Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Friendly and welcoming host, peace and quiet, and lovely views over the hills. We went at the last night of the season which meant is was only 3 tents up, which added to the charm.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Good location near to Alnwick. Friendly atmosphere.
Disliked: Pitchup description highlighted Castle views but the castle was not visible from any part of the field and photo showing castle and quad bike was misleading. Pitchup description also highlights “posh” loos, but the toilets were just the standard building site / festival loos with no lighting and not very nice at all. The site is on a very exposed location subject to prevailing winds.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Beautiful setting next to rolling fields of wheat. A small family, friendly site with basic amenities.
A warm welcome by the owners who checked in on the site daily.
The site was peaceful but fell quiet after dark.
Ideal location to visit Alnwick, Bamburgh, Holy Island and Seahouses amongst other locations.
Disliked: The toilets began to smell after a couple of nights. Maybe an info poster to explain how to use the flush system then younger campers need to be shown how to use it.
