Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Good location on outskirts of the town of Wooler, easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Great location for base for walking the Cheviot hills. Pitches were level
Disliked: Touring pitches are tightly packed and hardstanding was gravel with more weeds than gravel. There were also a lot of deep water filled holes beside the majority of pitches. Site facilities were basic and shower and toilet block was covered in mould. Area for emptying waste was overgrown with weeds. Showers had shower curtains that attached themselves to your legs whilst showering and showers were push button that only lasted about 6 seconds per press. Toilets and urinals leaked and some toilets weren't attached to the floor. Despite advertised free WiFi it does not work and had to go back into the reception area to get the password. No shop on site.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Not a lot to be honest, toilets outdated and needed cleaning… the washer and dryer was ok at £8.50 which isn’t a reason to revisit!
Disliked: We arrived to broken glass at the water tap (side of pitch 34).. reported to reception and it was still there when we left 3 days later!!!

Camping pod
Liked: The camping pod was clean and felt secure as I was there alone. I felt safe on site and everyone was lovely. I can’t wait to return.
Disliked: The area for getting ready in the showers could be a little bigger (but that’s the only negative I can think of)
