Perfect place for exploring Hadrian's Wall

Nice site with lots to do for kids

Willis, John - 14/08/2026

We really enjoyed our stay at Herding Hill Farm. The staff were excellent throughout, very friendly and welcoming, and the animal petting was a lovely touch, particularly for children.The toilet and shower block was clean, modern and well maintained, although the facilities felt a little limited for the number of guests when the site was busy.Our pitch was large, level and gave us plenty of space. There isn't much privacy between pitches though, so it can feel quite open.The site is advertised as quiet, but during our stay a group of 5–6 preteens were running around and regularly going in and out of the toilet block during the evening. Things settled down around 10:30pm and it was peaceful afterwards. Ultimately, that's down to the parents rather than the site, although a little more monitoring would be welcome given the quiet-site policy.Overall, a very well-kept site with excellent staff, good-sized pitches and lovely facilities. The animals are a real bonus.

What a beautiful site

Dobson, Cerinna - 13/08/2026

5

The site was beautifully kept. It was clean, well spaced out. The facilities were brilliant. The kids loved the freedom and the hot tub. Nothing was a problem with the staff at Herding hill. I asked a staff member how I would go about getting our hot tub refilled and the gentleman said he would do it right away, this was sorted within 15 minutes. We went ro the animal feeding and rhe kids had questions about the animals, their names etc and the staff were keen to have the kids involved and answer any questions. We would 100% return to the site. We would 100% recommend this site to others. What a lovely weekend we had.

Lovely located site

Robinson, Kayman - 13/08/2026

We had a lovely stay at Herding Hill Farm in a beautiful, cosy location. We liked its small, intimate feel and that facilities are always close by.The main downside was how busy it felt, especially the single shower/toilet block, which led to queues at peak times.We were also disappointed with night noise; despite a 10pm quiet rule, children were running around until midnight. We understand it’s family-friendly, but better enforcement would help.Overall, a lovely, well-located site with a lot going for it, but improved facility management and quieter nights would enhance the experience.

Beautiful, peaceful site. Facilities spotlessly clean

Rogers, Carole - 10/08/2026

5

We love this site and have been in previous years with a caravan.This time as there a family of 4 of us we stayed in the wigwam with hot tub.We had a great time. The views are stunning and it is a quiet, peaceful site. The facilities are spotlessly clean.The only gripe was the 3pm check in and 10am checkout. We stayed for two nights só had the benefit of one full day. Otherwise I would imagine feeling short changed if just there for one night.

Great place

Love, Nicolle - 07/08/2026

I was there for 3 nights in the running water wigwam with hot tub, the park is clean and tidy. Staff are very friendly, brilliant place for children, my kids went and help feed the animals, they offer this twice per day free. Very peacefull place. The wigwam was nice a cozy all we needed was there, we got the bbq and wood burner which was great. The added hottub was also nice but felt the temp was slightly to cold. We explored around the area the town was very nice and people polite, went to see some hadrian wall which was 5 min drive from the campsite, had a lovely lake to sit and have an ice cream. I would definitely be back and would recommend this place.

Great camping spot

Verrill, Lindsay - 06/08/2026

Staff are excellent and professional, friendly and family oriented. Pizza night was a great hit and were fantastic. A little pop up van for the weekend would be a good hit as there isn’t any local bars nearby and that would be a good thing to add to the site.
