Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: Location close to Alnwick and other nice places to visit

Disliked: I pitched the tent, went out and when I returned I could not even park next to my tent as half of my pitch area was taken over by tents. I don't mind children but the noise of about 10 children in those tents next to me, I couldn't get a night's sleep. Also there was only one sink for dishes and it was blocked and full of food waste , completely unhygienic.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: Big clean toilet block flat field and lots of space. Lots of hot water

Disliked: An uncommon complaint, the pressure and volume of water fro the hot taps when you pushed the tap was often too much for the sink and tended to splash up onto your clothes.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Handy base for touring Northumberland. Good size pitches with water and electric. Shower and toilet block were very clean throughout stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great pub on site. Some noise from trains during the day but no problem at night and this is to be expected when pitched next to a railway.

Disliked: Toilet block is a little tired but was kept clean throughout.

Local attractions

Head east from the pub and you’ll hit the coast with a drive of 10 minutes or so. Once you’re there you can sign up for surf lessons in Amble, look out for birds at Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre or wander through woods to hit the sand dunes at Druridge Bay Country Park. Looking a little further along the coast, there’s a nice long beach and a golf course in Warkworth (10 minutes' drive) and a couple of splendid seafront castles in Dunstanburgh (25 minutes) and Bamburgh (35 minutes). Holy Island (45 minutes) is another lovely place to visit, with lots of wildlife as well as an ancient priory and Lindisfarne Castle – don’t forget, access is via a causeway that’s inaccessible at high tide. Away from the coast, you can take a tour of Alnwick Castle (15 minutes) – a particular treat for Harry Potter fans – or take the kids to meet the animals at Northumberland Zoo (15 minutes). National Trust - Cragside (25 minutes) is a nice place for a gentle wander; for something more challenging, head to the trails of Northumberland National Park (35 minutes).
