Quiet location and well kept
Easy access to site a little way down a lane just off the main A road , had a nice welcome from the relief warden that was on duty , who seemed to have a passion about the 5mph speed limit ! (kept mentioning it).
Layout of pitches are a little bit like , little circular cul de sacs but that was fine for us. We did have to move pitch after a day as our pitch was in the shade all the time which actually made it very dark and the ground never dried , although it was about 25-28 degrees ! The pitch we moved to was in the sun all day , so pick your pitch carefully. Site kept very clean , and the facilities were very clean , and loved the fact that when they were cleaning them they opened two toilets by the entrance to the block that could be used , great idea.
The site has a really big dog walk, which is good on its own for a walk as it goes down to the River Breamish itself and it amazes me that the wardens cut the paths in the grass here as well. Also if you go out the entrance to the park and turn right , there is an entrance to a big wildlife lake and reserve.
It is located fairly inland , so any visits to Holy Island or Bamburgh really require a car which we had , and they are about 30-60 mins away depending on traffic etc , but that in itself is s a lovely drive .
Really peaceful site , with the peace only broken by geese flying above. Fish and chip van that comes around served lovely fish and chips which we had. Would definitely stay here again , not far form the Scottish border and close to enough by car to most other areas .
Our only concern was that there was no barrier on the site so anyone can come and go , one evening , there was a very suspect group of lads driving the wrong way round the one way system in an Audi , maybe nothing , but would prefer a barrier system
