What customers say
This is a basic, wild camping-style site on a working farm, praised for its spacious, peaceful setting, beautiful views and abundant wildlife. It's conveniently located close to Alnwick and offers clean portaloos and a water tap. Visitors highlight the friendly and helpful owners, Lance and his wife, who regularly check on guests. While some mention the portaloos occasionally smelling and suggest more signage for arrival, the overall experience is positive, with many expressing a desire to return. The manager has confirmed adding more portaloos due to increased demand.
