Lovely little break

Davison, Ross - 10/12/2024

Love this site, it was our second time here and it was even better than I remembered. Spacious gravel pitches, well spaced. Heated floors in the showers, and the common room is a lovely touch with a kettle, microwave and vending machines. There’s a Sainsbury’s and a Co-op in Haltwhistle, 5 mins drive away, and lots of lovely walks either straight out from the site, or a short drive away. It was mostly cloudy on the 2 nights we were there but when there was a gap in clouds the stars were amazing, even without any binoculars - and I saw a shooting star, which was awesome! Will definitely return again, don’t let the cold weather put you off, just wrap up warm and enjoy!!

This was our 3rd stay and we will definitely be back again. It’s a beautiful restful site. We stay here when visiting family in North Shields and it’s lovely to come back to at the end of the day. Stunning countryside and gorgeous animals! Facilities are extremely clean and all that we need.

Excellent site

Wilcox, Jacqui - 05/12/2024

We love coming to Herding Hill. The site has well-equipped, clean, modern facilities and has a peaceful relaxing atmosphere. The location is perfect for exploring Hadrian's Wall and for stargazing by a camp fire on a clear night.

Surprisingly comfortable and well equipped

Bailey, Catriona - 30/11/2024

Spent two very pleasant nights at the end of November. Never havong stayed in a pod before we opted for the Castle pods so that we didn't need to use the external facilties, it being likely to be cold and wet etc. The pod was super warm and the bed comfortable with one of the best showers Ive experienced for a long while.The kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need for a short break.Only criticism (and this very minor) ... maybe provide 4 place mats and coasters for those occupying 2 pods as we were - there were 4 knives and forks etc.Also ... neighbouring pod was decorated with Christmas lights which, whilst a lovely idea, wouyld have been alright if they hadn't been on an intermittant mode which included flashing, which went on all night ... pretty annoying when we wanted to enjoy the night sky through the skylight.Would definitely reccommend Herdings Farm though, and the hosts were extremelly friendly and helpful.
