Kedvelték Loved the privacy of the pitch between 2 motorhomes as we came with friends. As a dog owner the green area to the front was superb for the dog to run. If the weather had been better it would have also been an ideal area for a bbq. The views are totally stunning and the staff were on hand to answer any of our questions.

Kedvelték We were lucky enough to arrive on Thursday evening and have the entire place to ourselves on Friday morning.

Claire and Rob were wonderful and allowed us to shower in the bunkhouse

The lack of lighting was perfect for stargazing in the evening which was fantastic

I received an email with instructions beforehand, which for my first time in a motorhome helped remove some anxiety for arrival.

Nem kedvelték the Wi-fi was patchy for me, but I didn't come to a secluded spot for the wifi so it didn't cause me any issue.

Kedvelték Friendly welcome from owner.
Stunning views.
Quiet location.
Added quirky touches.

The holiday cabins looked lovely.

Nem kedvelték The eco toilet shed had subsided slightly, so quite difficult to sit down and stand back up, especially if your legs are aching from lots of walking.
I love the concept but would advise having own toilet facilities.

Kedvelték Pellet fed wood fire is amazing for heating the building, such a dark sky environment beautiful on an evening and friendly owners who always smiled and waved as you were coming to or leaving site. Well located close to multiple areas for walks and exploring. No road noise on a night even though the log trucks pass a lot.

Nem kedvelték Nothing, had a brilliant week.

Kedvelték Great location close to Kielder Water

Nem kedvelték Warning - stay clear unless you have guaranteed use of the facilities in the bunkhouse and sole use of the hardstanding.
Calling a toilet "eco" or "outside" is no excuse for a wooden cubicle with a door that doesn't fit, with no handwashing or sanitising equipment that opens directly onto the children's play area.
The shower is another wooden cubicle right next to the pot wash with a loose stone floor and nowhere inside to separate your dry clothes and towel from the shower - you would need to change outside, next to the pot wash.
The hardstanding is too small for more than one campervan - a mobile home turned up after we had parked our campervan that turned round and left. The position of the hook up would mean power leads trailing across the route used by other vehicles and pedestrians.
The pot wash had no running water when we stayed and no light, so make sure you wash up before dusk.

The bothies and bunkhouse looked OK form the outside but facilities for the pitches are shocking.

Kezelői megjegyzés: So, it's true, we are a basic pitch up and we don't hide behind this fact.
Our outside toilet is on the wonk and the door needs a slam when there has been weeks of rain due to wood swell! The pitch users get to use the bunkhouse showers and toilet only when the building is not booked by guests. The outdoor shower and sink was re-plumbed on friday espcially for you 2 campers, I explained that we don't normally have this facility in the winter because the frost pops the pipework! That said, we are value for money, we have van-lifers who come here and recharge their stuff and use our expensive electric which is why we are cheaper in the summer than the winter.
We have only 2 pitches that are grass, which cannot be used after 6 weeks of wet weather so it is also true that the hard standing is tight for 2 campervans. I informed you that another van was coming and to park up tighty, which was ignored, so the others left and we had to refund them. I also gave you a good welcome as I always do when I see people arrive.
The pitches are usually for self sufficient people, as the main business here is people staying in our Bunkhouse, Bothies or Cabins, which we are very highly rated for.
We have wildlife pond a football/netball court and sauna a woodland bar & BBQ area in the Northumberland National set in 5 acres, all for £27.50 in the summer & £35.00 in the winter...
All this said, we have now made the pitch exclusive until the grass drys and please note our wifi is perfect & free if you had bothered to ask for the code.
Everything is rustic but clean because we are slightly alternative and not a' run of the mill glitzy site'.
Most people love it, but it is normal for some poeple not to get it and be 'selfish' in the process by giving a bad review,
Note; you do need a long electric lead...

Kedvelték In beautiful countryside easy to find

Nem kedvelték Hardstanding was a bit tight to get onto. Wifi didn't work on the motorhome pitch

Kezelői megjegyzés: Sorry you couldn't get on the wi-fi as it was working for everyone else.
I wish you had to come to find me and I could have helped you.
Kind regards,
Claire.

Kedvelték Peaceful and awesome host. Best night sleep we had in the campervan. Would love to come back in spring and book a bothy or bring the family for Christmas.

Nem kedvelték The weather could have been more clement, but then it could have been much worse conversely so mustn't grumble.
