Frankly, we only had a few hours to spare. We were caught in a heavy rainstorm, so we packed up the tent. Besides, there was no one else there. The place was so peaceful, beautiful, quiet, and clean. The restrooms were clean. A herd of cows were watching us from the adjacent field. I liked it here; I'll come back another day when there's no storm.
Disliked There are lots of black flies and they are sticking to you.

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.

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.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
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.
