Liked: Not a lot, pitches to small & to close together, toilets dry human crows on the wall never cleaned off, chemical disposal point disgusting just like an open drain with no lid, dirty wet toilet paper on the surrounding concrete area, given discount food vouchers for the clubhouse for breakfast when no food was served until 5pm.
Disliked: A lot

Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked: Decent sized flat pitches. Clean site river running through middle. Bar, restaurant, pool and games room complex over the road. Plus milk bar / ice cream parlour. Walking distance to Wooler and 10-15 minutes with bus station to Alnwick and Berwick. Toilets and showers clean and hot.
Disliked: Our pitch was fine but for the fact that the caravan next to us (think it was static) was parked the wrong way round and pitched to the left, so was very close to us we thought they should have been parked the other way for safety reasons. Think it was the only one parked that way

Liked: Good location to quickly access nice walks on the Cheviots and right by the road network to visit other sites like Alnwick castle etc. Lovely stream running alongside the site.
Disliked: The touring pitches are quite close together and a slight element of chav culture on the touring area but not so much that it would put me off going there again.
