We stayed just one night at this site on our way back down from Scotland - and I can hardly wait to go back! This is a lovely and obviously well run site in a wonderful area. I almost always read the members' comments book when I go to a site and everyone seemed as delighted as we were. Interestingly, there were several comments from children who also loved being there. The facilities block is immaculate and the whole site seems well run and cared for.
We will definitely be returning next year but for much longer!

Stayed here for 10 wet days in the June storms, we had a hard standing (no 41) and had no problem with flooding, however, some of the awnings in the grass area nearest the river had some water come into their awnings and they managed to move to a better pitch.
This site is really busy however very peaceful. Caravans are asked to leave by 12. 00 midday and usually there were quite a few caravans ready to come in at that time so the best pitches are taken really early.
There is a mixture of hard standing and grass only and all of the pitches are really large and big enough to take a large awning and a car.
The toilet and shower facilities and kept very clean and even though it was really wet weather there was no evidence in the toilet block of wet or muddy feet marks.
Small reception with lovely wardens who gave us a great welcome and as usual with caravan club sites we were asked to choose our pitch and then tell reception our pitch number.
Wi-Fi reception at our pitch (no 41) was pretty good, we managed to get 'connect 3' and 'T Mobile' also managed no problem with 'orange' for our mobiles.
Loads to see and do in the surrounding area, we went to Alnwick which is a lovely wee town with castle and fabulous gardens, Bamburgh Castle is another great day out, Seahouses, where you can take a boat to the Farne Islands, Holy Isle where you can drive across the causway but must first check the tide timetable,
We also visited Berwick Upon Tweed and Paxton house and had numerous little drives out to some beautiful villages, Etal and Ford are also worth a visit and you can travel on the little railway linking the villages.
I could go on and on about this area and in the 10 days we were there we did not manage half of the stuff we had planned so looks like we will have to go back. I would thoroughly recommend this site and we will of course return.
The only down side (or up side depending on your point of view) is that in the time we were there there were no children to be seen in the site, there are no facilities for children or teenagers and I don't know if this keeps them away from this site or perhaps the school holidays have yet to start!

Site - I love this site, easy to get to, but a bit out of the way. Lovely area, flat, hardstanding and grass, separated into decent size areas off main circular drive, Lots of shrubs and trees, but not overshadowing. The grass areas you have to drive across to access some of the hardstandings can be boggy after rain so take care. Whooppee WIFI only the second site in 6 weeks, mainly in Scotland and Orkney, the other was Morvich, understand CC are having trouble with their supplier. TV on cable. Digital and analogue (due to be turned off Sept 2012). Choc a block middle of May in fact one van couldn't find a pitch until it was discovered a motorhome had forgotten to take his pitch marker with him when he left.
Also good if you like aircraft as they often overfly on their way to Otterburn ranges.
Wardens - very friendly and helpful, sell wonderful local icecream, at a much cheaper price than at Alnwick Gardens.
Dog Walk - great on site, and can go on nature area, river runs through great for a paddle or swim. Wonderful place.
Washroom - Newish Wooden barn-like building, immaculate lots of showers etc. Decent size showers but fixed head so have to lean in to wall to get head under and temperature tends to fluctuate.

This was our second visit to this site and it was just as well maintained and clean, and the wardens just as friendly, as I remembered from the first time.
Powburn village is about a mile away and has a pub and a petrol station which sells lots of essentials, including a good selection of ready meals, wine, sweets etc.
There are some bird hides fairly close to the site. For those who prefer more strenuous pursuits there are of course relatively straightforward walks in the Cheviots and some good level cycling particularly around the local villages and the Ingram National Park Centre.
All in all a peaceful setting.

Stayed here when the weather was brilliant so that brightens everything up, , but this site was spot on, couldn't fault it. Lovely grounds, river, walk bird hides, playing field (should be very good for children) showers etc, top notch. Staff very friendly and helpful. Had our little dog with us so we do like to walk and this place didn't disappoint, , turn right out the main gate and there are two lakes you can walk around or carry straight on to river. Over other side is the Northumberland national park, beautiful, or if you take the car you can walk up to Linhope Spout waterfall, well worth a look.

Booked at short notice via the club website. Arrived and allowed to choose our own pitch.
The site was fully booked during our stay but did not feel overcrowded. The facilities are excellent as is the location.
Alnwick castle is only 10 miles to the east and was loved by both the adults and children.
Rothbury is also about 10 miles away and is home to Cragside that is managed by the National Trust.
There is a garage at the end of the lane that also has a small costcutter supermarket. I have no doubt that we will be back to this site.
