Don’t tell everyone

This is one of those CLs that ticks so many boxes you are almost reluctant to tell people about it. The site is well maintained with level fully serviced hardstanding pitches. The scenery is beautiful and the farm livestock of sheep and lambs, cows and calves plus hares geese and pheasants add interest when relaxing in the total peace and quiet. There’s a nature reserve next to the site and walks galore. It’s in a good location for site seeing we’d recommend Cragside and Wallington both National Trust; Alnwick Bamburgh Chillingham and Warkworth Castles, Lindisfarne Island with causeway Priory and Castle and the Ford and Etal Estate to name just a few. We’ve just had our second stay at this good value site and would happily go back again. Cameron gives you a warm welcome and you can even order all sorts of baked foods from Jess.

A little gem

Just spent a week at this beautiful site pitches are excellent with water and waste at each pitch. The site is well maintained. There are lovely walks from the site, I spent a lot of time walking the dogs around the nature reserve which is just over the foot bridge. I also enjoyed watching the sheep cows and calves and hare in the fields. I bought some biscuits and jam from the honesty box both were delicious. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

A perfect sute

This is our second visit to this lovely, well run CL. It most certainly won’t be our last. We came with 2 caravans, my sister, brother in law and their dogs in one and me in the other. The pitches are great, flat hard standings which are not too close together. As mentioned before, each pitch is fully serviced which is fantastic. No more worrying that your water butt is going to run out of water mid shower! We saw lots of wild life including hares, deer and lots of different birds The dark skies are peppered with millions of stars you just don’t see if you come from an area where there is a lot of light pollution. The owner and his wife are extremely pleasant and friendly. We’ve yet to sample Jess’ bakes but that is most definitely something to look forward to on our next visit.

A little gem

What a lovely pretty site.Immaculately kept.Hook up .tap. and waste water on pitch.Cameron came to say hello after we were set up.You can order cake and pastries to your door with notice.Sighted next to the river with lots of wildlife to see.A Quick walk over the bridge takes you to a Nature Reserve with bird hide.plenty of walking and cycling from the site. Around 20min drive to Alnwick Castle and othe attractions not too far away. We were there during lambing season and were lucky to see two lambs being born.And lot's of Hares running around. Looking forward to coming back when it's a bit warmer and looking forward to sampling Jesse's Cakes.

Great CL

Really nice Cl with serviced flat hard standing. Very easy access, no dramas. Great dog walking area is available across the footbridge and into the nature reserve. Good location for hiking and the Northumbrian beaches.

Great stay.

Great CL. Friendly and very helpful family run site. Location is ideal for walks and cycling. Being there in spring is something special on the farm with all the lambing and calving going on. Ideally located to get to the Northumberland sites of interest. Can’t wait to return. ( not forgetting Jess’s home made specialty food deliveries 👍)

One of our favourite sites

There's nothing really to add to what everyone else has said - this place is a gem Its a well kept site in an great location. There are some lovely walks directly from the site and its a good starting point to explore further a field. There is a shop at the petrol station at Powburn 1 Mile away, the Bosk is .5 a mile away by foot and serves food Thursday to Sunday, and Ingram cafe is open every day until 4 and is avout 2 miles away. Would definitely recommend this site.

A simply excellent CL, period!

Just spent the last 3 nights here and, (in my humble), the site is superb. The site is easy to find and very well situated for many local attractions, from Newcastle to Berwick-upon-Tweed and all the North East Coast in-between, including Lindisfarne. The Northumberland national parks are all around and if you like astronomy, then the park has an excellent 360 deg vista with fabulously dark skies. OK, now for the site itself. Every pitch is flat and the hard standings are fully serviced, so no need to go out in your slippers in the rain to re fill your water barrel. The site is exceptionally clean, very well maintained and manicured and the gentleman my wife spoke to was very personable and was pleased to help with local knowledge. As has been mentioned, the site is split into West and East fields, holding 5 vans each. At the gate leading from West to East, I noticed that the site also had a trust cabinet which was stocked with a few cookies jam's and grenola, with pricing and a jar for your money, (a simple but nice touch). If you do have dogs, the site is on a working sheep farm and for obvious reasons it is important to keep them on leads. However as previously stated, there are ample walks right out the gate. If your dog/s love water, as does ours, then the ford across the river is 2 minutes walk, excellent for letting them have a plodge. There is a large lake approx 10 mins walk, with a footpath right round, its part of a nature reserve, excellent if your a keen photographer. Would I recommend the place, i'm reluctant to say, because i want to be able to get booked for the next time, lol. But absolutely! Yeah I would....... Kind regards, Kevin and Ann

What a little gem

What an awesome little gem of a place this is. Stayed just one night but we wished it had been longer. The site has a west side and an east side. We were on the west side and had lovely views of the hills and surrounding areas. By the way, do venture out of the site as right on its doorstep is the most amazing nature reserve surrounding a lake which you can walk right around. The site is situated right near the river Breamish and to get to the nature reserve just cross over the little footbridge right outside the site. Honesty box is full of homemade delights from the owners, easy access to and from the site and oh, and did I mention the dark skies? get out in the dark and LOOK UP!.. When we visited, Lady Aurora was dancing in the night sky which was a bonus to our stay. In the morning as we were about to leave, we discovered that our Motorhome would not start, Callum the site owner came to the rescue sorting us out with a jump a start that got us back on the road, so friendly and helpful and which was greatly appreciated. We will return and most definitely will recommend the site to others.

Best CL we have stayed at

We booked to stay here for 5 nights, having stayed previously at the River Breamish Club Site and loved the area. This is a very tidy well run CL. With all fully serviced hardstanding pitches. There are many great walks of all abilities directly from the site, with the Brandon Ponds nature reserve right next door. There is a good shop at the petrol Station at Powburn 1 Mile away. Can't fault the site. We would certainly return.
