What customers say
This site is praised for its stunning location and fantastic views, offering good value for money. Visitors highlight the friendly welcome and helpful staff, with many appreciating the clean and well-maintained toilet and shower facilities. While most pitches are described as level and spacious, a few noted unevenness. Suggestions for improvement include adding more hooks in showers and potentially stocking basic essentials. Access road is noted as narrow by one guest.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Felt welcoming. Check in very straightforward, John is superb.
WiFi available , quiet site with a small play park.
Disliked Just managed to get my A/C power cable to reach the power post, had to join two together. Not a downside but worth considering if you only have a 15m cable.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely views, peaceful, with sheep in the fields. Pitch was good that we had bit some were on a slope, was a bonus to be right at the front with the views right in front of you. Site manager very attentive whilst showing you to your pitch. Nicely placed for visiting Roman Ruins, Hadrians Wall and the area. Enough facilities on the site too.
Disliked Shower curtain situation. The second time I went in it was a flood and I had to mop all the water up before I could use it. Maybe there is a better solution?
