Date of Visit: May 2015 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Louiseg9 1 review from this member

 Just returned from a long BH weekend at Elford Site. What a little Gem :) When we arrived there appeared to be nobody about so we pitched where we wanted, but the owner quickly found us and was very relaxed and accommodating. He was even happy for us to leave the van where it was, so we could go out and make the most of our last day. Lovely clean toilets and facilities and safe for children to play in. The wifi was unpredictable and it was a bit uneven but, this is part of a working farm. It is a basic site and I think the fees reflect this. Will most definitely be going again.

 We have had a great week on a lovely site which is easy to get to from the A1, has great pitches and spotless toilets and shower rooms. The people in charge of the site are excellent and are always asking is there anything we can get or do for you. We will be coming back at some point soon as there are many beautiful places yet to see in Northumberland.

Many thanks again

 We visited in July upon arrival we were shown the site which is to the side of the bungalow where we checked in. The site is very uneven with very few level pitches, we were fortunate to get one that was'nt too bad. We had plenty of room between caravans and we also had an awning. The electric hook up point was just behind the caravan which was great and we had no problems with it tripping off. Free Wi-Fi is available if you can get connected, unfortunately we never did. The toilet block was very clean at all times with 2 showers, 2 sinks and 3 toilets. The washing up area and laundry area are at the back of the toilet block, with new washing machines and tumble dryers which are on meters but not badly priced. Waste disposal and drinking water just in front. The grass was also cut short when we arrived and was cut again whilst we were there. The site was very quiet, but we did go when the children were still in school.

The site is an ideal base for visiting many interesting places such as Berwick on Tweed, Banburgh Castle and just a few minutes drive to Seahouses which has a well stocked Co-op. There is also a petrol station. There are also fantastic beaches all within a few minutes of driving from the site all very dog friendly which was great for us as we have a small puppy.

Our only criticism is the uneven pitches.

 Just had 5 nights at this site. The site has a lot of regulars which the owner stores there caravans and tows them onto pitches for the weekends. On arriving I had to drive around to find a level pitch as the regular caravans had taken up most of them. The site was quite full over the weekend with families and I was expecting a fair bit of noise but not so, kids were well behaved and it went quiet in the evenings. As others have said toilet blocks were new with very spacious showers and very clean. Through the week the site is very peaceful being away from any major roads and nice walks around quiet lanes. The site is central for touring up and down the coast walk out the drive and across the road and you have a great view of Bamburgh Castle, less than a couple of miles and you have Seahouses with 5 fish restaurants and other restaurants as well as a good selection of pubs. A must is a boat trip out to the Farne Islands the birds are amazing.

On the downside is the grass it was about 3 inches long after it had been cut and no grass box, there were clumps of it all over and it got everywhere after wheeling the water butt over it I could not see the butt. The grass did get cut short the day before we left as the owner was going away and it was a lot better (if it was kept short there would be less of a problem). Would I go back there again ? probably.

 I recently spent a week at this site and we had a wonderful time. It is very friendly and welcoming with facilities that have very obviously been upgraded which includes wifi which was an unexpected bonus. The atmosphere is very friendly and informal and the surrounding area magnificent. Overall great value for money and we will be visiting again soon.

Reviewer: Sevans191 1 review from this member

 Had to register and leave a comment about our stay at Elford. Being quite apprehensive about other reviews on here we didn't think we would find much but how wrong! This site has obviously had issues in the past but the owners must have taken this on board. A brand new shower/toilet/laundry block, great spacious environment, and free Wifi. The Wifi was limited so couldn't watch films etc but I suppose this is to be expected on a free facility. The surrounding area is a hive of days out and attractions. The nearest town is Seahouses and is a 'magnet' for tourists, a pleasure to spend the day there. We made a trip to close by Bamburgh Castle and the beach. The cherry on the cake for us was the little lambs in the field next door (being Easter and all!).

A true little gem. Will definitely be back.

 OWNER SPEAKING

In April 2014 we installed a new toilet and shower block for which we have had much praise. We also installed free Wi-Fi throughout the site which is proving to be very popular. The management style is non-intrusive with few rules and restrictions and the prices quoted are all inclusive.

This is a quiet family site and very safe for children.

Reviewer: And dog makes five 4 reviews from this member

 Well located though the road from the A1 is bumpy and windy. Within easy reach of nice sandy beaches and many local attractions.

Site itself is pleasant enough when quiet, HOWEVER, name of site misleading, there was a tent city in the middle of the site for much of our stay, which did increase the noise level, as well as the use of the 'facilities' quite substantially. I can imagine the site may be a bit of a nightmare full. As for the facilities, I can't believe that this bloke gets away with charging what he does, I guess once people arrive and pay up, or worse still pay a deposit in advance, they grin and bear it as we did. The toilets are really grotty and have not seen a good clean for a long time. Showers themselves are new and decent, but the tiles have that pinky orange residue all over them, from months of use with no cleaning. Water goes everywhere as there are no curtains - a godsend really though, given that they wouldn't be cleaned either - and the ancient mop does nothing to deal with the bibical flood left every time anyone has been in the shower. Two loos and one shower per sex on a site of this size is insufficient, yet to top it all the owner has put up signs telling customers to limit the time in the shower to four or five minutes to think of other guests.

As for the chemical disposal, it's slap bang in the middle of the path to the toilet block and consists of a wooden cover where there would usually be a manhole cover plus a standpipe to flush with. Delightful.

I may have taken all this up with the owner, but considering he only turns up to collect payments or tow people's stored caravans onto pitches he's a wee bit hard to get hold of.

Basically this guy is raking it in for very little work - what a shame, this site could easily be really great.

Reviewer: Geowann 5 reviews from this member

 This is a working farm, and I think that the owner should stick to farming, as he is just not interested in the management of this site, about 2/3 miles inland of Seahouses, on arriving the drive through the gate to site has low hanging tree branches which could damage to roof of a motor home, the owners house has a large do not disturb sign on the entrance, the site although very uneven has plenty of EHUs, owners with dogs are allowing dogs to run after balls etc, and I saw dogs mess, they is a old farm building in which the toilets and laundry is situated, the toilets 2 cubicles in men's with a crack in the seat one had no paper and the seats are decorated with stick on transfers not very hygienic, 2 wash basins and only one Mira electric shower without a curtain hence water soaks the drying area, the whole place is in need of some decoration, I was first to visit the toilet early morning to find the ceramic bowls not clean and a splash of blue chemical cleaner was suffice, same with the one urinal, my wife said the ladies was similar and got the same treatment. The laundry and pot cleaner looked good but did not use, but the worst was the Chemical toilet disposal, a drain in the centre of the main pathway with a wooden lid, no privacy no flush and no water just a stand pipe without a hose attachment about a yard away, sorry to say it needs to be brought into this century, I would not go back, pity as it could be made good with a small investment and some management training.
