| Pot-A-Doodle Do Wigwam Village |
Northumberland Wigwam Village at Scremerston near Berwick upon Tweed is the only one of its kind in the area. We are minutes away from stretches of golden sands and spectacular views of Holy Island, The Farne Islands and Bamburgh Castle. We are ideally suited for those who like the great outdoors and want to be at one with nature. Each of our 12 wooden wigwams sleeps up to 5 people. They are all insulated and have electricity giving heat and light. They all have foam mattresses to sleep on and a small table. All you need to bring with you is your normal camping gear minus the tent!
Best bit about the campsite The campsite is right on the beautiful Northumbrian coastline, close to the divine Holy Island. The wigwams are brilliantly set out to capitalise on the surroundings, and they’re comfortably furnished with all the basics you could need. The kitchen and dining room is also perfectly equipped. You can knock up beans on toast or a three course evening meal here with ease.
Ambience
The wigwams are spaced in a horseshoe shape in the field with parking spaces for everyone to park close to their accommodation. There’s plenty of space in front of the wigwams for little ones to run around while you can enjoy a drink on the picnic tables provided. The whole site is sheltered by an earth bank, which protects you from the winds.
Activities
Almost everything you could wish for activity-wise happens from the site itself. You can go quad-bike trekking and take in the stunning scenery of the surrounding Tweed Estuary and Holy Island. The on-site arts and crafts centre also allows you to make personalised pottery, mosaics or work with coloured sand. Cocklawburn beach has great swimming opportunities for all water-babies, and you can pick up some nice shells for your craft projects. The Pot-a-Doodle Do people also own a fishing lake, so anglers take your tackle. Avid walkers can grab an easy-to-read map which lists a number of coastal and countryside walks, all of which finish back at the centre. Finally, there’s Bamburgh Castle, which is breath-takingly perched atop a cliff on the very edge of the North Sea. One of Britain’s finest sights.
Food and drink
There is an onsite restaurant which does a decent breakfast in the morning and full meals at lunchtime.. If you’d prefer to cook yourself, the farm shop has a good stash of essentials including their own Aberdeen Angus beef and home-made ready meals. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, there’s home-baked cakes and dreamy Doddington Dairy ice-cream and drinkers will be pleased to hear the site is fully licensed.
Kids’ stuff
This is a great place for kids to let off steam in the summer. There is a pool table in the kitchen as well as a great playground outside. There’s also an excellent sandy beach just around the corner with crab-infested rock pools.
Unexpected delight
The Scandinavian barbecue hut is a recent, cosy addition .
If the heavens open
Berwick old town is worth a look, where you can find the most complete set of Tudor town walls in Europe, go to the Barracks museum or the Maltings Arts Centre, which provides a lively programme of cinema, theatre and musical events throughout the year. Otherwise, try your hand at pottery on-site and glaze a plate or cup to take home - a great activity to wile away a couple of hours if the weather fails.
