However the outside area for all the chalets was not in good condition and looked very tired and scruffy.

Great value for money. Great peaceful relaxing setting and Great base for exploring the Northumberland regions. Longframglinton is a very small village with limited amenities so you need to stock up on supplies from the larger villages as the londis is quite small but you can get all the basics. The Village Inn is a lovely welcoming pub so became a regular place to visit during our stay. Would definitely return again .
