We stayed in one of the wooden wigwams on this site and had pretty much the most perfect week of camping ever. The wigwams are great, cool and airy and really comfy.
There is a kitchen and a shower block solely for the 5 wigwams so no queueing and spotlessly, flawlessly clean night and day. The view of the sea from the campsite is fantastic.
I pretty much refuse to camp anywhere that you can't have a campfire, seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of the rules of camping to me - the firepits were fab and no overa nxious bucket-of-water rules to accompany.
The owners were really friendly and relaxed, available any time for the sake of a phone call. It's an incredibly gorgeous part of the coast with lots to see and do, being dive-bombed by nesting terns on Staple Island was fairly amazing. Even on the campsite itself the wildlife was impressive, lots of birds, including owls, hares running past the wigwam late in the evening and my erstwhile companion managed to get hit on the head by a bat while sitting by the campfire!
You can walk into the centre of Seahouses from the campsite in about 20 minutes where you can reward your minimal exertion at several good pubs. Generally this is one of the loveliest campsites we've stayed at, we'd come back again in a heartbeat.
Just got back and can recommend this site. Our pitch was pre-allocated, unfortunately we arrived just as reception was closing but the lady couldn't have been any more helpful.
The bathroom was spotless and had plenty of hot water. We didn't use any of the other facilities as it was only a one night stay.
The site is conveniently situated for a trip to the Farnes from Seahouses and a sunset walk on the beach at Bamburgh.
We went here 12 months ago and had a great time, when we went back this time I was amazed at the improvements that had been made to the site. It just gets better and better, there is now more showers for the men and two washing machines two tumble dryers a microwave and a drying room, there is also a bike store and a little shop and if you want you can now hire a fire pit at £2 per night.
This is a very good place to stay and my grandchildren loved just being able to run around safe, if you like to walk on the beach then this is a lovely place the walk from Seahouses to Bamburgh Castle is just over 3 mile on nice clean sand.
Good campsite this one, we enjoyed a full week there because it really is a good base for exploring most of the Northumberland coast.
The important things were all covered, a clean toilet / shower / wash block that never seemed crowded which could be due to it being a relatively small site with a limited number of pitches. The showers were a wee bit cramped for the taller chap, but the good news is you have total temperature control.
We had some pretty solid periods of rain, despite which there were no signs of standing water anywhere on site. Your pitch is allotted to you before you arrive and isn't enormous, it's enough though and we never felt cramped with other campers.
Dogs are on site and mostly everybody kept to the rule that keeps them on leads. We did have one free-roaming dog urinate on our tent and beg for food from our barbecue, and it didn't seem like it belonged to a visitor. That's about the only negative thing we have to report.
There might be cheaper campsite but all in all ours was a good stay somewhere pleasant, somewhere easy to keep clean and comfortable, and somewhere close to the excellent amenities in Seahouses.
Do remember you really need to book before you go to this one in any of the warm months.
We stayed here for five nights over the bank holiday at the end of May. I booked this site after reading excellent reviews on here, and I'm glad the reviews were so honest!
The site was full with it being school holidays, but you didn't feel overcrowded at all. The pitches were spacious and the warden who directed us to our pitch was very friendly.
The facilities were great. Clean most of the time, with the odd muddy footprints because of some rain, but that's to be expected. There were 4 ladies loo's and 4 showers. Despite the site been full I never had to queue for either.
The family bathroom was a Godsend, and enormous! It contained a bath, a shower, loo and sink. Lots of room for hanging clothes and such, as there was in the Ladies. Unfortunately the loo was not flushing properly in the family bathroom, apparently they were waiting for the plumber but this still wasn't fixed at the end of our stay. This is the only reason I'm giving this site 8/10.
Lots of sinks for washing up, a microwave, and a separate drying room-fantastic.
The surrounding area is beautiful and a favourite of our family. Great views of Bamburgh castle and the Farne Islands from the site, both well worth a visit. Seahouses is a bustling little village with a co-op for essentials, a bakery, and plenty of fish and chip shops!
The Craster Arms in Beadnell (approx 2 miles away) does great, reasonably priced bar meals, and are very family friendly.
Would I return? Definitely!
Would I recommend? Without a doubt! And I am a fair weather camper who misses her home comforts, but this site won me over.
We stayed here in a wooden wigwam and had such a great time it actually inspired us to buy a tent. The staff were extremely helpful and very pleasant. The toilets were spotless and actually caught them getting cleaned at 11.30pm. I want to keep this site a secret as it was such a pleasant place to stay. My daughter 2 1/2 had the best time and keeps asking to go back. The location was great. Shop opened as and when they felt like it but to me that was a good thing as it showed how relaxed the site was. Will definitely be returning except the next time we will be in our tent.
We booked this site originally for the May bank holiday weekend, but we liked it so much we decided to stay longer. Some of the spacious pitches have stunning views of Bamburgh Castle. Toilet and shower blocks were good, cleaned daily, plenty of hot water in the showers.
Seahouses is not far, there are lots of shops, and takeaways on offer. Bamburgh is well worth a visit, as is Holy Island - 2 great days out! On the way to Holy Island its worth stopping off at Beal, The Barn at Beal is a visitor centre with a restaurant serving very good food, a small bird of prey centre is also there. We had a fantastic day,the staff are brilliant!
The Northumberland Coast is amazing and Springhill Farm is the ideal base to see it all, we will be going back there soon!
Lovely campsite, with good-sized, flat pitches, and good facilities. Nice showers and only had to queue if I'd picked an exceptionally busy time (and then not for long), clean toilets, and good washing up and laundry facilities.
There is also a family bathroom with a bath and disabled facilities, which my 3-year-old liked using (not into showers yet) - this was very wet underfoot, but I think they were having problems with it at the time.
My son loved the playground, and as we were able to pick a pitch when booking we chose one of the closest to it so he could go as often as he wanted.
The camping barn type accommodation by the toilet blocks was used for groups, and the group there over the weekend was quite noisy, although not all night to be fair. As this has use of a balcony they all stood out there in the evening and this meant the noise carried.
We had slight issues with the secure bike storage - first they said only self-catering people could use it, then changed their mind, but the key didn't work very well - I was worried that we wouldn't be able to get our bikes out again, and the reception (and shop) is only open very limited hours (although there is an emergency no. To contact the wardens outside these times).
If you like immaculate grass, then this is a good site for you - the wardens did go round mowing each pitch as soon as an occupant had left.
The sea is in view from the campsite, and also Bamburgh castle. Both are a short bike ride away, but not really walking distance if you have a toddler or can't walk far. He did walk to Seahouses once (this is along an old railway line), but we had to carry him back.
We stayed here on the last weekend of September (September weekend holiday in Glasgow).
This is a lovely site. Spacious pitches, perfect ground conditions, lovely view over surrounding countryside, Bamburgh Castle and the sea.
The toilets were clean and spacious. The water was piping hot and the showers were fantastic - adjustable temperature, spacious, plenty pegs. There's a wee kitchen area with sinks, microwave, freezer, washing machines, ironing board / iron, seating and info' about the area. The facilities are in a converted barn and come off a corridor and so a good sheltered arrangement for windy or wet weather. There is also a family bathroom / disabled with a shower, toilet and bath! Oh, also a free hairdryer in the ladies! Plenty soap, paper towels and toilet roll.
There's a good play area for the kids and a football goal. Plenty space for the kids to play.
It's a working farm and there are cows and sheep in the next field but we didn't hear a peep out of them the whole time! The quietest cows and sheep I've come across - or maybe just a quiet time of year! You can buy eggs.
I e-mailed to book the night before we left and received a reply straight away and we were allocated 'pitch 24'. A bit unsure about this system at first because we usually go to a free-pitch kind of site. However, they have this arrangement, I guess, so that they don't have to be on campsite duty all the time (working farm as I said). It turned out that we had the best (in our opinion) pitch on the site. In the corner overlooking the castle (floodlit at night) and the sea. So idyllic. We didn't see the owners until the next day but this trusting/easy-going attitude suited us. We paid £14p.N.For 2 adults and 2 kids.
The 'front' field that we were on also had hard-standing for caravans and motor-homes. The 'back' field was tenting (grass) only as far as we could see. Possibly more sheltered too as it's supposed to be a windy site at times. We were lucky with blue skies, slight to strong breeze, and the most amazing starry skies. There's no lighting on the site and being far from any big cities the clear night sky was incredible. The owners are growing more trees around each pitch and there is a lovely rockery in the middle of the site.
We walked to the beach - about 1+1/2 miles on the road (quicker if you cut through fields) - and the town - about 1mile and another mile right to the harbour. So, we didn't need the car. The site is surrounded by beautiful, almost traffic-free, hedgerow lanes, making it easy for families to wander around. Infact, a great stop-off site for cyclists, hikers and even those on horse-back! Many stables around and horse-riding on the beach.
Seahouses is very nice. There's a crazy-golf course and indoor play centre for kids. Lots of pubs and restaurants. Little interesting shops and lovely houses. Bamburgh is very pretty and the castle is impressive. Lots to do in the area and a good spot for a summer holiday, I imagine.
I give all my sites high scores (because they are carefully chosen!). This one gets a '9' because it's perfect apart from no fire-pits. (Though they do seem quite relaxed about the 'style' of BBQ that you can have!) A really lovely place. We hope to return some time. The owners have created a really great campsite in a perfect spot.
This is an OK site - good clean toilets and good proximity to Seahouses - I just never felt a great connection with this place - maybe we were unlucky with deep sea mist but we have camped in similar and not felt such desolation.
It is an easy cycle into town of around 10 minutes and there are plenty of pubs to keep you warm.
Stayed three nights over the first May bank holiday. The site is large and well organised. Bit level pitches with bins and water taps all over.
Showers clean and plentiful. I did comment at the time it was the best shower I had ever had in my life. So powerful and hot.
The site's a bit windy so don't forget your wind break but that's just because it is on the east coast and not far from the sea. The site does have trees and bushes at the edges to combat the wind.
The area is perfect. So beautiful and unspoilt and the nearby castle bamburgh, was magnificent.
Well having spent most of the summer holidays at Springhill, I can now say that this site is probably the best-run, nicest, most well-organised site I have stayed on for a very long time.
The owners are delightful people, and always on hand should you have a problem.
The facilities are excellent, and kept beautifully clean. The lady who cleans (every day I might add!)is a mine of local information and always ready to pass this on. The showers are hot and fast, the toilets spotlessly clean and the family bathroom is fantastic.
The local shops, pubs and restaurants are fabulous, and throughout August there has been a funfair just outside Seahouses on Beadnell Road, that my children have had hours of fun at.
As for local attractions, there's a castle on every corner, historic market towns in every direction, beautiful walking and cycling, riding on the beach or just the peace and quiet of the amazing sandy dunes that fringe the coast for miles and miles.
The views are to die for, and the beaches are mind-numbingly beautiful.
The only thing that puzzles me is why the beaches are not packed with tourists. Dont get me wrong, I am glad they aren't, but I can't understand why.
The facilities are very good and the pitch size are big.
The toilets are clean and the showers are hot and all free and the kitchen area is also well equipped with micro-wave and fridge.
Lots to see and do around the area. The ship pub is only a short walk into seahouses good beer and other shops to stock up at, and you must try the fish and chips,
There is a small play area on the site for children and dogs are also allowed on site .
In the shower block there is a large notice board with loads of info for things to see and do.
I would like to keep this site a secret. We stayed four nights at the end of June and would have stayed longer had time permitted. A really excellent site with a sea view to die for. Large, well kept, level pitches with 16amp, some hardstanding , additional huge activity field for the kids or for 'sad' adults with a kite to fly on the breeze. Modern power shower and toilet facilities clean and well maintained. Easy access to the beach (about a mile flat walk), Seahouses (closed after six), Bamburgh Castle, Alnwick Gardens and Castle etc. Some great little villages nearby with good local eating. Recommend the Apple at Lucker. A working farm, but apart from the cattle in the next field you would never know it. Abundant wildlife, we will definitely use the site again.
