Positiv Views and gorgeous grassy field. Loads of space very quiet

Negativ Drinking Water tap would be useful

Positiv The remoteness of the site, basic but enough

Negativ Couldn’t find a water tap. Maybe because we didn’t search enough but we had our own anyway

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for the review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We do have two water taps on site - one beside the toilets and one at the far end of the field. They are shown on the map in our welcome pack. Please do not hesitate to call us if you are stuck - we are always happy to help. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Positiv It was peaceful and i loved that you can leave and arrive at any time. i felt safe being there at night.

Negativ There could be more toilets spread across the field rather than in 1 place.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your feedback, we can certainly look at putting toilets in various locations around the field, if this would suit our guests better. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back again soon.

Positiv Very basic, friendly, clean toilet, drinking water supplied as promised. I was the only camper. Which wasn't surprising and was OK by me.

Positiv Large, basic site in a peaceful location. Clean facilities (2 portaloos and a shower) Free to pitch where you like.
Close to A69,
Great for visiting Hexham, Corbridge, Hadrians wall/forts and Newcastle (train station close by) and lots of great walks/ cycle routs around the area.
The exercise field for the dog is a great bonus!
Camp fires allowed.
Well maintained field.
Would highly recommend for people who like a back to basic, simple way of camping.

Positiv Easy to find, a nice big field with lots of space to pitch.

Negativ No drinking water available. Although this is listed in the description I hadn't noticed it. I'd assumed we'd be able to get water to drink and cook with but there isn't any.

No shower on site, we were there in October though so maybe these are just hired for the summer season.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Sorry you missed the information regarding the drinking water. If you had contacted us we would have been happy to provide bottled water, as we have done for many guests.
We do have shower on site, all year around. A map of the site is included in the welcome pack sent to all guests before arrival and shows where the shower is located. Again, if there was any confusion we would have been happy to have helped with this.

Positiv Peaceful site.
Quite quiet.
Easy to find.
Toilets clean: didn’t use the shower facilities.
Will visit again

Vom Platzbetreiber: Many thanks for your review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you again.

Positiv Beautiful views and the peaceful environment certainly make this stay worth its value alone. Flexible check in/out times also advantageous after a long working day. Facilities were well presented and clean, owners made us feel welcome and advised us on good locations to eat and visit. Would certainly visit again.

Negativ No drinking water is a downside but understand this isn’t an easy fix but is reflected in the price.

Positiv It's a nice enough field, reasonably flat

Negativ 2 portaloos, very basic, not clean. Shower very basic, just the one, and very dirty

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for the review. I am sorry you felt our facilities were not clean enough. We clean toilets and showers at least once a day, with checks more often. Unfortunately things can happen between these times, however we will always rectify these as soon as possible, especially if we are notified. It is difficult to put these things right for guests if they do not notify us until after leaving the site.

Positiv It's a field

Negativ lighting in shower not working

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your review, we do not have any lighting in the shower as we do not have electricity on site as we are a basic, rural campsite. The shower can currently be used during hours of daylight and we are looking to provide alternative lighting sources in future.
