The Railway Inn

Gostou: Some nice pitches away from pub.

Não gostou: Having to park a 23 ft motorhome on a car park ( MH longer than bay) by entrance and exit. This entrance extremely busy.
We raised this with the management saying we did not expect to be on the car park, which was very small and busy. The management said it would be fine and that they had entertainment on tonight should be a good night.
Myself and my husband decided not to stay the night due to where we were pitched, I felt due to the large amount of traffic it could get bumped.

Gostou: Great location. Site itself clean and tidy. Basic facilities but everything worked. Staff helpful.

Não gostou: Toilets and showers didn't look like they had been cleaned for several weeks. No toilet roll, shower curtains mouldy, toilets and showers filthy. We have stayed at a lot of campsites and this was by far the worst for cleanliness.

Gostou: Great location to explore Northumberland.
Friendly staff on booking in.
Basic but clean facilities.
Good size pitch (the site wasn't full).
Fairly small site so not too busy or noisy.
Friendly horses in the next field!
Good electric hook-up.

Não gostou: Could do with the toilets being checked more frequently - we were there 4 days and there was only one toilet (ladies) with loo roll the whole time.
Outdoor washing up facilities could do with being covered - there was a washing up sink in the ladies toilet block but not in the mens, so if it was raining the girls had to wash up by default!
The trains are very close and fairly frequent, but you soon get used to them and barely notice after a while.

Gostou: Excellent bar and good food in the restaurant

Não gostou: Pitch 17 is a double pitch tucked away in the corner and doesn't get any sunlight.
I requested another pitch as i had a trailer and was granted my request no problem at all, however pitch 20 is a double pitch, which wouldn't be a problem for two motorhomes, however i had to assist a lady to park her caravan before she parked her car at the clubhouse. Not really an issue but worth noting.

Não gostou: Not What We Expected – Avoid if You're Looking for a Peaceful, Family-Friendly Stay

We made the mistake of booking this campsite for a quiet weekend away with the kids, and I honestly wish we’d read between the lines before committing. If you’re after a calm, family-friendly site, steer clear.

The biggest issue was the noise — a theme night at the attached pub turned the entire site into an after-hours party zone. Loud music, shouting, and clearly drunk guests kept going well past 1am. It felt more like a festival campsite than somewhere you’d bring children or hope to relax.

The facilities were another letdown. Basic and dated, they clearly haven’t had a proper upgrade in years. Definitely not what you’d expect if you’re used to better-maintained, more thoughtfully managed sites. And the children’s play area? Tiny, uninspiring, and barely usable — more of a token gesture than a real amenity.

Overall, this campsite might appeal to a certain crowd, but it’s not suited to families or anyone used to a higher standard of camping. We won’t be back, and I’d strongly advise others to think twice before booking.

Gostou: The on site pub, serving nice pub food at reasonable prices. Although close to railway the site was still very peaceful and also has options of pitches well away from the track as informed by the owner, when we arrived. Staff really friendly and helpful. Fairly basic facilities however had everything needed for pitching up with showers, washing up facilities etc and added bonus of water on the pitch.
