Fantastic place to relax. Loads of space to spread out to pitch but also for the kids to play about making up their own games and playing football etc. Toilets are spotless. Susan, the host was just so lovely.

Excellent site in a good location with plenty of flat-ish pitches. Site owner was lovely, very approachable and keen to ensure everyone had a good stay. Area is very quiet from early evening onwards but you're only 5-10 mins from local pubs, shops etc. The only negative is that the facilities are very limited. If you have your own (camper / caravan) that's not a problem or if, like us, you visit in a quiet mid-week, it's fine. However, this would be an inconvenience at busy times and something to be aware of.

Things to do on site and in the Stocksfield area
The nearby area is rich in history with the site even having an old roman road running straight through the field. You can head to Hadrian's Wall to see the forts and museums full of roman history or visit the historic town of Hexham with an abbey dating back to AD674.
For a day at the beach you are within an hour from Tynemouth or Whitley Bay. Both are great for days out with walks along the beach and a dip in the dea. Tynemouth is also home to castle ruins and often has a weekend market.
The Beamish Museum is quirky must see. An open living museum set in the olden days, you can spend your day visiting the old town with a bakery, blacksmiths shop and an old-fashioned sweet shop where you can see them being made!
Other nearby attractions include:
- National Trust - Cherryburn (10 minutes)
- Pow Hill Country Park (15 minutes)
- Gibside (20 minutes)
- Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens (30 minutes)
- Kirkley Hall Zoological Gardens (30 minutes)
