  • Small family-friendly farm site in the Northumberland countryside
  • A 25-minute drive to two beaches and Hadrian's Wall
  • Nature walk around the site; firepits available to hire; pubs nearby
A simple stay surrounded by the Northumberland countryside? Oh, go on then… bed down at Tranwell Farm Glamping, a peaceful family-friendly site 10 miles from the Northumberland coast and five minutes’ drive away from the market town of Morpeth. This off-grid site is a good base for tracing the historic Hadrian’s Wall, roaming around local castles or simply strolling along the sandy Northumberland shoreline (there are two beaches 25 minutes' drive away). It's also won awards for its commitment to sustainable tourism, so you know the team here are doing all they can to make your stay a minimal-impact one. You're likely to get pretty chummy with nature here, as the grassy pitches are surrounded by trees too. If you rise early enough, you may catch sight of a deer if you're lucky. Plus, there’s a leisurely nature walk around the farm for all those who aren’t quite done with wildlife spotting for the morning. Afterwards? You might put your feet up and let the countryside views sink in (and think about doing the same with the clear views of the skies at night). There are firepits available to hire on site, a dishwashing area for guests to take care of any pots and pans and an amenities block for a quick freshen up. When you feel like having a meal out somewhere nice, there are plenty of varied restaurants, pubs and cafés in Morpeth within five minutes’ drive of the site. Budding chefs can gather their ingredients from the food shops five minutes’ drive away too. Please note that this site is entirely non-smoking.

Local attractions

The hiking trails around these parts really do have a lot going for them… ramblers might come back raving about the historic walking route along Hadrian’s Wall (25 minutes’ drive) or the grouse, goats and roe deer that they spotted around Northumberland National Park (35 minutes) Zoos have a greater variety of creatures, whether it’s the farm animals (and tractor rides and playgrounds…) at the Whitehouse Farm Centre (five minutes), the kangaroos and monkeys at Kirkley Hall Zoological Gardens (10 minutes) or the snow leopards and lemurs at Northumberland Country Zoo (20 minutes). Golfers should be able to get into the swing of things at the golf course five minutes’ drive away or the N1 Golf Centre (five minutes) miniature golf and driving range. If rummaging through rockpools is more your cup of tea, next up will be Newbiggin-by-the-Sea beach (25 minutes). Sandy Blyth Beach (25 minutes) is also on hand. As for historic places that bring to life old Northumberland, check out the market town of Morpeth (five minutes’ drive), Newcastle upon Tyne (25 minutes) and Alnwick Castle (half an hour). The latter’s re-enactments and archery activities will really get you feeling like you’ve gone back some centuries.

Rosie camping pod

Liked: Had an excellent stay in one of the pods. It had all the equipment you could possibly want when camping, perfect for a peaceful little get away. The site was clean and the facilities were well maintained. Loved the nature walk and the dog walk too. Highly recommend, we will definitely be back next year!

Hawthorn camping pod

Liked: Lovely site well situated for all the local places to visit, great nearby pubs dog friendly and welcoming, would recommend The plough and sun inn. The facilities at Tranwell farm are immaculate, very clean, and the camping pods have everything you need, well equipped and clean, and some lovely extras (hot choc, marshmallows and biscuits) Sarah and Philip have definitely thought of everything. The camp site has a decent dog walking field, as well as a forest walk which takes you over the sheep field. Sarah was at the site when we first arrived (Use google maps, our sat nav took us the wrong way) and we later met Philip when we mislaid the pod key, and he came out with a spare, A lovely couple very friendly, and live on site so just a phone call away. We are all ready planning our next visit here, and would definitely recommend the site, it has campervan pitches along with flat grass pitches for tents. Its only a small site which makes it lovely and quiet.

Disliked: nothing it was perfect!

Woodside non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The peace and quiet of this campsite is exactly what we needed. The location is stunning and a great base point to explore the surrounding areas. We loved the spaciousness of the pitch and appreciated the gap between each camping pitch as we hate to feel cramped while camping. Perfect ground for tent pegs, we had no issues at all.

The facilities are perfect for a campsite- the toilets and shower were always clean, the freezer in the welcome hut came in very handy and the dog walking field is a lovely touch.

Disliked: Not a dislike but a bit of advice- the lights in the toilets are solar powered so make sure to take a torch with in case.

Woodside non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: I like that you have your own pitch and tall grass between your neighbour. The pitch is nice and big bonus to have a picnic table. The facilities is nice and clean. Family friendly quiet after 10pm. There are a pad lock at the main gate so nice a secure campsite. Have freezer for ice packs and phone charger point. Highly recommend

Disliked: Sink too small in the toilet.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: The peace and quiet. Everyone was very respectful. The the facilities were clean excellent and clean and tidy. A lovely campsite.

Disliked: We didn’t see the owners at all. But I suppose that was the vibe of the place.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, sorry we did not get a chance to chat when you were staying, I had quite a few changeovers on the glamping units so I was kept very busy cleaning them and the showers and toilets as well as the admin and family and animals to look after and Philip has been flat mending things and working hard on the farm. We do try to pop over when we have a spare minute but at this time of year it can be difficult so we do apologise we were not able to meet you, best wishes, Sarah

Hawthorn camping pod

Liked: Very peaceful site. We stayed in a pod which was a good distance from the other glamping pitches and had a nice grassy surround which the dog loved. Pod was comfy with a small wood burner for colder evenings. The TV was an unexpected perk in an off grid pod.

Disliked: Small issue, but the solar lighting in the pod was rather dim. Bring a head torch if you want to read. 10pm is awful early to put out your fire pit, especially when it hasn’t been dark for long. 11pm would be more reasonable, with a caveat of quiet after 10.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, unfortunately the 10pm time limit on Fire pits is a stipulation of our insurance. We are looking at ways to increase the brightness of the 12v lighting in the pods :-)

Nice quiet campsite…
