  • Pop-up touring site overlooking the Northumberland coast
  • Dunstanburgh Castle 15 minutes' drive; 20 minute to Alnwick
  • Dog-friendly site 10 minutes' walk from the beach and local pub
Fancy nesting in the Northumberland National Landscape for a little while – and with a sea view too? Motorhome and caravan tourers can do so in a fabulous location at Link House Farm, a pop-up site on a farm overlooking the coast about half a mile from the village of High Newton-by-the-Sea. This is a no-frills setup, with no electric hookups and just portable toilets and a a chemical disposal point on the facilities front, but it's mightily peaceful and scenic – the spacious pitching field is level and in an elevated position to give it wonderful views over coast and countryside. It's a laidback place where kids and dogs are welcome (as long as the latter are kept on leads so they don't disturb livestock in the neighbouring fields). Being able to see the sea from the site should give you a hint that there's beach action not far away – and in fact it’s only about a 10-minute walk to Link House beach, a long dog-friendly stretch of sand. The local pub is also only about 10 minutes' walk away – just the spot for a refreshing drink after a long coastal walk or perhaps a round at one of the golf courses spread along this stretch of coast. There’s some great birdwatching in this area too, particularly in the wildlife ponds at Low Newton-by-the-Sea or along the Long Nanny river estuary. Sea fishing, watersports and cycle rides may also fill some of your time – or perhaps touring historic castles like Alnwick, Dunstanburgh and Bamburgh, all of which are within a 20-minute drive.

What customers say

Spacious, peaceful, well-located site, great for motorhomes. Praised for large, private pitches, near beaches & pubs. Clean facilities (porta-loos) generally good, occasional smell/unit issues. Basic but excellent value, relaxed vibe, friendly, beautiful views.

Jacqueline S.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked The ease of booking online and just turning up, such a relaxing place to stay. Loads of room for motorhomes so as private as you want it to be. Nice walks and beautiful sunsets. We've spoken to the owners on previous stays and they're very welcoming and friendly.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked As described. Booked in for 2 nights ended up staying 4. Loved the local walks, cycle rides, beaches and being within 20mins walk of 2 pubs. Really appreciated having 2 porta loos and large rubbish bin on the field.

Disliked Not having a designated signed drinking water tap. Witnessed someone washing out their toilet cassette at same place we were filling up our water bottles.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Peace and quiet
Good flat field
Toilets provided and kept clean and well stocked
good position to walk to coastal path and beach
Friendly owner
Great little pub at low newton , the ship less than a mile away.
Another pub 10 minutes walk away , ate there it was ok but overpriced.

Disliked Nothing that we disliked , however the water needs clearly labelling drinking water to stop people washing out toilet cassettes where contamination may occur (we witnessed this )
Suggest separate clearly labelled taps next to the emptying points .

Geoff N.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Great location 5 minutes from the shoreline
Plenty of walking routes & good access to both the village pub and the Ship Inn at Newton by the Sea.
Friendly owner and good response to communications. Easy to find a level pitch on the field which is large enough to give all uses plenty of space.

Local attractions

There’s almost no avoiding castles in this area, which was at the forefront of potential invasions for centuries. Along the coast, a couple of popular spots are the atmospheric ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle (15 minutes' drive) and the imposing Bamburgh Castle (20 minutes), a place full of tales of knights, dragons and Vikings. Lindisfarne Castle (40 minutes) on Holy Island is another wonderful place to visit. Inland, the likes of Alnwick Castle (20 minutes), Chillingham Castle (35 minutes) and National Trust - Cragside (45 minutes) hold plenty of appeal for history lovers (and Harry Potter fans too, in the case of Alnwick). For wildlife outings, take a boat trip to the Farne Islands from Seahouses (15 minutes) or visit Andy Howey’s Birds of Prey and Reptiles Centre (half an hour). Something a bit active? There’s a surf school in Amble (20 minutes) and several golf courses close by, including Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Course (10 minutes) and Seahouses Golf Club (15 minutes), both with fabulous (albeit possibly distracting) sea views.
