This lovely site embodies what a CS on a farm should be like. Everything works well, although there are no frills, the view's pleasing and the welcome is friendly and helpful without being intrusive.
It's sited on top of the hills behind Hexham, with unspectacular but very agreeable views across the fields and countryside.
The water tap is in a box which appears fairly rustic but hides a perfectly good tap.
The field is nice, soft but firm grass, cut short enough without being over-manicured; there are 5 good sized pitches, most with EHU, you can choose to be under trees or not, and while it's bordered with trees these don't impede the view.
The rescue hens from the farm wandered about but weren't trying to climb in with us - we've met other hens elsewhere which did! It's lovely and quiet, with sheep in the adjoining fields making just the right soothing noises.
Faciities: Two comfortable rooms in the farm buildings, one with a loo and basin, the other a with loo, basin and very decent shower, with adjustable heat and direction. No timer, just polite notices encouraging you to remember it's a shared facility.
It was a pleasure to meet Elizabeth, the owner, again, after a previous visit.
We'd certainly come here again.
NOTE WELL: Check in advance which way you approach, especially if towing. The B6306 road up from Hexham passing Dipton woods has a narrow bridge with a 90 degree turn at the end, quite impractical for anything more than a small campervan. I'd not try to tow anything, even our little 5m caravan there. We come up from the South and turn off the A68 near Kiln Pit Hill.
Gem of a site, down its own road, which meant it was away from the main road and also light pollution.
The main noise was from the Curlew flying around. Lovely rural views, Chickens ran around the field, sheep and lambs in the adjacent field.
This is a grass site and can be effected by the weather, Due to the recent rain we stopped in the hardcore “Road” in the middle of the field and hooked-up.
Clean Toilet and toilet/shower room. There is a community shop and Pub in Slaley, which we were unable to visit.
Site is within easy reach of Corbridge, Hexham and the major Roman Wall sites.
We've been before and love the location and the site has great facilities (shower, I door games room with pool, skittles, draughts and table tennis)
There was some initial booking confusion that caused some anxiety - this was resolved fairly swiftly - thankfully. In all honesty.
There were lots of cobwebs/spiders in the toilets/showers that could have done with a feather duster (my daughter was a little frightened) and the floors could have done with a mop.
Very pleasing and wonderfully peaceful grass site. We regularly heard oystercatchers and curlew calling, and nothing louder most of the time we were there.
Views East over rolling farmland, North down past the "Travellers Rest" (didn't visit so can't comment) and on towards Hexham, only minutes away. (If towing to Hexham, check on your route. The winding "No HGV's" road past Linnels is attractive in a car, probably entertaining on a bike, but the tight right-angles into & out of the very narrow bridge would be seriously impractical. )
Next to the field, 3 rams far too busy cropping grass in their own pasture to pay any attention whatsoever to people using the water tap on the campsite side of their fence!
Excellent location well down the farm's own lane, well signed once you're approaching.
Tape-marked bays meant good size pitches, most with EHU.
Slaley's village community shop, a very short drive away, is apparently excellent, though we didn't get to use it. Open most mornings.
Very business-like, friendly and helpful owner.
No children when we visited, but it's been set up in the past to be child friendly with a basic play area and "mud pie kitchen" hut, also what looked like a proper skittle alley in a temporarily closed barn.
Facilities, 2 unisex toilets, one with a good shower, fine and well maintained, just across farm courtyard; many of us were using our own most of the time.
The chemical toilet disposal point is not the newest, but works perfectly well.
We had very heavy rain at times and the ground drained well enough. I imagine it would be fairly exposed in a real blow, although there are trees round to provide shelter, "lollipop" cut by the owner to still allow the views.
Easy to reach Corbridge, Hexham, Blanchland and other Tyne valley area places, likewise the major Roman Wall sites. Vindolanda, as in the famous Writing Tablets, was our choice, and was hugely rewarding; the museum is superb, and they're still digging the site and have years of research material to uncover.
Small site in field next farm house and buildings. Grass pitches were very wet when we arrived as the weather had been poor and the pitches at the lower end were quite soft. We pitched upper middle which was fine. Site is high up so we caught a lot of windy weather.
Toilets and shower were both clean and well organised. Very quiet with views across local woodland and farms. It's nicely positioned to visit Hexham, Corbridge and other Roman sites.
Beware very narrow bridge with steep approach unsuitable for caravans on road to Hexham. Do not arrive from that direction! We had an excellent walk from Corbridge to Hexham and another round Derwent reservoir from Pow Country park car park to picnic area on far side and back.
The cafe at the centre near the dam is only machine coffee with prepacked sandwiches, cakes, crisps etc. No hot food. There is a nice community run shop in Slaley where we bought local beer, yoghurt and eggs.
Also very pleasant charity run vegetarian cafe in Hexham near Abbey with delicious lunchtime food, Hextol Tans Cafe, St Mary's Chare. Recommend. via mobile
This is just the place to go when you want quiet, an excellent view, and neat facilities.
For everyone who wants to eat out: The Traveller's Rest just down the road serves food to die for! We've stayed there twice now and are sure to come back.
Just returned from a lovely weekend at this peaceful site. Lovely location and a lovely site. Toilet, washing facilities and shower on hand, which are well kept. Friendly chickens and farm dog but be careful as the dog will get into awning and eat anything lying round which didn't go well with our dogs. Good facilities for the kids including a little bowling alley built into a shed. We will be returning for weekend breaks as often as we can
Really nice little site with lovely owner, thank you Elizabeth. We enjoyed the peace and location of this site. Beautiful setting with farm animals, cute friendly lambs in next door field. Lots of walking around the area and lovely views across the country from the campsite field. Really enjoyed our 2 Day stop over thank you.
