Gordon the warden, he was so helpful, friendly, nothing was too much trouble. He made of point of chatting to all campers making sure they had everything they needed, knew where the shops etc were. Such a lovely friendly gentleman. Also the site itself was beautiful , peaceful, spread out so you didn’t feel squashed in. Beautiful surroundings. Felt very calm and peaceful. Liked that there were a variety of pitch sizes and camping options available.

Not so much disliked but needs more amenities. 1 shower, 2 toilets and 1 sink between what I estimated to be approx 15 females is not enough. I didn’t really dislike anything and even the 1 shower,2 toilets won’t put me off from going back to high hermitage.

The friendliness of the park owner and his knowledge of where to visit, places to ear and drink and shop. Even offered to help is pack up as rain was due. Cannot fault him.

Only one shower, one sink in bathroom. Only one pot wash. There was what seemed an abandoned static which could be converted for more facilities?

A lovely little site close enough to Newcastle to be convenient for day trips, but not so close as to be noisy. The warden is very friendly and can't do enough to help.

Grass pitched became waterlogged after heavy rain

The site itself is currently being improved, which is evident the grass tent pitches are near the toilets and shower blocks which is handy. The site is minimal, but peaceful and the site caretaker, Gordon, is a lovely guy, an assett to the site, full of knowledge of the local area and extremely helpful and can see he works hard managing and tending to the site alone.

Although they done what they needed, the toilets and showers are a little dated, but useable and there is only one male and female shower, can imagine, in busier times it being a pain trying to use shower.

The setting of the site

Everything is tired and requires an upgrade to bring it up to the standard of Tranquil sotes

The kind warden Gordon

Almost everything else.

Clean site

–

Lovely quiet site great friendly staff 5*

–

- donkeys provided great entertainment for kids
- Gordon was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and reliable
- toilets were kept clean
- well located for days out
- shower was hot (great for adults, not for kids as only one temperature)

- not enough toilet and shower facilities
- steps down to facilties not safe for children
- wash up area very dark and full of spiders. Roof unsafe
- washing machine area only unlocked on request & smelled so horrible that we bought new clothes rather than using it
- ground was dry when we pitched but became very swampy beneath the tent with rain; site very boggy in general by our pitch
- not safe for young kids to play as there were a lot of ditches and stinging nettles

Fantastic place lovely location great for walks Gordon the warden (Flash as he likes to be called because of his photography skills) is a diamond and can't do enough to make sure your stay is exactly what you want 😀
