Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Massive field for the kids to run wild in and play ball games. The owners kindly provided us with a longer extension lead than the one we had so we could be further into the field. There were sheep and cows, which the kids loved. It was lovely and quiet in a night with beautiful views. The owners were very friendly, approachable and contactable when needed. Ideal location for visiting Alnwick Castle. Would definitely visit again!

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Beautiful location. Morning greeting from the bullocks in the next field. Wildlife in the area,hares,pheasant, barn owls etc. Water available at the site hook up ,very convenient.

Disliked: Boggy, unlevel pitches ,no lighting (arrived in darkness and torrential rain and rain every day , so perhaps we didn't see the site at it's best.) Bins overflowing and zero contact from the site owners .We understood that they were busy with a new baby but a text or phonecall to check that all was well during atrocious weather conditions would have been nice.

From the manager: Hi Thanks for staying with us. I had sent numerous messages saying get in touch if you had any questions or issues. I had just had surgery so wasn't on site. The site is big and there was only 2 vans staying so there was ample space to have a level pitch and as much space as you needed. IThanks

Fantastic site. Would stay again!

Local attractions

Which way, captain? That’s what the kids might ask – and your answer may very well be the medieval hilltop fortress of Warkworth Castle (25 minutes’ drive), where the Duke of Northumberland once lived, or the 14th-century Dunstanburgh Castle (20 minutes). For good views, head to the Holy Island (40 minutes), a tidal island with an ancient priory. Northumberland National Park's Upper Coquet Valley surrounding the River Coquet (half an hour) is a dream for walks or bike rides, and the same can be said of Breamish Valley’s prehistoric hill forts (around 15 minutes). Further afield, the Kielder Observatory (an hour and a half) may be worth the journey for keen stargazers. Scottish border towns like Kelso (50 minutes) and Hadrian's Wall (50 minutes’ drive) are also within reach.
