 This is a nice site, overlooking the sea and in easy reach of Whitley Bay.

Excellent facilities and friendly staff.

We had to leave early due to electrical issues, but not the fault of the site.

Lovely site.

 A stunning location with great views of the St Marys' lighthouse. Nearly all the pitches afford views of the North Sea. Great sea air and very breezy, wonderful to blow out the cobwebs. We used the bus service which was efficient - we even went into Newcastle taking just under one hour.

The site is averaged sized for a Caravan Club Site with around 60 pitches. Motorhome drop point too. No play area which is a bonus for us.

Good dog walking but watch the cliff edges. We shall return!

Managed some great photos of the area - good light!

 This is a lovely site overlooking the coast and St Mary's Lighthouse.

Site staff are really helpful and they keep the site immaculate.

You have to cross grass (on a sloping site) to get to hard standing pitches. We had trouble getting off after heavy rain.

Overall, excellent site!

 This must be one of the best located Caravan Club sites in the UK. Situated overlooking the North sea and St Mary's Lighthouse, it's a lovely spot. The site overall is quite sloping but the majority of hardstandings are 'fairly' level, the toilet & shower facilities are immaculate and the wardens were very friendly. There is a footpath / cycleway running alongside the site which gives easy access to Whitley Bay, Seaton Sluice & Blyth and when the tides out you can access St Mary's Island and watch all of the seals basking on the rocks. There is also a 'strange kind of pub' situated at the site entrance (i'll let you be the judge on that one !) all in all great place and will definitely return.

 We stayed at this so we could visit friends. What a lovely site with stunning views and well located. The facilities are clean and well kept. Although this was our first visit I am sure there will be many more.

Reviewer: Brendanr2004 711 reviews from this member

 Second visit to this lovely site. It's between Whitley Bay and Seaton Sluice and located right on the clifftop so there are excellent views. Great coastal walks, lovely pubs and St Mary's Lighthouse all accessible from the site. Facilities are spotless and staff welcoming. ,

Reviewer: PilgrimPhil 86 reviews from this member

 This was our second stay at Old Hartley. This time it was as a base for us to attend two Rugby World Cup games at St. James Park. We were surrounded by avid New Zealand & Scottish supporters in their hired motorhomes, which was fun!

The site does feel a bit cramped at times but the general slope means that most people will get some sort of coastal view.

Again the wardens were most helpful and, even though they were the “relief” wardens, they were still knowledgeable about the area. All the facilities were what you would expect of a Caravan Club “main” site.

The local bus service was as efficient as before and Haymarket in the city centre was reached in under an hour. There are two providers and, if buying a day return, you must use the same one. I. E. The tickets aren’t interchangeable between bus companies.

When we previously visited we didn’t realise that the NCN 1 cycle route ran right past the site entrance. This then gives access to a mainly traffic free route northwards towards Blyth in amongst the dunes and Whitley Bay & beyond to the south. 


Date of Visit: September 2015 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Mulberrybush 21 reviews from this member

 We had a great few days on this little site, the units are well spaced out and cleverly put at an angle so most units have a sea view. The facilities are a little dated but clean and fine. There is easy access to the coastal path which leads to Seaton Sluice in one direction and Whitley Bay in the other. The site also has a lovely view of St Mary's Island/lighthouse which is accessible via a causeway at low tide. We didn't try the nearest pub the Delavel Arms because it looked a little dingy but we can highly recommend the food at the Kings Arms in Seaton Sluice which is approximately 20 mins walk from site. There is also a gorgeous beach at Seaton Sluice which our dogs loved. There is also a tiny beach near St Mary's Island depending on the tide times. I would say that the site is not very child friendly as there are no play facilities and high cliffs nearby.

Reviewer: Timsinc 13 reviews from this member

 Fantastic sea view and cliff top walks make up for site's drawbacks - only one fresh water tap (a climb to it at busy mh service point) and uneven pitches (levelling blocks a must). It is on a cliff top hill after all. Recommend nearish--by The Alnwick Garden with its huge treehouse/cafe and restaurant. Good for youngsters too.

Reviewer: GrumpyBoaby 58 reviews from this member

 Our second visit here and we love coming back, managed to bag number one pitch this time at the top of the site behind the wall.

Although we had a nice sunny weather, it was cold at night and very windy, gale force at times, lots of nice walks along the coast and out to the lighthouse.

We didn't patronise to local pub so unable to review their meals and prices,

Spotlessly clean, but dated shower block, recycling areas around site.

As mentioned before the motorhome service point is located on the hill on the way out and can block the way out, I have plenty of water hoses and was able to full my water tank from my pitch.

Can be very noisy overhead from landing aircraft, especially if the jets cut the corners on finals.

Really friendly staff, always on hand to help, nice wee basic shop for local eggs, milk. No daily papers.

Look forward to returning
