Liked: The simplicity and clean nature, just a fantastic site. No fuss, just arrive, enjoy and leave. To have a bar on site open at key time was brilliant and the food van, serving the best food in the area, ideal. Will return and mention to any heading to Northumberland Coastal adventures
Disliked: None!

Electric grass and gravel campervan pitch
Liked: Such a great site, clean, friendly with good sized pitches. The communal area and little seating area that has a heater and awning is amazing too. The bar is well stocked and everyone was so friendly. On the night we visited, there was a seafood truck that made amazing food! Such a bonus. Will be back again.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Very clean site. Toilets and shower blocks looked brand new. Really quiet. There wasn’t much around but you could walk to little coop & cafe in Longhoughton (20mins walk). And other direction there was a nice pub Fishing Boat Inn at Boulmer (30 mins walk). The site had a little bar (the gin tin) that opened in an evening (5-9pm I think). Not too far drive from Alnwick. Would definitely stay again.
Disliked: Toilets were outside and open. But this has its positives, as they don’t smell!!

Liked: Excellent spacious site with great facilities & pop up bar. Great location for walking cycling. Great pub in Boulmer, 2 cafes in Longhoughton. Lovely walk to Alnmouth. Didn't need WiFi. Electric hook up goes off at night but this wasn't an issue for our caravan or our stay.

Electric grass and gravel campervan pitch
Liked: Fantastic site in a great location for exploring the local area. The site was well set out, clean, and had good facilities. The onsite bar was a good addition, with plenty of variety, and with it being situated next to the playpark it was an ideal location for relaxing in the evening whilst the kids continued to play.
