Caravan was described as spacious, the lounge area was but the bedrooms were tiny, even the double room. Caravan needs tlc and quite tatty in parts but wouldnt take much to fix up.

Byron
Date of stay: 23rd June 2025

Location is great. Its on the beach but a bit of a climb to get there (down) difficult to take a pram.In terms of facilities the park has the essentials, bar, small indoor pool and entertainment complex.Staff are excellent, all very helpful and nice. The entertainment team are amazing.The only gripe and only a small one at that is that scoops and the on site take away is open really randomly.Wasnt impressed with the on site chippery, very expensive, nothing special and again not open during the week.The food on the boathouse is of excellent quality.Caravans are basic but fit the need, ideal base for exploring Northumberland !
