Liked: Nice well run touring site next to and within easy walking distant of the small town of Wooler set in the beautiful rural countryside of Northumberland
Disliked: Strange set up with clubhouse bar and grill, arcade and swimming pool etc situated off site and across a main road. Not a major distance or a massive issue to us, but a bit strange. Well maintained but small toilet block which could be a problem in busy peak times

Liked: We love it here and we’re returning! On this occasion, the weather has absolutely battered the place and everything was waterlogged, like many places. Don’t let this affect a return, we had a great time last summer.
Disliked: Touring facilities are still in need of an upgrade and/or a good clean. We disliked the weather and hope the sunshine comes soon!

Camping pod
Liked: The park and facilities were great. Had an issue with an unknown male but reported to reception and they put on extra security. Pub was great. Mini fridge also in the pod.
Disliked: The pod was advertised as could hold 6 adults but 1 dropped out and it was a good job. There is no way you can fit 6 adults in the pod. On their website they state the pod is for 2 adults and 2 children. This needs to be reviewed by pitch up.
