 Very understanding about my problems when I last booked.

As always lovely big pitches and pleasant site.

A shame the Facilities are not open, but I quite understand, - better safe than sorry.

 The only reason I have given this 9 for facilitates is because the shower and toilet block were still closed.

Considering the rest of the site is immaculate I would expect it to be the same. Grass is lovely, pitches huge,

Site is across the road from the beach, easy walk into either Beadnell or Seahouses and don't forget the new Lazy Cow coffee shop on site. Perfect!

 The site is on a busy working farm in a fantastic location 2 minutes walk to the quiet sandy beach.

This is a adults only site.

We were on the farm site which is all grass with very large pitches.

We knew that facilities were not open which was a disappointment but we were pre informed.

We will be back.

 Great site in wonderful location which we have visited previously.

Disappointed facilities not open and did not see the owners at all during our stay. Think it would have been nice if they had said hello to the site occupants at some stage.

Some pitches flooded… can’t help the weather but I do think it’s time the site invested in some decent drainage to prevent this. Not a lot of rain fell before the flooding was a problem

Working farm so expect animal noise etc… but very loud coming from the barn from 6 in the morning!

I think this site has great potential in view of its location. But the price is high for waterlogged pitches with no facilities.

 Very well kept site run by delightful family. Excellent position for walks and popping to the shops.

Only negative there is no WiFi but that is not too much to worry about!

This year no facilities available but in the past we have used them and they are very clean.

 Booking procedure was quite complex but once we were booked and deposit sent things were more straightforward.

Due to Covid And the fact that this is a large, working farm, there was a longish list of rules and requests that I quite understood were necessary and important but did come across as slightly officious. Unfortunately, I guess because it was a really busy time both with the farm and with campers, we didn’t see the owners at all during our stay. However, possibly due to the rules and requests or just because the campers were all respectful of each other and their hosts, we had no issues during our stay.

In general the pitches on the farm site were large but we were unlucky, getting pitch 22 which is squashed between a wall and a barn, right near the gates which are kept closed for safety reasons but which disturbed our dogs every time someone came or went. The site was full and I Understand that someone had to go on that pitch, but for four nights I was sorry it was us. Also, the gates sing! A low, mournful two note moan as the wind passed over various holes in the metalwork.

The site is ideally placed for access to a long, dog friendly beach, the coastal bike route and Bamburgh, so that was all win-win.

Although a working farm I must say it was extremely tidy. The facilities were closed due to Covid so I couldn’t comment on those. I expect they were good though.

Just one thing, and I am not sure if it was the site or the campers who had got things wrong, but there seemed to be no recycling facilities. All three large bins were in use for non recyclable rubbish.

All in all I would return to this site for its location and efficient management, but I would request a different pitch or to go in the adults only area.

Reviewer: Langsettdave 3 reviews from this member

 With some trepidation with regard to using our on board facilities for 15 nights we arrived and pitched up in the large field on pitch 4- what a pitch size- big enough for 2 units,

I do recommend reading the instructions sent with your booking and posted on the field gate as you can pitch on your pre allocated pitch any which way you choose to avoid wet or worn areas- one or two units hadn't including pitching on another pitch and were asked to move to the correct one which in my opinion was the better one. I think Yorkshire must have traveled here as we were surrounded by folks from Barnsley and Doncaster ( where I was born) including the family who store their unit opposite ours on the farm where we lived until retirement.

All the farm staff/ owners were extremely friendly - but not in your face, I think the only thing missing was some essential info. Such as postcodes for supermarkets/ doctors/vets etc but in this digital age it wasn't absolutely essential,

It is the first time that Shirley has within 24 hours said I will come back to this site. Interestingly The C&CC Teeside DA hold a holiday meet in August here - at £8 pn its an interesting option if you do not need EHU.

The beach is across the road and dunes from the site and was not crowded - the Seahouses end is better for sea sports and like all Northumbria beaches excellent. We spent a lot of time photographing herons going into a heronry in the trees at the widest end of the big field

 Stayed in the walled garden, which has eight flat hard standing pitches. Within the garden is a shower and toilet but there is access to a further two just a few metres away and part of their slightly larger site.

I used the very large entrance to the farm, having checked on Google maps, as this was by far the easiest way in and out. For leaving it gives a better view of the road.

It is about a fifteen minute brisk walk or two minute drive to Seahouses where there is a good Co-Op and lots of good places to eat. A fifteen minute drive away is the joiners Arms and excellent food and service are provided.

Overall would rate this site a good 9/10

 Our second stay at this wonderful site (see review from Aug 2016) and it was even better. Delightful Sue, who runs the camping side of this busy and highly efficient family farm, had rung us a couple of days before we arrived to explain that our allotted pitch and most of the camping field were under water thanks to prolonged, torrential rain.

Would we mind pitching beside the drive? Of course we wouldn't mind. Funnily enough, whilst the impromptu pitch was slightly more exposed, the views to the north and west were fabulous. We were also much closer to the farming action and there was a greater variety of birdlife.

You have to be a member of the C&CC or the CAMC to stay at Annstead. This means that pretty much everyone on site is well versed in camping etiquette, and you also get to ogle some gorgeous setups. There was a beautiful Eriba Touring, some interesting frame tents, a lovely Yellowstone Falls and "someone" - ahem - had a fully loaded Karsten.

The facilities were much as we'd left them three years ago, except that the condensation has been sorted out, and there's a much more generous provision of liquid soap at the washbasins. There's also a wetsuit shower outside, which I don't remember from our last visit, so the drains are less prone to blocking with sand from the nearby beach.

Given that the rain had interrupted the harvest, the farm was a rush of activity as the weather improved - harvesting round the clock, whatever it was they were doing to the sheep, frisky cattle etc. The chickens had had their run shortened to make room for the emergency tent pitches and were pleasingly indignant about it.

The family's patriarch appeared from time to time on an immaculately restored 1960s Massey Ferguson, looking very pleased with it all. What was striking about all this - apart from the sense of 'rightness' you get from a harvest being done properly - was how unflapped they were about managing what on any other campsite would have been a crisis.

It's a ten from Tim.
