Peaceful Northumberland site with views over the Tyne Valley
Hadrian’s Wall 10 minutes’ drive; Newcastle 35 minutes
Disposable barbecues welcome; firepits to hire

With a privileged location between the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the south and Northumberland National Park to the north (and easy to access from the A69), Sunniside House is a peaceful site about a mile (15 minutes’ walk) from the small village of Acomb. There are excellent views from nearly every angle here, including far-reaching vistas over the surrounding Tyne Valley and out to the Pennine peaks beyond. Facilities at this simple, rural Northumberland site include a shower, toilets, a washing-up area and a communal fridge; and a limited number of pitches ensures that everyone has sufficient breathing space. You may be able to help the farmers feed the lambs on site (in spring only), or perhaps you’d like to delve into centuries of local history, whether it’s hitting Hadrian’s Wall for rambles along the old Roman frontier (10 minutes’ drive, or a two-mile hike) or checking out the small church of St. Oswald’s in Lee, named after King Oswald of Northumbria, winner of the seventh-century Battle of Heavenfield, which may have taken place at Chollerford (10 minutes), just across the River North Tyne. After your exploration, it’s back to base to freshen up, then off to the popular local pub (about a mile away) for a pint and a home-cooked meal. Disposable barbecues are welcome, if you’d rather eat on site, but they are only allowed in designated areas, while firepits can be rented. Packs of kiln-dried wood, kindling and firelighters are available to buy. Please do not bring your own fuel.

What customers say

This small, quiet campsite offers fabulous views & a warm welcome. Pitches are well-maintained, some with level hardstanding & picnic tables. Facilities are clean & adequate; a communal fridge is a bonus. Ideal for Hadrian's Wall & Hexham. Some minor pitch slopes & limited facilities were noted; a few guests mentioned a lack of hot water for washing dishes.

Valley View primitive grass tent campsite

Liked The views, very handy for Acmob and Hexht

Disliked Not enough parking
The owners are very strict on rules especially parking beyond the sign even if there's no available space. Also petty rules about tying guy ropes to fences.

Valley View primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Small but spacious, well laid out amenities that are spotlessly clean. The hosts are so warm and welcoming, we felt like we were visiting family! An absolute gem. The location is beautiful, secluded but within a stones throw of Hexham.

Disliked The rooster that crows like a woman laughing took a bit to get used to!!!!

Liked Check in was straight forward and owner was pleasant, showed us everything we needed to know. Fridge available to use which was very welcomed. Views were amazing! Very quiet site.

Disliked There was a bit of a slope but that didn’t really detract from our enjoyment. Can’t really be helped.

Local attractions

A military settlement that later developed into a thriving frontier town, Corbridge Roman Town - Hadrian’s Wall (10 minutes’ drive) is home to the ancient remains of barracks, temples and storage facilities. An on-site museum displays some of the items recovered as part of the Corbridge Hoard, such as delicate figurines. Elegant country mansions in the area include National Trust - Wallington (half an hour), which dates back to the 17th century and is filled with pre-Raphaelite paintings and assorted art objects. Its expansive grounds include vast swathes of woodland crossed by the River Wansbeck. The Discovery Museum in Newcastle (35 minutes) showcases scientific and technological advances made in the region, from Joseph Swan’s first lightbulb to George Stevenson’s steam engine. Stop at Grainger Market to stock up on foodstuffs, then cross the iconic Tyne Bridge to reach the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, housed in a refurbished flour mill.
