Rental tent

Liked: Brilliant. As first time campers this was the perfect site for me and my son. The pre-pitched tent was great, it came with cooking facilities, utensils a tablet and chairs. The site had great toilets, showers and they also ran a burger night. We hired a fire pit and starter kit. Staff were kind and friendly. Amazing views on a clear night.

Disliked: There’s not much to dislike but the fire pit hire was expensive. No wifi but good for 4/5G.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: The whole experience at Shepherd's Rest was fantastic. The facilities were good, and the large barn with an honesty shop was an added bonus. The owners were around to help whenever needed, and families with children could take advantage of spending time with the animals on the farm.

Disliked: Nothing!

Well done to the owners for creating a camping heaven!

Rental tent

Liked: Such great customer service and thoughtfulness from the owners. They genuinely put the needs of the campers first. They really thought of everything. Two lovely private showers on site + 3 lovely toilets. The showers were better than mine at home! Well maintained and stocked kitchen. The fully equipped tent was exactly that and had everything we needed and more: Table, chairs, camp beds, cooker, gas canisters, plates, crockers, pots, pans, coolbox, light. Even during the windy/rainy storm we felt well protected and snug. On site there's a lovely barn/community room with food to buy (honestly system), places to charge phones, information leaflets about things to do and about the local wildlife poster. Good Internet signal for phones. Three beautiful goats that loved being pampered and stroked (Lando was my favourite). Great to see the owners walking the goats each day around the vast fields. Recycling bins for rubbish. Lots of space between tents, so not overcrowded at all even in mid-August. Alison gave us great tips about what to do in the local area. It's a really peaceful and safe site, I did yoga behind the tent. So calming. Nice mix of fellow campers; families, couples, friends. All respectful of the rules which are clear, e.g. quiet time is 11pm-8am, although it was usually quiet all the time, other than the sounds of nature and occasionally children playing. We stayed for 7 nights as it's a great base to explore Northumberland, then we drove to Edinburgh for the Fringe. Tip for parking in Edinburgh - stay at a Park &Ride then get a bus/train into Edinburgh centre. To park there all day was only 50p, then an all day busticket is £5. We stayed at the Newcraig's..... park&ride then got the no. 30 bus to Edinburgh centre.

Disliked: Nothing, nada, zilch

Local attractions

Sitting in an area so rich in history, it’s no surprise that this site’s close to several stately structures. Alnwick Castle – that of Harry Potter fame – is a 45-minute drive and has coastal views to take in on the way, while visits to Ford & Etal Estate (25 minutes) get you two castles in one, along with bread baking experiences at the mill (in summer), cuppas in a traditional tea room and visits to horses in an equestrian centre. River paddling’s also popular here in warmer weather and on the way home you can stop off at the Grade I-listed Royal Border Bridge (15 minutes) over the Tweed as dusk falls to see the arches lit up in lots of colours. The Georgian town square and hall of Kelso are a 40-minute drive, along with the abbey and racecourse. And for art, architecture and everything in between? Shepherd’s Rest is an hour and 20 minutes from the cultural hubs of Newcastle and Edinburgh.
