Good location within walking distance of Seahouses - 30/40 minutes. Nice big, flat pitches, good facilities block, nice and warm with normal showers (not the dreadful push the button every few seconds) with plenty of hot water, dish washing sinks and washing machines are here as well.
Reasonably clean considering the site was very busy, hairdryer available to use. Unfortunately the dog exercise area is really small and located near the site entrance as is the chemical waste disposal.
The pitch we were allocated backed on to the play area and although there was a high hedge, it was very noisy and the grassed area behind our caravan was used as a rat run from the tent field to the toilet block with children and campers trampling over electric cables.
Springhill Farm is located 1 mile from seahouses and is easy accessible from the A1 via the postcode from their website.
The site itself is very spacious and the pitches are large, the only downside is that some of the pitches flood quite bad if it's raining, this is a known issue and you must ask for a pitch that doesn't flood when booking.
The facilities on site are good with a heated washing up area that also has a washing machine, dryer & freezer for keeping food in (wigwam campers). This block also holds the shower rooms and a easy accessable disabled room with shower & bath. There is also a drying room which is handy for those wet days to dry off your soggy clothes!
The reception has a basic shop for the small things and lots of sweets and juice for the kid's.
There's loads to do in the surrounding area for the whole family and a short walk into seahouses for the attractions and the 3 fish & chip shops. Most of the pubs are dog friendly and welcoming and serve hot and cold food at reasonable prices. You can get a boat trip in the harbour to visit the Farne Islands but this is weather dependent, we didn't do this as it was quite windy on our visit. Bamburgh & Bamburgh castle are a couple of mile up the road and well worth a visit also.
We had a great time over the weekend with lots of fun & good laughs via mobile
Great bits first! The site has very large pitches, larger than some super pitches I’ve been on. Most of the pitches are quite level, we managed to park up and that was it.
Bad bits. The toilets and showers are woefully inadequate. Not enough for the number of pitches, very scruffy and impossible to keep clean due to the state of decoration.
In the gents there wasn't a single coat hook in showers and other areas to hang clothes, towels etc.
The gents had some strange swing doors on the entrance which kids thought it was great fun to be able to run in and out of.
Reception is on the other side of the site to the main entrance, which is permanently open so there was no way to monitor the coming and going of traffic.
The roads and pathways were of a lumpy hard rock surface which was difficult to walk on, even with jelly’s, very uncomfortable.
There was a dog which barked 24/7.
I got the impression it was not a guests dog, but on the farm. Noise can be expected but not all night. I’m a light sleeper so this was a real problem.
We normally use the site in Beadnell Bay, but thought this one was worth a try. I firmly believe that caravans, tents, pods and bunkhouses do not mix as there totally different factions involved.
The area is lovely. Seahouses and Bamburgh are close at hand with Alnwick and Amble just a short drive away. A sea trip to the Farne Islands is not to be missed.
We shan’t be going back to this particular site, but always to the area.
Enjoyed 2 and a half weeks at SpringHill Farm this summer, the site is well managed by a permanent site warden and reception staff.
The site can get busy (we visited at peak season between July/August) but I have to say that everything quietened down by 9pm most nights and the evenings were very peaceful.
You will read various comments on the Toilets, for a site this size I would have expected to see more toilets and showers, just one or two occasions where we had to wait for a shower, and the site staff did a brilliant job checking and cleaning all the way through the morning and day time, but there just isn't enough.
Generally the site is very well kept with friendly helpful staff and its location is perfect for walking/cycling between Seahouses, Bamburgh and the coast line in between.
Wouldn't hesitate to return, but expect a busy well run site at peak season.
Arrived around 2 pm after driving up from Lancs, booked in at reception & pitched up on a hard standing with EHU. Lovely site with Seahouses only a short walk away. They take vans motorhomes and tents. There is a section for pod type accommodation plus a big apartment above the shop ( see website).
In my opinion the male toilets and showers could do with an update they were a bit tatty, I never had to wait though. There are 4 male showers two toilet cubicles and some basins for washing hands plus urinals etc. Can't comment on the female ones.
There's no recycling as the owner has an incinerator and burns everything? There is a bottle bank though.
The lovely beach is around a mile away and further up the coast Bamburgh Castle. Holy island, Berwick upon tweed all worth a visit plus the Farne islands which boat trips run from Seahouses.
There's a CO OP nearby in Seahouses with loads of local shops and two Chip shops.
Not many public foot paths from the site all roads but usually quiet.
Overall a lovely site no plans to do this area again, but if I did I would certainly return.
This was our second stay at Springhill Farm site. Just spent a wonderful three nights there. Well organised site with excellent facilities. Plenty of showers so no queuing in the morning. Large level pitches.
The site was almost full when we visited but felt very comfortable, quiet and peaceful. Lots to do there. Walk into Seahouses in about 20mins and Bamburgh Castle about 30mins.
Gorgeous beaches here which stretch up to Bamburgh Castle and certainly not busy. Very pretty harbour in Seahouses and plenty of coffee shops both there and in Bamburgh. Staff very friendly and helpful.
A definite site to visit and we will be back again very soon.
Easy to access, name & pitch number clearly marked on the board at the reception. No staff around when we arrived but not a problem.
Good sized hardstanding pitch, plenty of space for awning and for two dogs on cork/leads to lounge about.
Good facilities, water warm in the showers - noticeably cooler Saturday morning when the site was busier compared to Thurs/Fri/Sun.
Added bonus Saturday evening as a brass band played a selection of tunes, we have no idea whether this was a regular event or a special occasion. Plenty of talking but not bad at night after 10/11pm.
Close to Seahouses, the beautiful beach is accessible via a quiet road to the sand dunes & free parking on the grass.
Being a working farm you could hear the cows in their sheds - wasn't a problem for me.
Would return and would invite family without caravan/tents who could stay in the wigwam or holiday cottages. Great days out within distance, Bamburgh/ Low Newton by sea/ Craster/ Beadnell/ Farne Island/ Holy Island/ Berwick to name a few.
Good bits. The site pitches are a good size for caravan, awning and car. And very well laid out. Site well located to visit tourist attractions. Although flat, it’s a walkers paradise.
The beaches are also a dog walkers paradise. We didn’t find any restrictions on beaches for dogs, not even the usual May to September banishment. Car parking is dirt cheap or if you looked hard enough, even free. The local people are very friendly and polite.
Bad bits. As other posters have written, given the size of the site and it’s ability to take over 50 + pitches plus 10 wigwam cabins( who did have their own private facilities kept separate) the toilet and shower facilities are seriously under numbers. There is only 1 chemical waste point and 1 grey waste point 100 yds apart.
Whilst here over a bank holiday weekend, ( full pitches ) we only saw 2 members of staff and as previous posters have said, not exactly customer service focused. Only ever saw the male on his lawn mower. I know this site doesn’t like personal criticism, but in all my years caravanning, this guy was by far the worst warden I’ve had the pleasure to meet. Is that his fault or the site owners ?
The site is next to a working farm. 2dogs are kennelled there. And are constantly barking even through the night. Extremely annoying after 4 nights. Owners fault.
We have just returned from a week at Springhill Farm.
It is very conveniently located just outside Seahouses, with a beach about a twenty five minute stroll / five minute drive away.
Getting to the site is far easier using the coast road rather than turning at the A1, which leads you down a fairly long narrow road with no passing places. It's not single track, but I imagine it found get pretty awkward pretty quickly if you're towing!
The site itself mainly caters for caravans and motorhomes, with gravel roads leading to hardstandings with EHU. There are also a handful of camping pods near the reception and toilet block. Tents are mainly located on one field, which has some seasonal hardstandings for caravans at the top end. The field has twenty big pitches and your pitch number is on a board at the reception.
Our tent is huge but it still (just!) fit on the pitch with about a metre to spare.
There is a small play area with two swings and a slide. They say that kids should be supervised, but I never saw a parent there (apart from me the one time I bothered to go over there!) It would be handy if there were a bench or two for parents to sit on.
The toilet block is a few minutes from the camping field. I can't comment on the ladies, but two urinals and two cubicles didn't seem sufficient for the size of the site. There were four showers which were fine, but pretty small. They were always clean and there was always plenty of hot water.
Also in the loo block were four sinks for washing up, a washing machine and dryer (takes old £1 coins) and an iron. Finally, there's a family/ disabled bathroom which I didn't go in, but apparently it has a toilet, shower and a bath.
There's also a CDP and a drying room.
Water taps & bins are located at the toilet block and also at the entrance to the camping field.
So that's the site. Fairly regimented but basically fine.
I didn't see much of the staff (apart from the chap mowing the grass) and when there was an issue with where we should pitch they didn't seem interested in helping and it took three trips to reception to sort - it would have been nice if they had just walked to the field to understand the situation, but they didn't seem that bothered. I tried to ring the warden once to report an issue with a blocked toilet at about 9pm (this meant one working toilet for the gents for the whole site), but the phone wasn't answered, so I had to text. The toilet wasn't unblocked until 10am the next day (I happened to be there - it took two minutes with a plunger).
In conclusion, it's a lovely site, but they don't seem that interested in the customer service aspect, which is a shame as it's the one thing that stands out as being poor.
A well organised and busy site. We had a particular problem whilst staying here with noise from the people staying in the bunkhouse and moved pitch at 3am, but to the credit of the manager the people concerned were spoken to the next morning and asked to leave, which they did.
Our second night was much quieter and more enjoyable. Great location and lovely walk to Seahouses along a quiet road and footpath.
Lots of facilities provided, including books, games, information about local area etc.
Only negative was no drive over motorhome waste disposal as the one provided was inadequate and impossible to use due to its location.
Just returned from our third holiday camping/ caravanning at this gem of a site. Beautifully maintained, lovely large pitches and spotless facilities. Also very good to note that despite other sites raising their prices to the extreme- Springhill Farm continue to offer a fantastic family based value in their prices. Even managed to take my mother for a few nights this time, she stayed in a wigwam and loved it. I've been visiting Bamburgh/ Seahouses for some 45 years now and love the area. Springhill Farm is one of the best campsites I've stayed at and cannot recommend highly enough.
Our first trip to this caravan site and one where we will be returning to. We found our way to reception, even though other drivers on the site weren't adhering to the one way system, to find our name on the board but only having to ask where the pitch was since it was our first time. The pitch in question was huge! The hardstanding with gravel was big enough to accommodate the caravan, awning and car with ease. Water and waste points were pointed out to us by staff, along with the toilet and chemical disposal facilities.
The toilet block was a fair size, however due to lack of indication on the doors of the toilet or shower being engaged did mean that you were constantly having people try the handle of the door, or as I found with on gentleman, that he had been waiting for ten minutes to gain access to a shower only to find that two were empty. Obviously was too polite to go around trying door handles!
The facilities are basic. The showers are tiny, but there was a steady stream of hot water. From what I gather the female facilities were the same, basic but functional, but hey, who goes to a campsite to live in the toilet block!
There is a play park and field with great views out to the Farne Islands in the east and to Bamburgh Castle to the north. Apparently some of the pitches also have similar views, but not where we were, sadly. The play park closes at 9pm and there is total silence by 11pm, but I guess that's down to us having very nice neighbours.
One word of advice, the approach to the site can be a bit tricky, especially if something is coming in the opposite direction, it is not two way traffic. Be prepared to breath in!
So many other reviews will tell you about the activities you can get up to in the area but we recommend having lunch at The Castle Inn, Bamburgh, fish and chips from Neptunes in Seahouses and not forgetting the obligatory cruise out to the Farne Islands (on this occasion we went with Glad Tidings 5). Another great way to spend an hour is at the Grace Darling Museum, also in Bamburgh, with her memorial and family burial plot across the road from the museum.
In summary, watch the approach, keep in mind the one way system on site, marvel at the size of your pitch and have some fun in Northumberland!
