Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Lovely stay, great quiet site with warm showers and washing up facilities and super clean composting toilets. The owners were helpful and friendly. There are alpacas in the paddock by the site which the children loved. The site is by a beautiful church and a couple of minutes walk to Kirkharle Courtyard where there is the Running Fox Bakery for gorgeous Morwick ice-creams, afternoon tea etc. The shops are mostly arty/gifty but you can grab a loaf and some milk there and there is also a little play area for 3-9 year olds and a short loop walk round a lake within Lancelot 'Capability' Brown's garden design where we saw lots of tiny frogs. We visited Belsay Hall during our stay (English Heritage property with great jurassic gardens, a castle ruins, a hall, book shop, gift shop, two cafes. There are lots of amazing castles, pubs, gardens etc within a short drive.
Disliked: You can't park right by your tent - if I'd realised we'd have brought a festival wagon. It wasn't massively far and wheelbarrows were available so don't let this put you off! I'm sure this is because the field is quite bumpy but the tent pitches are nice and flat.

Jean shepherd's hut
Liked: Everything about the stay was perfect. A beautiful cosy hut furnished with everything that you need. Beautiful setting and a lovely stroll nearby taking in the local history. We wanted a 'get away from it all' break and this is exactly what we got. The hosts Paul and Gillian couldn't do enough for you and we have already enquired about booking two more stays.
Disliked: Nothing. There was a compost toilet which may not be everyone's ideal BUT it was spotlessly clean, no smells at all and a fabulous view !

Jean shepherd's hut
Liked: Absolutely wonderful stay in Jean the Shepherds Hut. Paul was a fantastic host, very helpful, friendly and approachable. The accommodation itself was beautiful and cosy with some lovely touches. Lovely coffee and some snacks provided, comfy bed, lots of logs for the fire. Beautiful views and even the wild weather added to the atmosphere. Even the composting toilet had character 😅 Communication before and during the stay was perfect. Would 100% return.
Disliked: It was extremely windy when we were there so it was a little tricky to sleep with the noise and rocking of the hut. It’s a fairly exposed area , and to be expected in winter! It wouldn’t put me off staying again but I’d definitely recommend bringing ear plugs just incase it is adverse weather.

From the manager: Thanks you for your fabulous review. The weather was slightly wild while you were here and of course very calm the following night! Hope to see you again in 2024 😊

Jean shepherd's hut
Liked: Such a beautiful hut, festively decorated too! Plenty of storage to keep our things so they didn't get in the way. The log fire kept us very warm, and Paul and Gillian brought more logs by in the morning to make sure we stayed warm too! We had everything we needed, including pots, pans, cutlery, and crockery, as well as washing up things. Paul and Gillian are absolutely lovely, nothing was too much trouble and they left us snacks and drinks to have too. They'd kindly warmed the hut up for us prior to our arrival which was incredibly kind of them. The facilities were clean and well maintained. Overall a very beautiful place to stay even when it's raining and muddy!

From the manager: Thanks for much for your lovely comments. It was a pleasure to have you both and we hope to see you again next year.
