First time to Northumberland
I booked this site as a solo Campervanner with dogs, as being well placed to visit some of the highlights of Northumberland, including walking opportunities for the dogs. My stay was for 5 nights (originally 6 until Storm Agnes got in the way). Have to say I wasn’t disappointed at all with my choice, apart from needing longer to see what Northumberland has to offer. Arrival was easy, relaxed and very friendly and welcoming from Jo. Unfortunately, the following day her and hubby were on holiday. However, unlike a previous reviewer, I have nothing but praise for Kath (spelt with a K) and Rob - friendly, chatty, great advice on many aspects of exploring the area. Well done both, keep on doing what you are doing.
The site is layed out with small areas of pitches around a circular road around the site. I felt it actually gave a friendly atmosphere. So much to see and explore - Bamburgh (stunning), Seahouses (a vibrant small seaside village), Cragside (outstanding) and so on.
Back on the main road you will find a Petrol Station (reasonable priced fuel) plus an included Londis small supermarket which has a remarkable amount of stock considering where it is located.
On Kaths recommendation I took advantage of the visiting fish & chip van on Monday evening. Absolutely outstanding fish & chips. Being on my own now what I hate is the humongous pieces of battered fish some places serve up - it’s wasteful. However, this fish & chip Van served up a perfect size along with the right amount of chips. 10 out of 10. You won’t be disappointed.
Northumberland is a stunning county in many respects and I look forward to another visit next year to continue my exploring of the county.
