A pod with a difference- on a still day a room with extra views!!

Peaceful Northumberland site with views over the Tyne Valley
Hadrian’s Wall 10 minutes’ drive; Newcastle 35 minutes
Disposable barbecues welcome; firepits to hire

With a privileged location between the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the south and Northumberland National Park to the north (and easy to access from the A69), Sunniside House is a peaceful site about a mile (15 minutes’ walk) from the small village of Acomb. There are excellent views from nearly every angle here, including far-reaching vistas over the surrounding Tyne Valley and out to the Pennine peaks beyond. Facilities at this simple, rural Northumberland site include a shower, toilets, a washing-up area and a communal fridge; and a limited number of pitches ensures that everyone has sufficient breathing space. You may be able to help the farmers feed the lambs on site (in spring only), or perhaps you’d like to delve into centuries of local history, whether it’s hitting Hadrian’s Wall for rambles along the old Roman frontier (10 minutes’ drive, or a two-mile hike) or checking out the small church of St. Oswald’s in Lee, named after King Oswald of Northumbria, winner of the seventh-century Battle of Heavenfield, which may have taken place at Chollerford (10 minutes), just across the River North Tyne. After your exploration, it’s back to base to freshen up, then off to the popular local pub (about a mile away) for a pint and a home-cooked meal. Disposable barbecues are welcome, if you’d rather eat on site, but they are only allowed in designated areas, while firepits can be rented. Packs of kiln-dried wood, kindling and firelighters are available to buy. Please do not bring your own fuel.

Valley View non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: We had a memorable stay at Sunniside, especially being able to witness 2 lambs being born and a third through the night. We were welcomed by Jim who showed us all the facilities and then met Holly who supplied us with plenty wood for our fire.
Easy to find, clean site, friendly hosts, plenty space for tents/campers.

Valley View non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Very friendly owners, even gave me some top tips on places to visit.
Facilities nice and clean.
Surprisingly good phone reception

Disliked: It’s on a slope, so if busy, you could end up being uncomfortable. I was the first person to arrive, so got the flattest spot.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Donna, thank you. We look forward to seeing you again. Have a lovely Easter

Chris S. Oct 2024

Rooftop or tent box non-electric mixed tent pitch

Liked: The hosts organised the Aurora Borialis to be shining in all it's glory when we arrived - spectacularly timed!
But honestly, the hosts were great. We were going to arrive well after the stated check in time but they were really accommodating and kind about it. They were all very welcoming and the site was lovely and quiet. The shower was hot and fairly spacious. The bins and washing area were well thought out.

Disliked: The shower could have been a little more powerful for my liking. But that is really nit picking for something we disliked. The place was great.

Karen M. Sept 2024

Pennine View non-electric mixed motorhome pitch

Liked: We were greeted by the very friendly and helpful owners, who informed us about everything we needed to know.
Easily accessible campsite, very quiet and peaceful, with lovely views of the surrounding countryside.
We were able to sit outside and enjoy the evening sunshine, watching the sun set.
Great site for the Great North Run. The metro is 25 minutes drive away and it avoids the inflated prices of staying in the town centre.

Disliked: We both wished we could have stayed longer!

From the manager: Thank You so much for your lovely revied please do come back and stay next season. x H&J

Local attractions

A military settlement that later developed into a thriving frontier town, Corbridge Roman Town - Hadrian’s Wall (10 minutes’ drive) is home to the ancient remains of barracks, temples and storage facilities. An on-site museum displays some of the items recovered as part of the Corbridge Hoard, such as delicate figurines. Elegant country mansions in the area include National Trust - Wallington (half an hour), which dates back to the 17th century and is filled with pre-Raphaelite paintings and assorted art objects. Its expansive grounds include vast swathes of woodland crossed by the River Wansbeck. The Discovery Museum in Newcastle (35 minutes) showcases scientific and technological advances made in the region, from Joseph Swan’s first lightbulb to George Stevenson’s steam engine. Stop at Grainger Market to stock up on foodstuffs, then cross the iconic Tyne Bridge to reach the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, housed in a refurbished flour mill.
