 Just returned from a week here, Fantastic site!, we were made to feel welcome on arrival, good size pitches, good location plenty of walks by river. The toilet and shower block. This site sets the standard for others to follow! always clean, very hot and high pressure showers, laundry area eggs, milk, bread and cakes available, freezer etc. The owners are on hand and very approachable. A real gem

We had a lovely stay in this clean adult only site. The showers are first class, best I have ever had on a caravan site, hot water, no buttons to press for more water, large shower heads with excellent pressure and underfloor heating. However there are 16 pitches and only 2 showers and 3 toilets with wash hand basins, no separate loo for ladies (which would be appreciated). Perhaps the underused sitting area could be made into a larger shower/loo area. Site is clean and we only saw Patrick on two occasions, once when he was cutting the lawns and once when we paid although we could have contacted them via their home which is on the grounds. One other thing is the waste areas are not signed so we had to guess until we found our way around. The area is lovely and the site is easily accessible with good walks and pleasant towns and villages within a short drive. Good eating places in Berwick upon Tweed and super walk around the walls. Would highly recommend this site to anyone visiting this area.

What a lovely little site this is - upon entering the site there is a board with your pitch number and your name on. Pitches are a generous size with plenty of room for your awning. There are two shower cubicles and three toilets, hairdryer and a hand dryer, the showers are AMAZING! HOT and powerful. There is a laundry room, which we didn't need to use and they provide small provisions such as eggs, bread, milk etc which I thought was a nice touch, there is a price list for these with an 'honesty' box at the side. They also had a range of books, magazines and Dvd's for you to borrow, which again I thought was a nice touch. They do have free wi-fi but cant get connection from your caravan, you have to be in the building where the facilities are to pick signal up but they do have a sofa there should you need to sit and browse your emails etc. Overall this is a lovely, little, quiet site which suited us perfectly and should we ever be up in that neck of the woods again then I would definitely book to stay there. - thank you Patrick & Nina

Wonderful site.
Showers to die for, felt like you had been high pressure hosed down, hot water no matter what time you had shower.
Adult only and small amount of pitches.
Pitches were good size plenty of space for each one.
Water and electric handy for each pitch, waste and chemical points very handy.
Host was good and non intrusive to stay but very friendly when dealing with her.
Over all the location is outstanding for walks beach and centre of Berwick.
Will be back soon enjoyed that much.
Would recommend for a relaxing break of any length well worth the visit.

Just returned from a 2 night stay at this campsite. I would say its one of the best sites we have ever stopped on. There wasn't a barrage of signs and rules, but everyone managed just fine using common sense. The site is quiet and very clean, with a nice layout. If you are looking for a site where there are good walks for the dogs, this is the place to go. Its a brilliant site and we will certainly be returning.
We camped with a tent, whereas most on site were caravans. If using a tent my tip would be to make sure you take rock pegs as we struggled to pitch as the ground was very hard.

Brilliant site, quiet, clean and comfortable. The owners are very friendly and helpful. If you need anything they are there to help but are not laying down the law with signs and rules. Everyone on site were all nice and considerate. As it an adult only site everyone got on with there own thing and it was mainly couples, the peace was heaven. Facilities were great never had to queue for toilets or showers. Brilliant to have a book swopping section and tv.
We went to some lovely places while we were in Berwick its worth going to lindisfarne, Paxton house and walking the walls around Berwick.
Please be aware that you can walk along the river bank to Berwick it's around 7 miles but if you go down the camp side of the river it tapers off to a very narrow path and you have to be extremely careful in one area as it is close to the banking I wouldn't say it's safe for dogs either. If you want to walk the other side of the river go over the bridge towards Paxton house look for a small gate to the right of the bridge. This walk is longer and we struggled a bit to follow the correct path and it took longer but was safer and ok for dogs. We got the taxi back which cost £10 but I felt I didn't want to do either walk back but we are not seasoned walkers and the walks took between 2 to 3 hours.

We have just returned from a 2 week holiday at this site and felt we needed to share our views. This is a wonderful site, well laid out and very quiet, having only 16 pitches. The site is easily accessable from the A1, just follow the brown tourist signs to the Honey Farm, the site is next door. The pitches are a good size, most of them fully serviced with water and waste and it is only a short stroll to the bins, chemical disposal and amenities. The amenity block is housed in a converted out building and consists of a TV room, washing up area with microwave oven, showers (the best we have come across) and toilets. There is also an information area, books/magazines to borrow and necessary items to purchase such as eggs, milk, bread, home made cakes (yum yum), this is not a shop but is run with an honesty box. The owners are friendly and helpful, there is no reception area and don't worry about going to find them to pay they will find you. Overall a fantastic site, and wonderful area to explore.

The site is located close to the Union bridge which crosses the river tweed into Scotland. There is a 2 ton limit on the bridge with bollards at each end allowing cars only.
The site is very peaceful as it is situated in a rural setting away from main roads. The facilities are kept very clean. There are 3 toilets with sinks and there are 2 separate showers. I didn't have to wait to use the toilet or shower.
There are 2 washers and 2 dryers which can be used by inserting money into coin operated slots.
There is not a shop on site but there are eggs, bacon, milk, bread etc located in the facilities block and these are paid for by putting money into a honesty box.
Patrick and Nina will do everything to make your holiday enjoyable.
Hope to return next year

This is a little gem of a site, we have been twice to this park and found it very clean and well looked after. There is washing facilities and a few home made goodies which adds a special touch. It is not far off Berwick, a lovely little town, Seahouses and Bamborough. Will definitely return to this site.

What a beautiful site. We did encounter a problem getting to the site, as we approached from the north and could not get across the actual chainbridge, to reach the site, which was at the other side of the bridge. We had to back track and follow signs for the Honey Farm, which is next door to the site.
Each pitch is serviced with only a short walk to the facilities. The showers are the best we have used and the owners provide everything you could need, washers, dryers, washing up facilities, a small sitting area with books, television and radio. Providing free wi fi is a thoughtful touch. As there is no reception, we had to find the owner to pay, who was very friendly.
As expected on an adult only site, it was very peaceful.

Unusually for us we booked this site back in January (we are normally a bit more last minute). There were only 2 pitches still available which was a bit surprising, but having been to the site we can see why.
Chain Bridge is a small site - only 16 pitches - and many of the people there were 'regulars'. Despite this it wasn't at all cliquey and everyone was very friendly. The owners are very laid back and we hardly saw them during our visit but they are around if you need them. This suited us and wasn't at all a problem, but if you are used to a 'meet and greet' approach you may find it a bit disconcerting. We also liked the lack of signs setting out the 'rules' of the site. It was nice to be treated as an adult and everyone treated the facilities and other campers with respect without being told to do so!
The facilities as a whole are very good with the showers rating as FANTASTIC! The previous reviewers weren't exaggerating! There are only 2 shower cubicles but we'd never had to queue. The pitches are a really generous with water and electric to each and there is a good space between units so you don't feel at all crowded.
The site itself is only 2 miles or so from the A1 but if feels as though it is a world away from the hustle and bustle of a busy road. It does make it a really good base from which to explored the North Northumberland coast and the northern tip of the National Park. Edinburgh was only 45 minutes to the park and ride.
If we had to nit pick this site would be even more perfect if there was a pub within easy walking distance. There are some very good pubs in the area, but a visit involves driving. Also the one area where the signage may need to be improved is in the laundry. We ended up putting our washing through 2 cycles (at double the cost) because the instructions weren't entirely clear.
Overall however this is a really great site. If you are thinking of visiting the area then we would thoroughly recommend it - just make sure you book early!

We recently visited this site after choosing a holiday in Northumberland. Upon arrival our name was on a board at the entrance stating which pitch to set up on, we did not see the owner until the following day as there is no reception area. The site is small and very neat and tidy with a mix of different sized pitches, ours was a smaller one but plenty big enough for our van and awning. There was torrential rain on the second day and the grass part of the pitch was flooded but thankfully drained away quite well. There are some nice touches at the site like the TV room, homemade cakes, small selection on provisions, large showers which are warm and powerful, free wifi. The site is very quiet with little or no noise from the road, it's right next door to the honey farm which is a nice place to visit and the bus cafe is great. There is also a nice pub called the fishers arms in horncliffe which is around 15 mins walk away and the food is good pub grub. My only negative (and it's being picky) is that the communal areas are in need of some tlc, the TV room had unfinished painting and pealing wall paper and the sofas are definitely past their best, a bit of tidying up and it would look fab.

What a gem! Very quiet site with excellent facilities. We had pitch 1 which was next to the road but very large and private with little disturbance from the road except for one night when a noisy party stood outside waiting for a taxi (from the site owner's birthday party). Facilities were around the corner at the far end of the site but not too far. Several 'groups' in various vans at the far end but no disturbance. A great stopover. Berwick is a short drive away and is an idyllic small town. Leave a full day to explore.

18 months ago, I reviewed this as 'a gem' and if anything, it's got even better - you can now buy some food (eggs, milk, bacon, home baking etc) via an honesty box. The site is hard to fault! We recommend walking down to the Union Bridge and across the border to read the fascinating history of this important wee bridge, on a board on the Scottish side. Wouldn't recommend trying to take a motorhome over it though! it's 6ft 6in wide with a right angle bend to start. But Paxton House country park nearby is worth a visit - it's in walking or cycling distance, or drive the long way round past Berwick-upon-Tweed.

Lovely small and popular site which we have waited ages to visit. Definitely need to book in advance!
Owner was friendly and helpful and facilities very good and clean. Showers superb as others have commented. Couldn't get tv reception from our pitch but enjoyed watching Strictly in the wee tv lounge!
Site is very quiet - no noise from passing traffic.
Short drive into Berwick which has usual shops etc. Site is next door to Honey Farm (although a totally separate business). This is well worth a visit and is free. Loved the tea and cakes on the double decker bus and of course bought some of the delicious honey. Super walks nearby so would be ideal for dog owners.
Will look forward to returning to this site and the honey farm next season.
