Good but not excellent

First impressions were that it was a bit small but it turned out to be ok. We were in the far corner in which the grass remained soggy despite some lovely weather, I think because the site slopes that way and is in shade. Hard standing appears to made of ore rocks that could do with being crushed and compacted to give a better base. Excellent for dogs with a superb woodland walk right outside. This leads to many other interconnecting routes. It was amazing to see the owner taking his numerous dogs out for daily walks without any leads at all. There was a strong wi-fi signal visible but was secured so I think it may have been for the B&B which if it was it would be a boon if it was accessible to caravaners, even for a small additional charge. The peace was only slightly spoiled by the noise from the industrial estate across the small valley, a minor issue. The toilet disposal point is no worse that those at bigger sites as long as you get your outlet pipe in the hole you see less than you would normally! Suggestion for the owner is to install an actual toilet assembly with a flush in the location of the disposal point like I had seen on another site. The beach to the south of Alnmouth is the best we have encountered, even better that Cornwall. Superb. Head south out of Alnmouth and on the left you see some sand dunes. After about a mile look for a small wooden public bridleway sign on the left, directing you down a very unmade track to Buston Links which had my 4X4 bouncing around; at the end is free parking and even on the Bank Holiday Monday when we first went it had hardly any cars there, and even less after the BH. Not the owners fault but some people need to be a bit more tolerant of socialising as we don't all go to bed at 10pm when on holiday. You also meet some very nice people in such closer knit sites, see you soon Vicky and Phil. Overall we would certainly recommend this site.
