What customers say

Great spot near the coast, with super friendly staff and a cracking pub. Pitches are decent and most facilities are clean, though loos/showers are a bit old-fashioned. Beware the odd train rumble.

Jana F.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Not far away from Alnwick Castle and Amber

Disliked The facility was really dirty. The toilet paper was empty. It was really disgusting.
At the arrival there was chaos. No one knew that we were comin. We booked a gras standing pitch, but what we got was a shared place Hard standing.
The railway is really loud but the generator for electricity was louder.
It was to expensive for what we got.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Pleasant enough site, we used it as a base to visit family

Disliked Toilet/ shower block could be better, when we arrived the block was very dirty but it was cleaned later that day, could do with some TLC and a lick of paint.
All week it was like they did the minimum cleaning needed but saying that they were usable.
I think there must have been a problem with the electrics on site as there was a big generator running all week. quite noisy.

Frank K.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked We really liked the location and atmosphere. The Inn was lovely, but as advertised, closed on Monday and Tuesdays. Did get to try an Alnwick golden ale! The railway is busy, but we didn't mind. The facilities could use a tidy up.

Disliked Nothing. We really enjoyed it.

Local attractions

Head east from the pub and you’ll hit the coast with a drive of 10 minutes or so. Once you’re there you can sign up for surf lessons in Amble, look out for birds at Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre or wander through woods to hit the sand dunes at Druridge Bay Country Park. Looking a little further along the coast, there’s a nice long beach and a golf course in Warkworth (10 minutes' drive) and a couple of splendid seafront castles in Dunstanburgh (25 minutes) and Bamburgh (35 minutes). Holy Island (45 minutes) is another lovely place to visit, with lots of wildlife as well as an ancient priory and Lindisfarne Castle – don’t forget, access is via a causeway that’s inaccessible at high tide. Away from the coast, you can take a tour of Alnwick Castle (15 minutes) – a particular treat for Harry Potter fans – or take the kids to meet the animals at Northumberland Zoo (15 minutes). National Trust - Cragside (25 minutes) is a nice place for a gentle wander; for something more challenging, head to the trails of Northumberland National Park (35 minutes).
