Great wee CL
Whittlees
Stayed here for 3 nights in July 2022. Very easy access to an immaculately kept site. Although not the hugest of CLs the units are well spaced out. The information hut is a brilliant with information on the myriad of attractions in easy reach from the site. The site is quite sloping in places so bring some wood for the steadies. Would recommend this site and would happily make a return visit.
Beautifully situated CL
Whittlees
This CL is in the heart of farmland and is great. Pitches do slope a little but nothing that cannot be easily sorted with normal ramps and chocks. Well placed for visiting Hadrians Wall and well supplied with walks. Kielder Water is only a short drive away and well worth the trip. The owner, who lives next to the field, called frequently to empty the bins, top up the eggs and generally check all was OK. The elsan point and water tap area are all clean and tidy as was the bin and recycling area. A lovely site well worth a visit.
Quiet, peaceful and enjoyable CL
Whittlees
At the risk of repeating myself, my review title summarises this site - Quiet, peaceful and enjoyable CL, The site does have some sloping pitches, but they are not difficult IMHO or excessive like some reviews imply, and the other important aspect is that it is relatively spacious. I also like the fact that the owner is not an obsessive grass mower like some site owners. Friendly down to earth gent too. Easy payment arrangements and thoughtful practical touches at the water supply and the toilet emptying point make CL life easy. The views aren't great unless you enjoy tractors and farm kit on one horizon ( I do), but it is wonderfully placed for walking the central area of Hadrian's wall and all around it. Loved the CLand I will return again.

Well worth a visit
Whittlees
We have stayed here twice in the last two weeks and found it to be ideal for us. The grandchildren have had space to play without being too near to other users. The first visit they made friends with others in vans and the second time played with 2 lovely local children.
It is a sloping site but chocks are made available and siting is not as difficult as implied by others.
It is clean and well cared for and there is space to allow privacy. All facilities are kept in great order.
Lots to do near by.
Altogether we have loved the time here and it will be on our list of places to go not too far from home.
Lovely and peaceful
Whittlees
Lovely and peaceful site which is well kept with plenty of space between pitches. Some of the pitches are a bit slopping and wood chocks are essential this is one I would revisit.
