Handy location but........

We have to agree with the previous two comments (Small230 and P3T74) about this site. It is easy to find off the A1 and is very handy for Holy Island, Berwick and Bamburgh. No dragging your van down narrow lanes. However the farm driveway is long ( half a mile on my trip meter), very dusty and full of pot holes. Best negotiated at a walking pace if you value your van. The pitch sizes are adequate apart from pitch 2. If you put an awning up you end up carefully squeezing your car between your van and the awning on pitch 3. Having viewed the site on Google Earth we were aware that there would not be any stunning views, just the farm building opposite so there was no disappointment on that score. We never saw any of the owners during our stay but they were very pleasant to deal with on the phone when booking. There was building work going on whilst we were there and I feel that perhaps we should have been made aware of this when booking. The pitches are alongside the track which is a thoroughfare running through the site, and like the access track, it is very dusty. Vehicles passing through the site churned up dust and we were down wind so got covered in it. We have stayed on CL's much better than this one for less money, but the pitch fee seems to be around the going rate for this area at present. Clearly the area is enjoying a tourist bonanza and electricity prices being what they are also means a higher price. The East Coast main line runs fairly close to the site and trains are frequent. They didn't bother us as we live close to the West Coast main line so are used to it. It may be a problem to some. You pay your money and you take your choice.
