General
- Pods with sea views and trout fishing, a short walk from the beach
- Within half an hour's drive of Alnwick Castle and Berwick-upon-Tweed
- Café, arts centre and shop selling Lindisfarne mead and local honey
Picture the scene: sea views, the salt breeze and a freshly caught trout sizzling on the barbecue… pick yourself a pod at Pot-a-Doodle Do Wigwam Village and all this can be yours with utter ease.
This little Northumberland nirvana has cosy and heated pods insulated against the most bracing of breezes, and is set a short stroll from Cocklawburn beach for days of seaside wanders and rockpooling. But you don't even have to leave the site to go a-fishing, as there's a two-acre lake on the Pot-a-Doodle Do grounds stuffed to the gills with rainbow trout. (The friendly site owners will hire you a rod if you haven't brought your own.)
And when you’ve landed your whopper? There’s no finer treatment for fresh trout than a quick sizzle on a barbecue or campfire, or indoors in the fully-equipped kitchen that comes with each pod. Guests are also welcome to hire a barbecue hut with a charcoal pit and indoor seating.
And if you don't land your whopper? Despair not, for the café dishes up breakfasts, lunches and snacks, and the on-site shop stocks groceries as well as specialities like Lindisfarne mead, local honey and apples from the orchard.
Elsewhere around the site, there’s plenty of room to run around; those with extra energy to expend can hurtle around the securely-fenced playground, and creative small sorts can squirrel themselves away at the interactive arts centre making pottery, figurines and glass.

Local attractions
A short walk away, Cocklawburn beach has to be an early port of call for walks, dips and rockpooling. If you’re up for a hike with views, it’s about an hour to Berwick-upon-Tweed (or 10 minutes by car) where there’s a pair of castles and a military museum, an old jail to get locked up in and a walking trail in the footsteps of famed northern painter LS Lowry.
If you’re up for moats and ramparts, the castles of Alnwick, Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh are around half an hour’s drive away, the first of the trio being particularly popular with fans of a certain H Potter…
Lindisfarne has a fine castle too: at certain times of day you can drive or walk across the causeway to the island; otherwise head to Seahouses (half an hour) and catch a boat to the ancient sanctuary, spotting seals and puffins enroute.
Have tea among the bees at Chain Bridge Honey Farm 15 minutes away: tours teach visitors about the industrious insects while the shop and café do a nice line in sweet treats. If mammals and reptiles are more your thing, around 50 species await at Northumberland Country Zoo (45 minutes), from pattable Shetland ponies to somewhat stinky skunks.

Thanks for your kind review and it was lovely to meet you. You certainly had a mixed bag of weather for the time you were here.
We are ghlad that you enjoyed our beautiful coastline. We are so lucky to live in such a lovely area.
We cannot judge if your children are adult sized or not so its very difficult for us to recommend whether to have a second wigwam or not. We were fully booked anyway so this would not be an option. We do hope to see you again in the future.
