Lucky Find on Route

Gott, Mandy - 19/04/2025

Called on spec and managed to get last pitch. Lovely site well set out. The children staying on the site all looked to be enjoying themselves running about on the hills. Nice large pitches with soft screening between each pitch. Lovely clean warm shower block. Good dog area and places to walk dogs. Would definitely stay again when in the area.

Love the animals

Swain, Katherine - 18/04/2025

Beautiful area, friendly and professional staff who dealt with our issue straight away. Sadly you can’t avoid being on a site with people who don’t respect other people’s privacy or private pitch area. But we love the site and will be back as this isn’t their fault.

Couldn’t have been better, loved it

Roberts, Natalie - 17/04/2025

We spent 4 nights in a castle pod at herding hill farm. Before our arrival I had rang up just to check what we needed to bring, we were told everything was included and to bring ourselves and some food. That was not wrong, everything was thought of, including seperate towels for the hot tub. When we arrived we were showed round the pod and how to work the hot tub and any appliances, the customer service was excellent they even hand delivered charcoals to our pod. We visited the mile castle inn for food one night which was excellent, around a 12 minute walk from site. We ordered a delivery from the Haltwhislte Fryery which served pizzas and fish and chips, the food was excellent we had pizzas. We visited the Roman Vindolanda which was ten minutes away which was a great way to spend an afternoon. Hadrians Wall was in walking distance, we walked to the wall and into haltwhistle, perfect!The site is really peaceful and the countryside is so beautiful. We will defini

Beautiful, friendly and quiet

Sadler, Kevin - 17/04/2025

Friendly welcome even though we were a little late. A beautiful site set in stunning countryside with wonderful views and starlit dark skies. Facilities are excellently maintained with nice little touches in shower block like underfoot heating and radio playing. Tv reception and WiFi both very good. Local AD 122 bus stops at the campsite and runs from Hexham railway and bus stations to all major sites on Hadrians Wall. We used it every day and for £25 for 3 day pass it was well worth it. Just a 10 minute , scenic walk away is a lovely pub , the Milecastle Inn , serving great food and local ale. Hexham is well worth a visit , especially on market day , when the town is buzzing. But the main attraction are the views and Wall sites which are spectacular…the only extra thing which would have been useful would be a small bench against the wall of the entrance where you could sit and wait for the bus , especially for people that can’t stand for too long

Sue, Phil & the team are brilliant. Excellent facility which we have used at least 12 times. On each venture, it improves. WE have stayed all over the country including the sister site at Longnor Wood, Buxton....good as that is, Herding Hill is by far the superior site.

A quality site

Jackson, Nigel - 15/04/2025

5

The campsite was neatly laid out with hardstanding for touring vehicles & ehu at each pitch. The facilities were very good with modern clean toilet block boasting underfloor heating. There was a dining/washing up room that had microwave, toaster, kettle & a good selection of information for local walks & activities. There was also a laundry room. The walk into Haltwhistle proved a little longer & involved more climbing than anticipated due to having to avoid the farm at the end of the track.

Lovely stay at herding farm!

Perks, Charlie - 15/04/2025

Lovely site, great location for exploring Hadrians wall and other Roman ruins - enjoyed from kids to adults! Lots of green space to explore on site and even a football goal to keep the kids entertained within sight of the accommodation. Hot tub an added luxury. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 is that the animals weren’t as much of a ‘petting farm’ as the website made out. There was feeding twice a day but not as much of an interactive and get stuck in experience as expected - great for younger kids though!
