  • Laidback family-run site behind a Northumberland country pub
  • Berwick-upon-Tweed 10 minutes' drive; half an hour to Holy Island
  • Barbecues allowed; dogs and kids welcome; easy access to the A698
This is a fine location indeed for a Northumberland night or few… The pitches at The Salutation Inn are just off the A698, the main road running between Berwick-upon-Tweed and Coldstream (about 10 minutes' drive from both), so they're easy to get to and well placed for all sorts of days out. What those days out involve is totally up to you: it could be walks and cycling in the Northumberland National Park, wildlife watching along the coast and out on the Farne Islands or exploring castles (including one that’s been visited by a certain boy wizard…) and other historic sights. Golf, fishing, watersports, horse riding…there’s plenty of choice around this scenic area. Your base for all these outings will be a laidback family-run site with spacious pitches where all kinds of guests are welcome: families, couples, groups, solo visitors and dog owners all included. There’s a good collection of guest facilities available, including a washing-up area, a chemical disposal point and a clean modern bathroom block with showers and toilets. You’re welcome to bring a barbecue, and can pick up supplies in either of the nearby towns or the butcher in Norham (five minutes' drive). As you may have guessed from the name, this site is next to a country pub that serves a good range of drinks for your evening tipple.

Martin T.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Greeted by a very friendly and helpful member of staff.
Lots of space for your pitch, not on top of each other.
The village of Norham 1 1/2 miles away has a lovely pub called the masons arms.

Disliked Found out the pub was closed and looked like it had been for some time.
Shower and toilet block could do with overhaul to bring it up to a decent standard.

Local attractions

Northumberland is full of gorgeous scenery, so it’s a wonderful place for a walk. That could be in the northern stretches of the Northumberland National Park or along part of St. Cuthbert’s Way, both around a half-hour drive away, or closer to home at places like the Duddo Five Stones (10 minutes’ drive) or Routin Linn Waterfall (20 minutes). There are some lovely walks along the coast, too, whether that’s a stroll around the Elizabethan walls and along the riverbank in Berwick-upon-Tweed (10 minutes) or a trip around the dramatic ruins of Lindisfarne Priory on Holy Island (half an hour). Boat trips from Seahouses (45 minutes) take you to the Farne Islands for puffin and seal spotting; back on land, there are more animal encounters at Hay Farm Heavy Horse Centre (15 minutes). And how about a castle or two? Bamburgh Castle (35 minutes) is in a fabulous beach-side location, and Alnwick Castle (45 minutes) is one of the largest inhabited castles in the country and played a starring role in the Harry Potter films.
