Liked: Lovely quiet site with hard standing all service pitch.within walking distance of a lovely village pub and good train /bus service to local attractions. Gordon the warden is very friendly and has lots of local knowledge which he is happy to share.
Disliked: The toilets are very basic and inadequate for a site of this size ( only 1 women’s shower and 2 women’s toilets) luckily the site was fairly empty when we stayed - would not want to be here if fully booked.

Liked: Great setting and location, perfect for what we had planned Within easy reach of Hadrian’s Wall and Newcastle. Only an hour from Bambrough Castle We had a spacious fully serviced pitch which functioned perfectly Gordon the warden is an absolute star, friendly, welcoming, helpful and a mine of local knowledge Had a great meal at the White Swan in Ovingham
Disliked: The toilet block!!!!! It’s well past its sell by date (by about 50 years) Everything works and Gordon does his best to keep it clean, but it really is grotty
