  • Small touring park less than five minutes' drive from Seahouses
  • A five-minute drive from Bamburgh, with two castles within 10 miles
  • Spacious farmland site where dogs, families and barbecues are welcome
Breathe easy on a break spent at Westfield Paddock Caravan Site, a small, privately owned and peaceful touring park for those with on-board facilities. On the edge of the gorgeous Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the family-run park is surrounded by gorgeous farmland with lovely views, and it's family-friendly too. Dogs are also welcome as long as they’re well behaved. Other strolls include one towards the village of Seahouses about a mile away for a chip supper, although you can also stay well fed and watered with the assistance of the pubs and restaurants within the local area. Food shops are within easy reach when you're foraging for yourself, and barbecues are permitted at the park. Set the grill up at your pitch then head over to the service area to sort errands with amenities including chemical waste disposal, a water tap and rubbish and recycling facilities. Also on site is a handy information caravan stacked with leaflets to help you decide on days out – which might include wildlife-spotting boat trips to the Farne Islands, a round of sea-view golf or outings to the stunning coastal castles at Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh… Bringing bikes along (or hiring locally) is a fine idea too – the area’s well served for bike paths, and the Sustrans Coast and Castles South route passes by the park.

FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: We loved the location of the site a 1mile walk to Seahouses and a 2.5mile walk to Bamburgh. The pitches are of a good size with hard standing and grass, electric hook up and water supply at each pitch. The site is best suited to self contained caravan or motorhome as there are no toilet or showers, that is no detriment to the site. The site is very well kept, the elsan point is hygienic and clean and kept in a fenced gated area as are the waste bins. We liked the site so much we stayed 3 extra nights. 2 steps outside the site gate there is a wonderful view of Bamburgh Castle. Kevin the host is friendly and helpful, he has plans to extend the site and may install facilities so watch out for updates.

FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Fabulous site, mainly very well looked after all new gravel pitches. You can see the work that’s been put into the site this year. The pitches will get even better as the planting between them grows. Some older reviews are very much not applicable any longer. Water & EHU at each pitch so perfect me. Great location with easy walk to the town or beach I had two children under 10 staying part of the time & they found the walk fine.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike. It’s clear when booking there are no showers or toilets so no big deal & as you have your own water supply, access to water & drainage for your own shower is no problem.

FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: I've stayed at this site many times over many years. The site has recently been upgraded with more gravel pitches and it's been very well done.

Disliked: Sadly, very sadly, this site is no longer an adult only site. All the pitches are around the edge leaving a perfect space for children to play in the middle.

FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: The really Honest professional customer service,explained why our pitch was no longer available. Offered a full refund but as we were visiting family that wasn't an option. Carol arranged another site which turned out to be nearer to where we needed to be. Definitely would book again going to be a really great site once the new owners have settled in

Disliked: Site could do with one spare hard standing pitch for emergency so pitches don't have to be cancel

FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Location but that was all

Disliked: Absolute nightmare this was nothing but a muddy field for a few gravel patches patches to pass as a hard standing. Not fit for purpose at all van sinking in mud when driving in and trying to get onto the pitch both sides of hard standing was just a mud bath so soon as you get out you in a led bath. Tried to contact owners who have ignored me

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello Stu Thank you for you review although feel we must respond to some of your facts as they are incorrect. You booked a 'Fully serviced grass and gravel touring pitch' which is exactly what you were on, obviously there is was a grass short drive to get on to the pitch and due to the horrendous weather the UK has been experiencing recently, there is rain water around the park and mud. The hard standing you refer to is this the grass and gravel pitch you booked? As for 1 star for Wifi , child friendliness, cleanliness, facilities and activities, we feel this is totally unjustified, the park is situated in an AONB, what is there not for families, children and adults alike not to enjoy? A beach within less than a 1 mile walk, surfing, castles, swimming pool, spa , steam room all on your doorstep within 1 mile?? Accommodation as a 1 star also, it was your own accommodation you were stay in? Confusing?

Liked: Loved the clean site and hard standing pitch.

Disliked: Lack of toilets and showers. But as a new site it’s ok. Also noisy, inconsiderate other campers playing loud music at 8am on Sunday morning. Hard standings a little too hard for awning pegs!

FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: The location, some of the pitches had privacy hedges! A thoughtful dog walking area, fenced off on the hedge of the site, good approach road, short walk into Seahouses, best CL in the area in my opinion.

Disliked: Not having a we, we knew this when booked but think if they added this it would outrank any cl for miles around!

Route directions

For the most straightforward route from the A1, follow the B1342 through Bamburgh where it turns into the B1340. Just after the stone buildings on the left and wildlife pond on the right take the narrow road to the right signposted Shoreston. After a mile, at the small crossroads, Westfield Paddock is opposite you.

Local attractions

Stick around Seahouses for the golf club, horse riding and afternoons at the spa, or set off for sandy times on North Sunderland’s shores (all about five minutes’ drive). Wildlife-spotting boat trips to the Farne Islands leave from the village, with chances to peer at puffins, seals and dolphins during the tour. Bamburgh Castle’s about the same distance from the park as Seahouses, and a beachside walking road from the site means it’s possible to reach it with a ramble of around three miles. More golf, with views across the coast, is to be had at Bamburgh Castle Golf Club (5 minutes’ drive); alternatively, continue explorations of stately structures at Dunstanburgh Castle – another beachside fortification dating back to the 14th century – and Alnwick Castle (under 25 minutes away). Alternatively, take trips to the historic Etal Estate (yet another stunning structure in the area) and take a ride on the most northerly narrow-gauge steam train in England, the Heatherslaw Light Railway (35 minutes’ drive).
