We were out of season so site reception only open 8.30-11.0, as we had to prepay online and landed after lunch, a sign in shop window with our name and pitch number did the job, from that point on over 2 days we never saw or met any staff / wardens. Our pitch had obviously had an awning on 1/2 of it for a long long time and the grass was gone, just soil. Literally. Not great site wardening / rules
Toilets have no windows at all, just auto on lights (didn't test how long they stay on for!). 2 toilet cubicles seems to few if it gets busy, but all clean (paint etc getting a little bit tired though)
Wash up area is also in the toilet building and again no windows (weird). Always plenty of free hot water.
Do follow their suggestion to follow their map to the site as satnav takes you down some very thin/long back roads with high hedges, I would not have wanted to meet anything coming the other way towing, as there really are no passing places at all for miles!
We stayed here for 3 nights during our mini tour of Northumberland (£12 per night including hook-up). It was a lovely spacious site, flat with good facilities.
I particularly liked the provision of a microwave, and the 'green' lighting in the toilet/ shower blocks that was motion-activated to save energy. Washers and dryers were available too. Free hot water for showers.
Anyone who wanted a lie-in past 8.30am may be disappointed as the tractors start up around then (it is a farm after all) but we didn't mind. You can hire fire pits and buy logs, although we found the logs to be a little damp and smoked a lot. Still got a nice blaze going.
The site shop opens between 8.30 and 9am, and sells basic provisions. It's around 30min walk into Seahouses, although I wouldn't recommend doing it at night as there's no lighting on the country roads and some drivers go very fast. We picked the Curry Leaf for a meal, but can't really recommend it (and we were the only ones in there!) The Indian Brasserie along the High Street was packed, in contrast. There's a Co-Op on the High Street that's open till 10pm.
The crazy golf is quite good fun on the seafront, but Seahouses itself seems to rely mainly on the boat trips out to the islands. We had fantastic burgers for lunch at the Bamburgh Castle Inn, with some good real ales! Bamburgh Castle is only 5min drive away, and is definitely worth seeing.
There's an excellent deli in Bamburgh village and some nice tea rooms. We also drove up to Holy Island and had fun feeding dozens of sparrows on the village green.
Great views from the site of Bamburgh Castle and the Farne Islands. Saw amazing sunset from the site. Facilities were good and clean, and microwave appreciated. No queues for showers and no charge/tokens for good hot showers.
The site is within easy walking distance of Seahouses, which has good facilities. The children's playground was well used, and there was a community atmosphere at the campsite. The campsite should have better signage for pedestrian access. It is set up for directing vehicles round the road entrance, but those on foot should be shown the quick, shortest, route to reception.
The shop is not open in the evenings. The site is on a good bus route to all the main tourist sites along the coast. The bus services should be advertised at the campsite. The walk from Seahouses to the site is not recommended in the dark, even with a torch.
We were allocated a pitch, but the grass was very well worn, and it was right by the road entrance, with no views and suffered from dust from the track from passing cars. We pitched in the unallocated field, which is strongly recommended. It was virtually empty and had lovely views and green grass, and was well away from the road.
I recommend the Ship pub at the Harbour, the crazy golf at Seahouses, The Lodge for excellent food in North Sunderland (closest pub to the campsite), and the boat trips to the Farne Islands, where we saw a Sea Eagle and plenty of seals (too late in the year for the puffins). I recommend Serenity Farne Island boat tours, the guide was excellent, and found us the sea eagle.
Just returned from a weeks stay at Springhill Farm.
Site location is excellent, with lovely views across to the Farne Islands and Bamburgh Castle. It is approx. 1 1/2 miles into the centre of Seahouses, which has a nice harbour and the usual fish & chip shops, plus arcades, and a well stocked co-op.
Site facilities are good, they are kept clean by the wardens, who are very friendly and keen to help.
Pitches are generous in size, and level, at reception you can hire a fire pit and purchase logs, this is a enjoyable addition to the facilities.
For us there were a few bad points to our stay, firstly our pitch (02) was used as a path through to the play area from the residents of the wigwams, adults thought it perfectly acceptable to walk straight through our pitch while we were sitting outside, and obviously their children followed suit.
Do take a boat trip to the Farne Islands, we used Serenty boat trips in Seahouses, who went out of their way to ensure we got good sightings of the seals and a visiting black eagle.
Do go in the Olde Ship Inn in Seahouses, the beer and atmosphere are excellent. If you fancy a takeaway then the Indian Spice House does an excellent curry.
Spent just over a week at this campsite on pitch 12 which is quite secluded and sheltered.
Staff are very friendly and helpful.
The shop had a few basics-- bread, milk, biscuits,tinned food, and sweets, which helped if you didn't want to go to the Seahouses Co-op.
The clothes washing machines and dryers were good.
The use of a microwave was a great idea.
There are 4 sinks for dishwashing with hot water all day/night.
In the gents toilet there are 4 showers with, again, hot water all day/night,4 sinks,but only 2 toilet cubicles which when site is busy were not enough.
The playground was open until 9.30pm which was fine, but straight after that time all the kids/parents descended on the toilet block until about 10.30pm. So maybe best to avoid this time if there are lots of kids about.
There was a bit of noise in the evening from both the Wigwams and the Bunkhouse but it tended to stop just after 11.00pm.
In Seahouses most of the fish and chip shops were good.Wasn't overly impressed with the food at the Bamburgh Castle pub, but The Links Hotel bar food was excellent.
Overall the site and surrounding area is well worth a visit.
We have just returned from a fabulous week at this site.Facilities are excellent. Toilets and showers always spotlessly clean and never had to wait for a shower. Always plenty of hot water too. The owners seem to have thought of everything, freezer and microwave available near washing machines and dryers.
There is also a cylce store and a great drying room, which was really useful for drying towels and wetsuits. We had one of the electric grass pitches surrounded by hedges, which was private and large.
There was some noise one night from the bunkhouse, but the warden soon sorted that out! Generally a very peaceful site. Lots of children and their fun mainly focussed on the play area, where there is plenty of space to fly kites and play games. Our son cried when we left!
The area is spectacular, this was our first visit and we are smitten. Beautiful beaches, great castles and generally a fantastic holiday for all in a very old fashioned kind of way.
This is a gem of a site and I would thoroughly recommend it. There is nothing to criticise.
What a fantastic campsite. Have been all over the uk and I can say this is the best site we have visited in our motorhome. Great facilities, fantastic location and views and a short walk into seahouses which is a lovely little town.
This is a gem of a site, not big with a lovely atmosphere. If you eat out go to the bamburgh castle inn in seahouses. Good food, beer and lovely view.
Never been this far north before but we will be back soon,brilliant for adults and kids alike. On top of that went out for a morning fishing on the boat Guide Me and it was a great mornings fishing, well recommended and the skipper was a right good bloke.
We stayed here on a very windy and rainy August night but had brilliant fun and would recommend it to other campers. The facilities including the play park were great and the toilet block was spotless.
The views were beautiful and we enjoyed visiting the cows in the morning as we awoke very early and didn't want to disturb the other campers.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
We appreciated the microwave since we were unable to light our stove in the windy conditions !
I was at Springhill Farm caravan and campsite a couple of weeks ago and found it to be a very relaxing break, the ground was quite flat which is always helpful if you have a tent and the noise level (minimum) after 11pm was adhered to which I was very grateful for.
I was there with my husband and my daughter, there is a small play area for children which is good and the little shop at the reception area was very useful and not too pricey.
One night the weather was quite bad with high wind and rain, the next morning when people started to use the toilets and showers etc we found that there was no electricity and no hot water in the showers, no wardens seemed to arrive on site that morning until 8.45 am when I informed them of the situation which was then resolved quickly.
Pitch had been allocated on booking but had changed when we arrived, check the board at reception.
Pitch was lovely, plenty of room.
Site was very busy at the week-end, seems to be the sort of place family and friends meet up as there were several big groups. Quietened down on the Sunday. Facilities were good and always clean. Freezer and microwave available for campers to use. Liked the idea of the wigwams and their separate kitchen / dining area.
Staff on site very friendly, full of advice and always helpful.
One of the few places we never used our car for 4 days. Cycled to Bamburgh, Seahouse and Beadnell Bay all on quiet roads or cycle paths, mostly flat and not too strenuous.
Would return and would recommend bunkhouse or wigwams for non campers
We have just returned from a lovely weekend in Northumberland.
There was a mix up with the booking as we thought we had booked but the site had treated it as an enquiry only. A week before we went I thought to double check and was glad I did as we must managed to get a pitch on the overspill pitch.
The site has a spectacular location with views over Bamburgh Castle and the Farne Islands. After being woken at 3.30am by our youngest we had the usual trip to the loo and were rewarded by the most amazing views of the floodlit castle, the light of the lighthouse on the Farne Islands and the sun rise over the horizon. The loo block is situated at the top of some steps and the perfect place to sit and admire the view!
The site has 50 pitches for caravans and tents and they are arranged round a roadway so there is not much privacy. The site is quite open and it feels like the tents are quite cramped and facing onto eachother.
The site also has 5 wigwam type accommodation units and a bunkhouse. The weekend we were there coincided with a loud group of people in the bunkhouse and it is unfortunate that there is a balcony at first floor level. It must have lovely views of the castle and the sea but also projects over the site and as the evening progressed the number of beers consumed increased, so did the noise level. This was made worse by the fact that the group were up high and the way the acoustics worked, there was no way of avoiding them.
Having said that most of the people staying on the site were very friendly and our boys had a great time playing football and cricket on the play area which also had a small playground.
There was a group of boys and before long a full game of cricket was in progress - one of the great things about camping is the way the children mix and play together.
The area is beautiful and we had a lovely day at Bamburgh castle, only 4 miles away.
There was a debate on site about the best fish and chips. We were directed to Lewis's but were disappointed but there are plenty more places to try in Seahouses.
The site owners and wardens were all lovely and friendly and were keen to help out in any way they could. You can hire fire pits for £2 a night and you need them in the Northumberland evenings!
If the pitches could be separated out or made to feel a little more private and the bunkhouse groups were not allowed to be so noisy it is close to being a pretty perfect site.
Spent very enjoyable 9 nights here during June. This part of the UK is always stunning but when matched by an extended period of warm sunny weather it is truly unbeatable.
When booking this campsite I had been very surprised to be asked for £10 per night deposit and the balance six weeks in advance. In over 20 years of caravanning I have never before encountered such an emphasis on the campsite owner getting their cash upfront. However on arrival at the site there were plenty of good points to balance my earlier reservations.
We had an excellent pitch (No 2) very close to the washrooms etc and with marvellous views over towards the Farne Islands and Bamburgh Castle. The Washrooms were modern, regularly cleaned and fully up to the best standards of the CCC. For those that required them there were washing machines, sinks and a family bathroom. This site also offers 5* and 4* self catering facilities, Wigwams and a Bunkhouse so there is no shortage of choice.
The Reception was only open for limited hours and these posted times were not always observed.
Seahouses is an enjoyable 1 mile walk away and the town is much improved from what I remember 20 years or so ago. There are plenty of eating places (Recommend the Restaurant at the Links Hotel for a smarter meal and The Bamburgh Castle Inn for good 'pub grub'). The Bamburgh Castle Inn also has a very nice outside terrace where you can enjoy a coffee (or stronger) overlooking the harbour.
Boat Trips mainly to The Farne Islands are regular every day. I recommend the all day trip to Staple Island and Inner Farne for anyone with an interest in photographing the birds but naturally the breeding season of June / July is best. Billy Shiels Trips are well known and they are very helpful.
We travelled to Berwick for an enjoyable walk round the old city walls but the shopping area was disappointing. Much nicer was Alnwick where a full day can be filled round the Town and Gardens. The Treehouse Restaurant in the gardens is well worth a visit but booking is wise particularly for an evening. Finally in Alnwick don't miss Barter Books, one of the biggest second hand book shops in the country, housed in the old station building.
I am writing this review whilst on our last night at this site. After a great deal of research & reading reviews of all the sites in the local area by my dear wife, we selected Springhill Farm & we were not disappointed. In fact this site is the best in the area & probably one of the finest we have toured. We stayed for 9 nights & it was very windy the day after arrival to the extent that it broke the awning poles, however the very friendly & efficient warden assisted & sorted the problem out with rapid jubilee clips repairs! Thanks very much, I was away scuba diving at the time.
Although fully booked, the very spacious pitches, which are allocated on booking, meant that you didn't feel cramped. Ultra clean toilets & showers with plenty of hot water, although the showers are quite narrow. Pot washing area indoors with microwave & washing & drying machines. Also heated drying room which was great for drying off my dive kit.
Dog walk area in adjacent fields. Surrounding area is fantastic with probably the most natural & unspoilt beaches in the country. Full range of activities in the area from beach walks to castles, sight seeing & of course boat trips to the Farne Islands from Seahouses Harbour. Wide range of chip shops in Seahouses about 30 mins walk & pubs serving great food, some of which are dog friendly.
We are a family of four and have just returned from a lovely weekend at this site.
The facilities were very clean and never full. Under cover dishwashing with a microwave provided for campers.
The kids play area was small but there was plenty room around it for ball games and a goal was provided.
The pitches were very large and flat, giving the site a roomy feel. Wardens patrolled at 11pm reminding people to reduce noise and this was adhered to.
Would definitely return to this site and were only disappointed we were only there for two nights.
