What customers say
Guests praise the welcoming atmosphere, spacious pitches, and excellent on-site pub food. The location is considered great for exploring the Northumberland coast. While many found the facilities adequate, a significant number noted the toilet and shower blocks are dated and in need of refurbishment, with some specific issues reported regarding cleanliness and maintenance. Train noise is also a recurring theme, though many found it bearable or expected. A few reviews mention overcrowded conditions and less-than-ideal pitch allocations.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Stayed here for one night as we were in the area for the Dinky Dub Fest. We didn’t use the pub as we literally just parked our camper up to sleep in after the festival so cannot comment on the quality of food and pub services but it was busy inside and the food looked ok from what I saw people were having. Pitches were pretty good with electric hook up and water pipe (effectively making the ‘super pitches’. The lady that booked us in was very friendly and helpful.
Disliked The toilet / shower block was the only disappointment (in my own personal opinion - which is different to everyone I accept ). Very worn, dated and having a dirty appearance - I didn’t want to spend more time in there than was absolutely necessary.
All said and done, every pitch looked occupied so facilities are bound to look dirty at times and cannot comment on when they were cleaned as I wasn’t there long enough so it would be unfair to judge further. Plus, given the pub was busy along with the pitches says something about the place and its popularity

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Quit the place
Disliked No toilet papers, dirty closet, (brush full or sh*t) when you take a shower, the light turn off (timing too short)
The funiest part is high speed trains passing along the pitches. The weirdest place for a camping and the dirtiest camping I ever see. Just run away!

Anonymous Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Hand dryer was powerful in ladies toilet block
Location as handy for family.
Disliked Water taps in ladies block just dribble water, not enough to rinse a toothbrush in the week but come Saturday they worked!!!
Dishwashing is outside so if it rains you get wet while doing it.
No toilet paper in some of ladies toilets
No hand-wash in ladies toilets
No dog walk you have to walk along a main road
Facilities are very dated and not very clean.
