Liked: In a quiet area with lovely views, right near Alnwick town centre. The site owner was a down very friendly and accommodating. He took time out of his morning to check in on everyone and ask how their night was. The skies at night were stunning and the eggs were a nice treat for breakfast.
Disliked: Not really something I disliked but if you pitch up at the bottom of the site, it’s a bit of a walk to the toilet.

Liked: Lance the owner came down within minutes to ensure all was well with our pitch and to find out if we needed anything. Very affable friendly chap. Ideal campsite for us, no hoards of tents or van’s forever in rows no screaming kids (or adults) just a peaceful place to pitch up and Alnwick is five minutes away by car Five stars

Liked: Back to basics, large field, and you could pick where you wanted to pitch. Lovely views across the fields. Portaloos were spotless - which was nice! We prefer simple and quiet campsites. An added benefit of being close to Alnwick if you wanted to nip in for a meal or see the sights. Also, quick access to the local coastline. Perfect.

Liked: Everything! Hospitality was amazing. The owner was very friendly, welcoming and kind to my 2 year old Son. He was available to answer any questions and give information on his farm and the local area. The setting was ideal and the views were incredible. Could see Alnwick Castle from the pitch and the sky at night was uninterrupted by any light pollution. Plenty to do on the farm and my Son loved all of the animals and everything about our stay here. Portable toilets were clean and there was easy access to clean water. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here. Family friendly and peaceful stay.
Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: Just what I had expected. Lovely peaceful area so close to Alnwick castle and town where we had intended to visit . Lance the owner came down to visit and make sure all was okay, what a great guy very out going! Proper down to earth bloke. The portaloos on site was very clean too! We managed to see the bulls and horses in the field opposite too! Will definitely be going back, next time for longer! If you want peaceful camping with just the basic field and toilets and fresh running water this is the place to go! We took plenty of games for the children, and they absolutely loved it was so much space between other tents and families for the kids to just be free!
