David and Jill go above and beyond to help and to make your stay enjoyable. Cannot recommend enough!

It was really great to meet you all and we hope that you visit us again soon.

Liked: Fabulous site. We were down that way out of necessity but hope to return for a short break in the new year.

Youngest loved the horses and the eldest loved the views.

Thank you to David for being such a warm and welcoming host!

Disliked: Nothing

From the manager: Thanks so much for sharing your feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your very short stay and you are truly sturdy campers as the weather is not so kind at this time of year.

Thanks for staying with us and we hope that you visit again next year when the weather is better and you have more time to explore this lovely part of Northumberland.

Thanks for sharing your great photos too.

Liked: This is the second time we've stayed this month and we love it. The pitches are spacious and well maintained. The kids loved the horses in the field and there is plenty to do near by. The campsite has always been family friendly and quiet which is perfect if you have young children.

The owners David and Jill are the highlight of your stay. You can tell that both are very passionate about ensuring you have a good stay and generally care about their land. Both are around the campsite daily if you need anything. David helped pack up our tent in the rain.

The toilets are always immaculately clean.

Disliked: There was nothing we didn't like. I would just suggest to look at the facilities before you book. If you want a campsite with shower etc then this may not be the place for you. If your happy with a toilet and sink to wash up then this campsite is an amazing option.

From the manager: Thanks so much for sharing your feedback as it's so helpful to other campers when planning a camping trip and to us to help us improve what we offer.

We are located in Northumbrian green belt so we can offer simple camping in a lovely location but it's still important to us to offer our guests have clean facilities, spacious pitches and everything they need to make their stay as comfortable and as relaxing as possible.

It was great to meet you all again and hope you visit us again in the future.

Thanks for sharing the photos of our beautiful trees too:)

Liked: Nice field with wildlife around , very nice walks at the lake , friendly owners

Disliked: We were not able to use our own fire pit

From the manager: Thanks so much for sharing your feedback and we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay.

The walks at the lake are lovely and for sharing the great photos of the squirrels and our horse Dan who often pops over to the fence to say hello.

We are sorry that you could not use your fire pit on this occasion - we do allow guests to bring their own but we have to check that they are the correct height to protect the grass from being scorched. David is always on hand to offer help and we include additional information in our guest information.

Thanks so much for staying with us.

Liked: Absolutely beautiful surroundings directly across from Bolam lake entrance . We were about 40 minutes from home but found ourselves a world away from the hustle and bustle! The facilities were clean. Portaloos did not resemble anything like the ones you find at a festival, they were cleaned morning and night and emptied while we were there. The owners Jill and David we so welcoming and friendly. David came along with apples and plums for us the next day - how kind!

Disliked: The one and only thing I can say - and this is being very picky- the horses are slightly noisey at night. We had pitched right up near them so we could watch them. It was wonderful walking up to the sight of the horses running around early in the morning. This completely outweighs the fact they chat to each other during the night. Who knew horses were night owls :D. This would not stop us from booking again. We are planning our next trip for spring.

So sorry about the disturbance from some of the horses - most of them are older and retired but we will have a team meeting with them to remind them of our campsite rules of quiet time from 10.00pm - 7.00am !! :)

Thanks so much for staying with us and we look forward to meeting you again next year.

Liked: - I loved how friendly and welcoming the owners were (David and Jill).
- I loved that we were surrounded by beautiful horses and trees.
- It was very peaceful.
- David even brought us fresh plumbs and apples from his trees which were yummy!
- Portable toilets were very clean.
- Dish washing area also sparkling clean!
- We would definitely stay here again if choosing to wild camp. We felt safe.
- It is situated across the road from Bolam Lake which is beautiful.

So please do not let this put you off at all! It’s lovely to see how much time and effort the owners put in to the site and keeping it well looked after along with all the guests.
