Customer service is the name of the game at The High Hermitage Holiday Park, a peaceful place in the Northumberland countryside where staff are always on hand to deal with queries or concerns, and to keep the amenities up to high standards. The landscape includes ancient woodland and the site's own stream, Kitty's Burn, all in a wildlife haven a short walk from the village of Ovingham via a few friendly local pubs. Many guests use the park as a base for the Northumberland coast; other famed destinations like Hadrian's Wall and Alnwick Castle are within easy reach. The High Hermitage is less than a mile from Prudhoe railway station, where you can access trains to Newcastle, Carlisle, Hexham and Glasgow. Fishing is available on site; pick up a permit at reception.

What customers say

This is a friendly, well-located site with spacious, serviced pitches. The staff, particularly warden Gordon, are consistently praised for their helpfulness and welcoming nature. While the site is undergoing upgrades, some facilities are dated and limited, though generally kept clean. Construction work is occasionally noted. It's a peaceful base for exploring the area, with good transport links.

Liked Gordon the warden was so friendly and helpful, the site is well located to walk into the village

Disliked As previously mentioned in other reviews the toilet block is extremely old with limited facilities but immaculate. The site was quiet when we were there but could be an issue if the site is busy as only one shower
There is building work going on that could impact on your stay

Electric grass pitch

Liked Great site well located to get out and explore not only Northumberland’s coast but also Hadrians wall. Very quiet and rural location yet you can be in Newcastle in 15 mins. Gordon could not have been any more helpful during our stay. We did worry about the 1 shower 1 toilet reviews but actually was 1 each for male and female. That being said at no point did any of our group of 4 have to wait to use the facilities. Gordon kept the site immaculate at all times as well as the washing facilities. Onsite washing machine and drier really helped as well. Will definitely use this site again !

Local attractions

The nearby town of Prudhoe, about 11 miles from the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, has a Norman castle and a waterpark as well as access to the old Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, now the Tyne Valley Line and still running regularly between the two cities. If you're anywhere around this part of England, a must-see is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hadrian's Wall, the most visited destination in the north of England, running for about 73 miles across the north of England from Bowness-on-Solway to Wallsend, across the North Pennines, and along Northumberland National Park. The wall has several Roman sites along its length, including Housesteads Roman fort, the most complete Roman fort in Britain; eight forts and live excavations at the Roman Army Museum and Roman Vindolanda, and Segedunum Roman Fort, Baths and Museum. Paintball, quad biking, go karting, offroad 4x4 driving and a Go Ape! are all available locally. A shopping centre is 20 minutes away.
