Anonymous Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked We had lovely welcome from the reception girls on arrival. A really big pitch with water and electric. Very flat so no need for ramps. Clean, tidy and half grassed at the side for the BBQ and chairs etc to go out. We were pretty close to the pot wash and shower/ toilet block which was quite adequate, very clean and tidy but slightly tired in decor. The site's not massive on the touring side so your right near anything you want and just a short walk down the path to the canny owl pub which is really nice, dog and child friendly , it has an outside playground for the kids so the adults can have a drink and keep an eye on the kids from the bar or beer garden, We didn't eat but the food looked very nice.
Disliked Nothing to dislike about this campsite . It's in a fabulous location for walking into Wooler 10 minutes up a slight hill . Honestly couldn't fault it.

Excellent site and position, shame about the toilets and showers.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The pitch we had was perfect. We had plenty of space for the van and awning.
The site was quiet and in a perfect situation for sightseeing.
The staff were friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.
The Canny Owl pub was lovely and we had 2 very nice meals there.
Disliked The toilet blocks need refurbishing. The showers were cold, and you had to press the push button constantly as they were set for about 20 seconds.
The toilet seats on all 3 toilets were loose and wobbly.
I passed some toilet roll to the lady in the next toilet in the afternoon. By the following morning. I was asking someone for the same, as 2 out of the 3 toilets had no toilet roll. The toilets did not look as if they had been cleaned.
If the toilets blocks had been better, I would have score this site a 10.

From the manager: Thank you for your detailed review. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the pitch, the quiet location, friendly and helpful staff, and your meals at The Canny Owl. We’re very sorry that the condition of the toilet blocks let down your stay — your feedback regarding cleanliness, maintenance, hot water and supplies has been noted and shared with the team, as this is not the standard we aim to provide. We appreciate your honest comments, as they help us improve.
Best wishes, Team Verdant
