Liked: A great little campsite that served our needs for one night. We were cycling the Hadrian's Cycleway route, and the campsite is right on it so it meant no detour, which was perfect! Facilities were spotless and adequate for the size of the site. We didn't eat at the pub, but we wished we had. Owner and staff very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend to others.
