A aimé : Lovely quiet site with friendly and helpful warden. Some of the facilities are a bit outdated but are spotlessly clean and well maintained. A perfect site for enjoying walks and stargazing thanks to the total lack of light pollution. The sound of the river just adds to the relation levels at this site. We’ll definitely be coming back.

N'a pas aimé: Nothing at all.

A aimé : Lovely warm welcome on arrival as it was our first visit. The site looked well maintained as we drove down to the river to choose our touring pitch. We had 2 dogs with us and there is a fantastic field, dedicated to dogs, just over the bridge where they could run their energy off. The facilities were clean and well stocked. We will definitely stay here again.

A aimé : On arrival we were greeted by a wonderful lady, full of energy and very helpful. She directed us to our pitch which turned out to be the perfect pitch, gorgeous views and the stream running by. The site itself was quiet and very well maintained. Gorgeous waterfall walk from the site, not too far. I would highly recommend this beautiful site !

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your wonderful review ,we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay Michael

A aimé : Being greeted on arrival, lovely friendly welcome, everything was explained on arrival, found everyone we meet on site friendly and helpful. We had one of the hard standing pitches near the river and had no hassle manoeuvring a large twin axle van into pitch and had enough room to park the car in front of the van on the hard standing, loved great views down the valley and the dark skies. Fantastic dog exercise areas. The facilities are a little dated but we found them spotlessly clean. Location wise we found great for ease of access, no battling speeding logging trucks on narrow roads and for exploring the area. Would happily stay again.

N'a pas aimé: Not much

Réponse du gestionnaire : Pleased you enjoyed your stay, even with lousy weather.

A aimé : Location, wildlife and handily next to A68. Abbey Takeaway in Jedburgh does gluten free fish and chips (and haggis) and only 20 minute drive. Microwave in kitchen area very helpful. Spacious plot next to stream with tap and picnic bench. Owners lovely people and the site was very quiet.

N'a pas aimé: Much felling of trees unfortunately leaving a patchy forest. The Kielder forest drive and some routes closed due to storm Babel. Facilities do desperately need updating.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Kielder is a working Forest ,it supplies nearly ten percent of England's timber, so they have cut some of the trees but they constantly replant. We have planted an extra 2000 trees in our dog walking fields ,this month March 24 . Unfortunately you had rather a lot of rain during your visit ,this is the wettest winter I have had here. Michael

A aimé : Lovely site, truly a Northumberland wilderness. Lovely views and walks straight from the site. The facilities although basic were clean and well maintained. Very friendly and a warm welcome.

N'a pas aimé: The only thing that I would improve is the signage clearly indicating the location of toilet facilities, and waste disposal points.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you so much for your encouraging words,your appreciation lifts our team,especially with the constant rain depressing everyone this winter! Angela

A aimé : Quietness of the site. Plenty of dog bins. Would be good to stargaze as it’s very dark. Showers had plenty of hot water. Great phone and TV signal.

N'a pas aimé: Pitches are very narrow and muddy when wet. Toilets in touring area not open. Water in touring area not turned on. Shower block very old and cold.

Recommanderait à des amis Séjournerait à nouveau

Réponse du gestionnaire : Pitches muddy . It has been the wettest February,March since The flood and unfortunately during your stay it never stopped raining day or night. We have to turn off water at riverside pitches during the winter ,to prevent bursts! so far this winter. Temperatures have been plus Ten and Fourteen below . As you say ladies shower area is 20 years old but it works ,showers good pressure and Hot. Michael
