What customers say
A chill spot with ace staff. Lovely clean sites near Wooler. Great for families, though loos and showers need a spruce. Entertainment's a good yarn, but a bit of a trek for some.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Overall we enjoyed our stay and intend to return.
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Very clean, and tidy site.
Well maintained.
Level pitches.
Professional, helpful and friendly reception staff.
Disliked Looked forward to an evening meal on our last night.
When we reached the Bar and Grill, we were informed the only menu was pizzas , burgers and a child's menu. There was no chef.
Reluctantly we opted for a pepperoni pizza and fries.
It was tasty, but was over priced.
No dessert menu.

Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Liked the overall pitch with the ducks
Had meal in bar and could not fault it generous portions as well and 15% discount was a real bonus for first night
Disliked Bit to close together
The entertainment being on the other side of road and only on till eight o clock the nights we were there then just music playing no atmosphere at all not worth walking over to especially when it was raining
The toilets were not the best floor was always wet in one bit it’s like tourers were an afterthought shame as it could be lovely if not so dated

Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Touring field close to shower blocks.
Disliked Very big park. Mostly caravans. Too busy. When we got to out pitch, there was no hook up available. There are 4 hook ups per post and where we should have hooked up it was not numbered and all electric points were taken. After speaking to reception we plugged in to a different pitch number. Not very well organised.
