A Pleasant surprise

Found this site through late availability as we live in nearby Newcastle and heading into Scotland so decided to start our holiday sooner. The wardens were very helpful and friendly and the site was so peaceful. We walked to the local petrol station and Londis store which stocked all sorts.. There are numerous walks from the site and the toilet block was spotless. Would certainly visit again

Transport Needed

This site is very pleasant but it's situated 10 miles or more from the places we visit the north east to see, so if, like us, you are Motorhomers who don't want to pack away every day to go sightseeing you'll need alternative transport, otherwise it'll be a walk to the end of the lane, followed by some longish bus rides. Apart from that, the site is very nice. Facilities are clean and there are alternative unisex toilets when the main ones are being cleaned. The staff seemed nice, although we only spoke to them on check-in.. I've marked the facilities down by a star because we got back from a very wet walk to find our awning 2 inches deep in water because the pitch was dished.

Attractive site but not a great welcome

The site itself is very attractive, but the reception we got from the warden was less than friendly. She mistakenly thought I was pushing in rather than waiting my turn. I think the sign about where to park may have been obscured by the vehicle in front, and there was no-one else waiting at reception, so I ventured in. I subsequently realised that the person before me had proceeded on foot to find a pitch. Anyway, I did apologise but this was not accepted. I presented a voucher at the earliest opportunity. This resulted in a 'tut' from the warden. She proceeded to tell me the rules. No 'hope you enjoy your stay.' Currently there is no information at the site about an excellent restaurant - The Bosk - which is a short walk away. Dog owners should be aware that the long walk recommended from the site contains a stile - this is not mentioned in the directions. The location is gorgeous, and the shower block is spotless.

We will be back

We recently took advantage of the late availability online booking system when our plans in Scotland changed suddenly. River Beamish had availability and so we booked a one night stopover there on the way home to Lincolnshire. The welcome we received on arrival was lovely and the site is beautifully peaceful and tucked away. The new shower block is spotless and modern and the whole site is immaculate. We will definitely return with our bicycles to investigate this fascinating area.

Lovely peaceful location in the Northumberland countryside.

Site is in a lovely peaceful location within Northumberland. Forty-Five minutes from the coast and twenty minutes from Alnwick and Cragside, Rothbury. Chillingham Castle is a lovely place to visit with a good chance of meeting Lord Wakefield the owner. Site has good facilities and staff were friendly and helpful. A good Londis shop close by at the garage in Powburn but no local pub.

Excellent location

Great site, great location for visiting many places in Northumberland. Great land of castles and sandy beaches. The only issue was supermarkets are plentiful in Alnwick, but that is quite a journey although we didn’t find it an issue if we planned our meals ahead. Close by there is huge potential for walks and cycle rides. Will be returning, probably in May or June to see the puffins on the Farne Islands. (Most had gone when we visited at the start of August). Cragside is amazing!

Clean site but…

The facilities are faultless: clean toilets and showers and well maintained pitches. However I didn’t feel particularly welcome when I arrived as the warden was quite short when I enquired if there were two pitches next door to each other (travelling with my dustier and her family). I was playing football with my nephew and a fellow camper warned me that if the wardens caught us we’d be told off. The wardens didn’t appear to enjoy being there which made me feel like I couldn’t relax - not what you want on holiday! There is also an amazing restaurant nearby which wasn’t in any of the literature or in the information hut, which is a real shame because it is excellent (it’s called The Bosk and is in Branton which is a 15 minute walk away.)

A gem of a site.

Stayed for 3 nights in Aug 2021, after most of the Covid restrictions had been lifted and the site felt very much like it had been pre-pandemic. Lovely wardens, spotless facilities, and a really well kept site with nice, well spaced out pitches. Great location for walking straight from the site or for visiting Alnwick or Rothbury.

Great base for exploring

A well located site, quietly hidden away, but within easy distance from a plethora of regional attractions, beautiful countryside and dramatic coastline. There is good access to a river walk. The facilities are some of the best we have encountered; modern, spacious and clean and within easy reach of all pitches. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A great, short stay.
