On the plus side this is a good location for visiting local places of interest such as Cragside- a must see. The pitch was flat and hardstanding which is always good. However there are some negatives. The welcome was anything but warm. On arrival we were greeted by a huge sign saying "Keep off the grass" with another by the service point saying "No parking". I had to go looking for the owners to pay and received a very gruff greeting of "Is that your motorhome on the top? " When i confirmed that it was I was told "You're here for 2 nights then. That'll be £28". The worst part for me though was the chemical waste and grey waste point- yes they are one and the same. It's a flat concrete area with a hole in it where you can see the last bit of waste floating on top, with a very low single brick surround. You need to use the brush provided to sweep your waste into the hole while directing water from the hose to wash it away. Although as I said the remnants float to the top and sit there waiting for the next user. Great care is needed to avoid splashing chemical waste over your feet. A very unpleasant experience. We were very happy to move on to our next stop..
