Best by a nose

We have always tried to find the perfect cl for us and have over the years found some fantastic sites ,but having just came back from Link House Farm this wins as our favorite site and would have loved to stay longer. A lovely warm greeting on arrival and very helpful local information is always on hand. It is only a stones throw from the unspoiled dog friendly beaches and a great local pub a short walk along the quite lane into the village, Abundance wildlife surrounds the site and you get to see the race horses going on there daily gallop across the fields. Very dog friendly and very well kept site which is quite at night with some fantastic sunrise and sunsets. Will be coming back to visit this site whenever in the area for a one night stopover or would like to stay for the week. Thank you for the great holiday.

Perfect birdwatching location

A really lovely location with uninterupted views of the fields and sand dunes full of wild life! The fields are full of Curlew, Lapwing & Oystercatchers and along the coastline I spotted Sanderling, Redshank, Purple Sandpiper, Turnstone, Eider, Golden Eye and Widgeon. Also a large flock of what it think were Golden Plover resting at dusk but visibility a bit hard so not 100% sure. Fabulous sunsets and cloud formations too. Long sandy beaches in both directions. Plenty to see on the farm with the horses being ridden out and lots of chickens, ducks and guinnea fowl, Very peaceful location and friendly people. Looking forward to a return visit and would recommend early booking as it was fully booked in the Autumn. January has more than made up for it though especially if wildlife is your thing!

Friendliest CL with the most amazing location

We just spent two days at this site and was sad to leave as it was great. Its taken the threat of 60mph winds comming to drag us away and cant wait to go back. The site is 400metres from the most beautiful beach on the Northumberland east coast. Walking distance to Beadnell harbour and Newton by the sea. The site has everything you need for your stay and pitches are flat and well spaced out. The location is a working farm\racehorse stables and holiday cottage centre but the CL is well away from the cottages. The owners of the site are very welcoming and friendly which is typical of rural Northumberland. Newton village has a lovely Gastropub, The Joiners arms where we had the best freshly caught fish and chips we have had in a long time. I suggest booking up well in advance as this is an absolute gem which I am sure people keep to themselves, I even thought twice about putting a review up as I want to keep it secret.

Beautiful sunrise and sunset.

Review Linkhouse Farm CL We spent 6 days on this site and although the weather was unsettled we managed to see some beautiful sunrises and sunsets. A smallish CL set apart from the many holiday properties, with 5 fairly level hardstanding pitches and grassy areas between each one. Excellent TV reception and WiFi. Almost 360 degrees views of the surrounding countryside. ( But not of the beach.) However, a ten minute walk around the barns and across the dunes will take you to a large expanse of sandy beach. It is rather a guessing game as to which paths are the correct ones from the CL, so signage of these would be helpful. This is a working farm with a variety of animals and birds including cows, horses, peacocks, guinea fowl, ducks and chickens. I would suggest better signage on the fresh water and elsan area to prevent members using the fresh water tap to fill their toilet water containers! There are recycling bins for each cottage but no recycling on the CL. We were left without any bins ( which were rather full) for almost a day when the bins were taken for emptying and an empty one was not left in their place. Although the weather was not what we had hoped for we did have an enjoyable stay and the position of this CL gives the opportunity to see both the south and north coastlines.

We keep returning - what better recommendation !

The site is a bit difficult to find first time - you have go past all the holiday cottages and barns. A couple of reviews have commented of the difficulty of access to the only water tap for a motorhome. I have solved that problem at this and other sites by always carrying a number of hose pipes which do not take up too much storage space in the van and can be connected up to reach to the tap from any of the pitches. Some people have previously commented that the walk to the beach is longer than you would expect. There is now a shorter route - turn left out of the CL enclosure and follow a track around the back of the barns and then left again along another track which brings you to the edge of the dunes and round to the right to where the owners have installed a gate you can go through and scramble up a short bank into the dunes and on to the beach. The Joiners Arms in High Newton- 15 to 20 minutes walk - serves good food and has quite a few tables outside - worth a visit.

Quiet farm based CL

Lovely location, 10min walk to fantastic beach. Pitches all gravel and level. Adjacent to working farm so dogs should be on a lead and not roaming round the various pitches. Our main complaint is that the water and waste area is difficult to access by Motorhome, down a bit of a dirt track (some reversing required). Two large RVs decided to overcome this by letting their grey drain directly onto their pitches…….

Ideal For Beach Walks

Its all been said before, a very nice site just behind the dunes & beach. Lovely quiet location. No welcome on arrival & they never came round in the 10 days we stayed there. We had to make contact to find how to pay.

One of the best

We stayed here for a couple of nights July 2022. Super peaceful site. Wish we had booked a longer stay. Our pitch sloped slightly, so no need for messing about with levelling ramps !! A ten minutes walk gets you to one of the most tranquil beaches we have experienced. Walking towards Beadnell there's a nature reserve where we found Terns nesting on the beach. The site is within easy reach of Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh Castles.

Excellent CL. Peaceful and tranquil

Had 6 nights here in late June. Fabulous location well away from holiday cottages by Linkhouse farm. They looked very good though if travelling with non caravan/motorhomers. Great views across field with beautiful cattle in to the dunes behind Newton Steads/Beadnell Bay. Perfect for walks. Recommend circular walk to Beadnell, path behind dunes one way, beach the other with a pit stop at the Bait box in Beadnell car park for crabby fries etc. also round coast to Low Newton and along Embleton bay to Dunstanburgh Castle. Also recommend Hawick Hall gardens to visit. Easy walk up the lane to the pub in High Newton but we found it expensive and food only average. Site itself is all you want. Open for all the sun. All pitches are good and well spaced out and nice and flat with hard standing. Bin area and chemical disposal area very clean and tidy. Only 1 drinking water tap but this is a cl and very good value. Didn’t meet the owner but checking in and payment by bank transfer all very easy and he kindly left 6 free range eggs for us. Very yummy. Can only say this is one of the nicest cls we have stayed on. Wonderful tranquil location.

Location is great for beach access

Had a few nights here for a quick winter break whilst the sun was shining. Great location to access the beach and coastal path, a short walk from the farm. The beach is large and clean. The CL is accessed through the farm and past its outbuildings, the road was very muddy and you need to walk this way to get to the path too so it’s worth having suitable footwear if the weather has been wet. The pitches are well spaced out with 360 views so no pitch has a bad view for watching sunset or sunrise, there is no shade. Very quiet at night. Lots of ducks, hens, turkeys and peacocks wandering around so definitely keep your dog under control. All pitches are level and well drained as hard standing. Each pitch is well lit with a post light too. My only criticism is the single water tap for drinking water, it’s at the far corner of the site and if in a motorhome its tight to get around to it to fill up. A tap on each pitch would be brilliant. Definitely worth revisiting, great days out around the area, Holy Island, Bamburgh, Warkworth and Seahouses, spoilt for choice.
