What customers say
This immaculately maintained site offers large, level pitches with water and electric hook-ups. Guests praised the friendly and accommodating owners, Beth and her team, and the cleanliness of the facilities, including spotless toilets and washing-up areas. Children enjoyed the new playground, and all visitors appreciated the secure gates and peaceful location, close to Hamsterley Forest. The presence of animals like deer, goats, and a donkey in the adjacent field was a particular highlight. While some found the portable toilet/shower units small, their exceptional cleanliness was consistently noted.

Electric grass pitch
Liked We enjoyed the view and watching the animals in the neighbouring field (deer, goats, donkey and geese)
The whole site was very clean and the facilities were very well kept. (ie. Flushing portaloo toilets with mirrors and sinks, spacious shower blocks and a washing up area even with kitchen rolls)

Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely warm and friendly welcome
Very clean
Plot was spacious allowing privacy. Didn't feel overlooked.
Good for kids, safe secure, play area and the animals in the field next door were a joy. Daughter loved watching them and they even came up to her! (Deers, donkey, goat, geese).
Thank you. We would love to return one day.
Disliked There was nothing to really dislike but info to support other visitors is that they have a small shop but it wasn't open before we had to leave site at 11am. We were hoping we could buy some milk.
Finally there wasn't a lot of room in the shower (type of portashower cubicle) to get dried and changed after, but it was very clean and plenty hot water. We had dry robe and changed in the tent!

AMAZING!!!
Electric grass pitch
Liked Everything! The family who run the site were so friendly & welcoming. The whole site was extremely clean and each pitch is a great size. The toilets are portaloo type cabins but have proper sinks & toilets and are cleaned throughout the day and toilet roll/hand soap etc. replenished regularly and smell so pleasant. The washing up area is lovely and clean and even has clean sponges and washing up liquid available. There is fresh water on each pitch which comes straight from the well as well as an electric outlet which was really handy. Each pitch has a picnic bench and well maintained grass (tent pitch). The site is small & has a one way system for any vehicles which are asked to not move from 8/9pm at night (can’t remember which) to not disturb others which is great if you have kids. The kids play area is a lovely clean and well maintained wooden frame with 2 slides & 3 swings, one of which is an accessible one which is amazing, the play park can only be used between 10am - 9pm to not disturb others. We will 100000% be returning.
