Great little over night stay

Lovely little working farm site. A little muddy due to wet weather conditions. Farm road could do with pot holes being filled in but still early in the season for repairs. Had a very peaceful overnight stay. Booked last minute as we were travelling. Toilet and shower looked lovely. Easy access to bins, water and toilet waste. Our kind of site. We will definitely be back.

Excellent campervan 2 night stay

We booked just a week before as a late decision getaway. We received a quick response to the booking request, clear directions and information provided about the site. Like a few others, we'd looked at other reviews but knowing the area reasonably well we were confident that it would be fine, and it was! The train noise is not particularly intrusive, and wasn't an issue overnight, didn't really notice anything after about 10pm. Yes, the track is bumpy, but stick to the speed limit and it's fine. To be honest, if you can't cope with a bit of a bumpy track then stick to large sites, not CLs. And yes, there's some mud. It's no worse than many sites we've used, and it is a working farm. For me, that's the beauty of CLs, not a huge park of caravans and motorhomes, a bit of rural reality! The facilities were excellent; water, grey waste (not driveover) chemical disposal and refuse all good. The showers / toilets were spotless, very roomy, nice touches such as diffusers, heaters, lots of hanging space, hand dryers. We have a 6m campervan and the space was perfectly adequate, good level hardstanding. We didn't meet the owners, but I don't particularly expect to on a CL. We'd been given the owners' numbers and information about the onsite caretakers so no concerns about contacting someone if we'd needed to. Location wise, excellent. There's the Barn at Beal about a mile away, so easily walkable, or the Lindisfarne Inn a little further. We didn't have our bikes, but with a bike Holy Isle is easily manageable to save having to take the van, or there's the Pilgrim's Way. Will be highly likely to use the site again and have recommended to friends.

Fantastic site

Due to the last 2 reviews we were dubious about this site as it was our first visit. We needn’t have worried as it’s a little gem. The long lane to the site is a bit bumpy but if you go at the suggested speed there is no problems. We were allocated our pitch before arrival and they are clearly marked, so set up as soon as we got there. Later in the evening the site manager came round to check everything was ok for us. The toilet and shower facilities are very modern and cleaned every day. There is a great field to walk dogs just to the right of the cl. Yes there was some movement of farm machinery but we knew we were staying on a working farm. The owners who don’t live on site came to introduce themselves during the week when they were doing some maintenance work. A fantastic little site that is beautifully maintained and will be one to come back to.

A working farm with a CL as an after thought

The positives for this site-the toilet block. However, to reach this we had to wade across a muddy farm track which whilst we were there was in regular use by farm vehicles. This meant we were treading mud into our accommodation. The pitches were much too small and were jutting into the track,and any van or motorhome over 6 metres had to reverse right into the hedge allowing no room front or back.It was also noted that a sixth pitch (CLs are licensed for 5) was in constant use during our stay.

Busy site

In over 25 years of caravanning, mostly using CL’s including working farms, I have never written a review until now. The wet room design of the toilet and shower rooms are spacious and modern but one oversight is the lack of a mop, not a huge problem until it rains! The gravel track that runs through the CL is full of large potholes that flood after rain. Unbelievably this track is the main thoroughfare for ALL traffic going to the holiday cottages, worker’s cottage, farm fields and barn. It didn’t take long for the tractors, cars and HGV lorries to turn this track into a quagmire. Caravaners wanting to access bins, toilets and showers have to pick their way across the mud resulting in a mess in the wet room. Pitch 1 is particularly narrow. We pitched the caravan so that it was within the conifer hedge at the back but even so, the tow hitch was close the the edge of the track. HGV’s arrived to load grain from the barn next to the CL and as they negotiated the bend they were within inches of our caravan. Not only was this an unnerving experience it resulted in mud being splashed over the van and awning. Trying to keep the caravan carpets clean was hard work as we have a dog. Northumberland never fails to impress but this CL certainly did.

Jiffy the motorhome

Brilliant location for all of the Northumbrian coastal villages. Holy Island is close enough to walk over when the tide is out. Even though we are locals we went to places that we hadn't been before. Site is beautifully maintained, toilets are kept very clean. Shop is just up the road. Definitely will return.

Cracking little CL

We have just returned from a 4 night stay here and cannot find any fault with it at all! Booking was easy with great communication from the owners, we found the site easily using the postcode and went straight to our allocated pitch. All pitches are hardstanding with electric hook up and a water tap central to all of them. There are two beautiful wet rooms each with toilet, shower and wash basin and a heater if needed, showers are £1 for 10 minutes but so worth it and the whole area is kept spotlessly clean. There is a long driveway to the site and the site itself is very peaceful, yes there is a train line close by but this didn’t bother us and we didn’t find it noisy at all. Ideally located for Holy Island (we were sent crossing times with our booking email), Bamburgh, Seahouses and we ventured in to Scotland too. There is a nice pub about a mile away that does fantastic food plus a petrol garage with a Londis convenience store. We really enjoyed our stay here even though the weather wasn’t very kind to us! We would definitely return!

Restful and relaxing

Stayed here for 11nights in July 2023. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on this very relaxing site. Great access to the A1 with a lovely pub serving great food close by and the garage and shop was also very useful. The facilities were excellent and kept clean and stocked during our stay. The booking payment and pitch allocation system worked wonderfully for us. We found so much to do in the area and would not hesitate to return when next in the vicinity whether staying for a holiday or just a short stop on a longer journey. Thanks for a great holiday experience.

Excellent site let down by approach road.

This is a very peaceful site, just off the A1 and extremely handy for visiting holy Island. The pitches are level and well serviced and there is not a great distance to the electric hook up. There is the shower block on site but we did not use this as use our own facilities. The booking process was simple and all done via email, which actually meant for the duration of our stay. We didn’t see anybody at all. The only thing that really lets this site down is the horrendous approach road which is absolutely full of pot holes and although it is perhaps only half a mile, it took us over 10 minutes to negotiate. This really should have some attention, especially as the price is £25 per night. Otherwise, this is an excellent site in a really handy location.
