay at this site. Wardens so friendly and helpful. Excellent facilities. Great walks direct from site.
Peace perfect!
What a beautiful site! To be able to sit in a bird hide so close to our pitch, was fantastic.... we were privileged to watch a pair of swans as they went about their business! It was also a bonus to be so close to other accessible nature walks. The toilet block was fabulous and the wardens very welcoming and helpful.We used this site to visit Alnwick Castle and Barter Books.

A very warm welcome
We had an amazing stay here last weekend. We arrived on Friday tea time to a very warm welcome from a very friendly warden, she showed us available pitches which was a great help in the dark. The friendlyness of both wardens continued through the whole weekend, a huge smile whenever we went into the shop and saw them around the site. The site and all facilities were kept immaculate. Very tidy and very clean. Wonderful walks right on the door step around a beautiful lake. Alnwick is just a ten minute drive away too. An amazing stay, we can't wait to return xxxx

Lovely Site
Peaceful quiet site. Stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of October during our tour around Northumberland in our motorhome. Lovely clean site and facilities. Good dog walks on the site and around the area. Visited Alnwick Castle during our stay. Unless you're just going to stay on site for all your stay you really need transport to get to various places/attractions and the coast
