Date of Visit: August 2015 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: The Dalys 6 reviews from this member

 A lovely laid-back site with fantastic views of the Northumberland countryside.

The owners were very helpful and approachable, and let us choose our own pitch. We pitched in the far field which was quieter and had the better views though that meant a bit of a walk to the toilet block.

The facilities were clean and had everything we needed.

Wooler is just a few minutes walk and has most things you would need, we can recommend the fish and chips shop. There is a lot to see in the local area, Bamburgh Castle, sandy beaches and Lindisfarne are all just short drive.

All in all a lovely site and a great place to visit even in the wet and windy weather that we experienced.

 Just come back from a week at this site and found the location was one of the best we've ever stayed at. As others have mentioned shops, pubs, cafes etc all within 10 minute walk. Also, next to the site is a walk up the hill to the remains of a stone-age fort for those fit enough! Within easy driving distance are a lot of Northumberland's attractions like Lindisfarne, Alwick etc. Although a bigger site than we normally go to it doesn't feel too big. Could do with a couple more showers/toilets but would definitely recommend this site.

 This was our second trip to this site, and I wasn't disappointed. It has stunning views - especially from the tent field. The toilets and showers do the job and were clean. There is a great new play area and a stream on site and loads of space on the field to run about in. Wooler is pretty and well supplied with food shops and places to eat. We had some fab fish and chips and tried the tapas too. The owners were helpful and pleasant.

Reviewer: Amanda.ferrol 2 reviews from this member

 Very good site. Lovely location not far from village. Facilities good and clean. Busy site but noise was minimum. We enjoyed the walk up humbleton fell. People very friendly and helpful when we asked for any help. Pub food good and atmosphere was good. Shops were okay for short weekend visit but not far from alnwick if you needed. Would definitely use this site again

 Just back from a two night stay here, was meant to be three but the weather forecast was awful for the Monday and the owner was great about us cutting it short a night.

Lovely little campsite with a great price, we had EHU and were on a nice flat pitch with plenty of room between tents. The ducks and geese made a regular walk around and our dog loved watching them. Everyone on site was lovely and good sticking to no noise after 10pm rule.

Toilet block was fine, basic with three showers in the ladies so you could have a bit of a wait. They did get quite messy with grass from the site but that would be difficult to keep on top off. My only complaint was that they seemed to be checked early on Saturday morning but hadn't appeared to be checked again before we left at 12pm on the Sunday and the ladies had all ran out of toilet roll on Saturday evening.

Wooler is about a 10minute walk away, lovely little town with a few cafes and pubs. We went to The Anchor pub which is dog friendly and they were very accommodating with our dog, making sure he had water and even giving him some treats on the Saturday night. We had a lovely breakfast in the Terrace Cafe on Sunday morning after packing up. There is a co op that has a good range and is open to 11pm every day.

Great location for a bit of coastal touring, we visited Bamburgh and Seahouses and would recommend.

 Just came back from a 3 night break at Highburn House campsite and am missing it already. What a fantastic location, its a brilliant site for exploring all that Northumberland has to offer. Firstly must say that this site offers brilliant value for money, the amenities are good had no trouble at all with electric hook up, was brilliant, toilets are adequate maybe an extra hand dryer would help but I think it offers excellent value for money, was very quiet after 10oclock, no problems at all.

Only a 5 to 10 minute walk into Wooler, found the locals extremely friendly, must recommend the terrace café for breakfast (fab you lus)!. Booked a boat trip to the Farne islands from seahouses with serenity cruises, was expensive but you get what you pay for, the guys on the boat were wonderful, would certainly love to do this again. When leaving the weather was awful, tent was soaking but the owner didn't mind us staying a while till we were able to pack up wotta guy! will definitely be coming back to this site again I cant recommend it enough!

Reviewer: V Richardson 1 review from this member

 We were at this site Bank Holiday Weekend and loved it, couple who run it are very friendly, toilets and showers nice and clean, only 10min walk into village that has 3 pubs all of which we could take the dog in, plenty takeaways, couple of coffee shops and we went for a lovely walk at the common, us and the dog will definitely be returning to this site later on in the year

Reviewer: Hoggie66 3 reviews from this member

 Once again this site did not disappoint, love love love this site and its location. Loads of room and lovely and quiet at night. 5 min walk into wooler, people are really friendly too. This was my second visit and will not be my last. Toilet and washing up facilities great, we were only the second tent on the pitch amongst tourers and caravans but did not feel hemmed in at all, pitches are well roomy, their ducks roam free so, you have to be careful when driving off/on to the site though. They love to call into everyone's tents/caravan/tourer every morning. Love it here.

Reviewer: Champedo 1 review from this member

 Love the location 5min walk into Wooler where there are plenty of shops and places to eat, also tourist info. Pitch, quietness after 10pm, however we felt a little disappointed there had been no improvements made to the toilets since our last visit. We found the toilets/shower room let the site down. The toilets were not kept clean and strong smell of urine in the ladies. Not what you expect in the ladies. A toilet brush might have helped and a door mat to stop wet/muddy shoes going onto the tiled floor. It was tricky taking little girl to the toilets given the lack of cleaning. I also feel that the door should not be left open to allow all sorts of creatures to settle in there. Apart from toilets the site is in a great location and pitches are varied. Grass was slightly long. Does have washing facilities etc.

Reviewer: WalkandCamp 9 reviews from this member

 Well worth a visit. Stayed here for 3 nights amidst fab weather.

Good value at £8pn for a single tent. Facilities very good. Hot shower no extra charge. Clean toilets and good wash up area. The site is sloping but flat spots can be found.

The village of Wooler is only 10 minutes walk away. With 4 pubs, Italian and an Indian plus a good chippy. The Bull is the best pub, friendly staff.

Great location for The Cheviot and College Valley, and great walks from Wooler itself.

Reviewer: Lottyj 4 reviews from this member

 WOW ! We found this site to be very friendly and really well maintained with the most Beautiful views from our pitch up top. Well worth a visit. Never had to wait for the loo's or showers and our doggy could sit and watch the bunnies all day long in peace. One thing though, be prepared for a climb for (some) pitches, (ok if you've a 4x4), there are still lots without a climb which I'm sure could've been arranged if asked for. Views magnificent but clutch poorly. Lesson learned, still smiling and we WILL be back soon :-)

Reviewer: Julie bri 5 reviews from this member

 Stayed here 5 nights. Found pitches were hardstand with plenty of room. Toilets and showers kept clean. They said there was a small shop selling milk, newspapers but never saw it. Our pitch was beside a couple of swings for the kids bit annoying when kids were cutting through at back of our caravan to get to themm might be a good idea to move them over in the corner away from pitches, wooler town centre just a 10 min walk away with pubs, take aways and gifts. Would go back if touring in that area again

Reviewer: CHargreaves42 2 reviews from this member

 Excellent site. Showers and toilets cleaned regularly and never had to queue to use them. There’s a laundry on site and a good washing up room.

There’s plenty of space for the kids to run and cycle and some swings and a slide for them, but not so much room to set up a cricket or football game. It’s a big site for them to explore – there’s a massive field for tourers and seasonal pitches and then another large area with statics, but all very safe and comfortable. There are lots of ducks to entertain the children and they wander the site without being a nuisance.

The units are fairly packed in - I would have liked a bit more room around us, but it's a very busy site. Unfortunately, we were right next to two very loud families, who disturbed the otherwise peaceful site most of the day. Everyone else was fine and the site mostly was very quiet from around 10. 00pm. Lots of dogs on site, but all well behaved and never once saw any poo!

The lovely village of Wooler is less than 10 minutes walk with a well stocked Co-op, two excellent local butchers, bakers, cafes, pharmacy and post office.

Also a fantastic Italian called Milan behind the Black Bull pub - make sure you book though – we had to wait an hour on a Tuesday evening! Great Fish & Chips at Foulis - 2 portions will feed 2 adults & 2 children! Disposable BBQs can be bought on site for £3.

Good central site for Alnwick, Scotland and coast (although a bit of a winding drive). Be warned - the ground is very stony in places – we went through quite a few tent pegs!

There are no freezers for your picnic freezer blocks, but the owners will freeze 3 for 60p per day. Maybe the way forward would be to put a couple of small freezers in the information room for everyone’s convenience.

Excellent site – will be back again.

Reviewer: Roger2338 2 reviews from this member

 Spent 4 nights here from 18th. Reception was friendly and effective - 'Go find my husband, he's doing the bins & he'll show you the pitches'. Lovely open site, we chose a site lower down near some trees. A bit too close to the stream and kids play area!

Site was stony, but ok, electric pickup, & close to hygiene block. The best equipped and cleaned block we've seen since pricey French sites. Timed, hot showers, included in price, and lasted too long for me. Cleaned daily, never overwhelmed by users.

Site close to village of Wooler. Handy for a stroll into pub before cooking evening meal or using cafes, pubs, or restaurant in village - Milan.

Close enought to Alnwick, Bamburgh, Scotland - Kelso and Jedburgh. Great stay.
