Liked: We had a lovely stay, the facilities on the site are clean and everything we needed. We didn't go into the family bar or the swimming pool so I can't comment. The site is a short walk into the town which has a few shops and bars. This is our second stay and we will defiantly be back

Liked: Location, friendly, helpful staff at reception, low cost.
Disliked: Black and grey waste disposal needs updating. I have never been so alarmed at a risk of black waste splashback, and the grey waste is a "bucket it from the pitch" arrangement - a right pain when the MoHo is designed for a drive over grille. The weather was bad, but there was a lot of mud around - probably better if the weather is good.

Liked: Hot water in washing up area is free. Man behind the bar was very friendly.
Disliked: Campsite was dirty. Mud was everywhere. You couldn’t walk around without walking through thick mud. Even the roads were covered in it. It was a quagmire. They need to address this issue. The washing up area had two sinks, but only one plug! So only one person could wash up at a time! The taps are set right back against the windows so that when you ran them half the water went in the sink and the other half just ran back and soaked the window frames. Said frames were, obviously, rotten. There was filth and dirt all around the sinks too. The toilet area was dirty. I sat on the toilet and the seat slid to one side. It wasn’t even fixed on properly! The hand driers are useless so I just dried my hands on my clothing. Also, the toilets smelled. The toilet waste area was dirty and depressing. While we were emptying the toilet cassette a cleaner came past. No good morning, no smile, she just pushed past us looking miserable - and very scruffy. We called in to look at the ‘restaurant’. Gosh, what a dire depressing place. Two (!) TVs were on - really loud! I asked the man behind the bar if they stayed on during the evening too, and he said yes. So that was that. We didn’t go there. The menu was the usual rubbish anyway. All geared for families with children. If you don’t have children, don’t bother going. If you do have children, don’t bother going. There are nice campsites out there. Avoid this campsite and find somewhere else. Oh - and the Wi-Fi didn’t work either! It was quicker to just work with 4g.

Liked: Pretty site, clean and very well positioned for local historical sites. Level pitches
Disliked: Chemical disposal was in a small room with a sloped floor. As a small lady I had to overreach and was lucky not to fall in the drain.

Liked: Riverside pitch, good walking area , short walk into Wooler. Staff were great.
Disliked: Only 3 toilets & 3 showers for large touring area which was quite full. Toilet bin not emptied from Friday to Sunday morning at least and it was full with dirty nappy on top.

Liked: Friendly receptionist on arrival. Superb location adjacent to Wooler - walking distance. Heated toilet block.
Disliked: Toilet block tired and in need of updating - old shower cubicles. No hooks to hang clothes or towels by the washbasins or in male toilet cubicles. Recycling area not cleaned and not clearly marked for paper/cardboard and/or Tins. Awful Wi-Fi - did not work at all.
