Guests that stayed at this property said
The property receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'spotlessly clean' and 'well-kept'. This indicates a strong attention to detail in maintaining the property.
The location is frequently described as private and quiet, ideal for exploring Northumberland. However, one review notes the lack of walkable destinations from the site, slightly impacting the score.
While many guests found the property comfortable, there are several mentions of uncomfortable beds and seating, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being described as well-equipped. However, comments about broken play equipment and the need for minor additions like lamps and tables suggest some areas could be enhanced.
Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches such as welcome gifts, although it's important to note that these are subject to change and not guaranteed for every stay.

The location of the caravan, at the end of the row, provides privacy on what is the sunny side of the caravan. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio area listening to and watching the birds. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds comfortable. The site itself seems a bit neglected compared to the next door site. Just cutting the grass would make a big difference. That said we enjoyed our stay.

The campsite we found to be very scruffy . We were very disappointed in the fact that there is nowhere to walk to from the site as it is on the A1, which isn't made clear on booking.

However we found it very uncomfortable. The new settees felt hard to sit on and gave us both back pain. The mattresses on the beds were near the end of their lives as we could feel the springs and could not lie comfortably. Our second visit but not as good as last year.
