Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Beautiful scenery. Laid back atmosphere and dog friendly. Owners very friendly and welcoming
Disliked: Portaloo was disgusting at times even though the owner cleaned it regularly. Not enough facilities for the amount of people there.

From the manager: Very sad to see you wouldn’t return. The additional toilet is back now after a mixup with the hire company. I did explain this at the time, however I didn’t think it would be an issue with you having your own toilet in your caravan. Thanks for staying.
Excellent campsite location. Clean facilities. Helpful staff.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Lovely rural scenery made it a joy to wake up in the morning and sit in the sun looking out at the views. Excellent location, being a short drive into Alnwick was very convenient for buying food and drink. Only a half hour drive to the coast allowed us plenty of time to relax and enjoy our stay on the beach and in the campsite. The information provided prior to arrival was clear and helpful. Access to drinking water was a massive positive. Everything felt tidy and well looked after.
Disliked: Perhaps a second portaloo facility but no complaints otherwise.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Had a good choice if pitch and it was easy to get hooked up with a short cable. Got to be happy with the various wildlife sounds overnight. Bins, chemical waste disposal and porta loo provided, all fine for us.
Disliked: Public transport is non existant so if you want to travel away from this site to Alnwick, for example, then you would need to drive or risk a dangerous 5 mile walk.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: We stayed here one night, then decided to stay the night after too. Nice campsite on a working farm with lots of space and basically pitch where you like in the non electric field. Only portaloos there, but that's all you need really. No reception or anything, just leave your money in a box with your details, but there's a number to ring as well. A nice little campsite, would definitely return.
