forget me not country park longhorsley in Northumberland

We love this place, beautiful venue, fabulous service, friendly atmosphere and amazing food. Thursday is bingo night and it’s a lot of fun, great acts on the weekend and wonderful carvery on Sunday, perfect place to spend time with family and friends

We stumbled upon this place after a photo shoot we’d been doing at Simonside and thought it looked nice. Inside it’s very clean, comfortable and modern, we were slightly taken by surprise when we asked about food and we were told that they don’t start serving food until 5pm, this was on a Sunday afternoon and we thought that it was a total missed opportunity as if they did a Sunday carvery people would be travelling from far and wide to have it as I can imagine the food being nice here. What place describing itself as a bar and grill doesn’t serve food until 5pm!? I was personally also taken aback when we arrived and me being 7 and a half months pregnant I asked for a coffee and the barmaid said, “is it decaf?” I said, “well no I’d like caffeine” and the facial expression was a bit of a smirk and looking down at me, I felt judged for being heavily pregnant and asking for a non decaf coffee which is totally my choice. The coffee was so mild and weak that I felt she had given me decaf despite me saying caffeinated. My friend asked if they did bar snacks (maybe the barmaid thought she meant hot snacks) and she replied no but when my friend looked over the bar they had crisps and nuts so we asked if we could have some. Overall a lovely pub in a lovely setting but slightly judgemental and odd behaviour from a member of staff which for me was a little off putting. We’re unsure if we’ll be back but it’s a nice place to stop if you’re travelling back from a walk nearby.

Great carvery, lovely & hot, good range of meats & veg, friendly staff & good value for money. Would definitely go back.

This is an excellent bar with great food and friendly staff. It has an ‘adults only’ section with log burner and settees if that’s what you like but they also have a larger area with a small stage for acts and an enclosed soft play area for kids. The doors at the back lead out to a great playground for kids. Attached to their static caravan park they have acts on most ‘holiday time’Saturday evenings and do lots of charity raising with things like bingo etc. There is also a pool table. Always very keen and tidy and the toilets are kept to a high standard. Sunday lunch is a carvery that we love!

Having read some good reviews we decided to pay a visit. It is well off the beaten track, very new looking, and was outwardly clean and tidy. It had a large seating area, a kid zone, an outside play area and a pool table (more later for this). The staff, two young men were very pleasant and polite. The menu was quite good, with loads of choices. We ordered bake potato for the two children and a Balti Chicken and Chicken Sizzler. The food arrived in a good time, the place was not busy. The baked potato, beans and cheese were very good but the chicken meals were very bland. The chicken did not contain any of the spices it should have been cooked in, I think it may have been microwave from frozen and dropped into the sauce. It was as if it was prepared with a "blander". Very disappointing as it promised so much more. The sticky toffee pudding, also microwave looking, was very enjoyable. The pool table, £10 deposit per cue and a cost of 70p per game was shocking and unusual. They must have a lot of thievery in the pubs with pool table setups here. Quite a disappointment to be truthful.

Certainly clean, warm and welcoming Be aware they don't take cash Food was fresh and warm, drinks are expensive over£10 for 2 pints

Wasted Journey, rang before we left home to check what the timings were for a Sunday roast. We were told we could arrive until 15.00 and that they were serving until this time. We arrived 13.30 and put our 2 adult meal orders in for the carvery to be then told they had a group booking and they needed to keep the rest of the food for the booking, when I explained I rang to check on the way here they said the booking communication had not been past on to the person who answered the phone.

Friendly staff,good grub nice atmosphere,sunday lunch is good and plenty of choice,nice and clean 5 star

I never knew of the existence of this place until staying at cottages nearby and passing whilst out walking. Since then we have been several times for meals and enjoyed each time. Dont be tempted to get a starter as you will struggle to complete your main course as the portions are huge but absolutely delicious.

Just wanted to say we live locally and visit the bar regularly with the occasional meal. We have never been in such a clean and attractive pub, it’s spotless, the staff are super friendly, the food is good value and tastes great. This is exactly how a perfect pub should be! Well done

We visited while staying at the caravan park, the bar and restaurant area are all beautifully decorated and furnished We had chicken Tikka with rice, chips and nann bread and burger with all the trimmings, both meals were beautiful. Staff were friendly and polite

Visit here every year, amazing food, amazing staff. Our daughter had her 2nd birthday here this year and the staff at the Prince William bar made her birthday so special. Food is absolutely amazing, definitely recommend the haddock! Thank you to all of the staff.

I've been meaning to write this review for a long time. This place is brilliant, the food is very reasonably priced and more importantly delicious. Sunday lunches are amazing and the fish cakes are divine. Staff are friendly and helpful. Covid 19 safety measures being followed and plenty of space for keeping a distance from others.

Fabulous Sunday lunch with all the family Food is fantastic, staff are very friendly, nothing is to much bother Lovely atmosphere, very child friendly

Like I said in an earlier review . This clubhouse is fantastic . The only downside was the lack of entertainment. Restaurant was excellent staff were fantastic especially Sonia. With more entertainment this place would be heaving every night. Would go back.

The play park is great fun, clean, well maintained and the staff were lovely and helpful. The venue is very welcoming, the food was ok and we were very happy that they let us have a small portion from the main menu for our little one as the children's menu was very limited in options of a healthy choice. At the end of our visit we realised that the smoking area was the play park which was a huge disappointment, as there is an adults only bar/lounge I'm sure there would be a way to put the smoking area away from the play park .

We’ve visited this park since 2016 and fell in love with it straight away. After visiting a few others first we found this was the site for us 👍🏼 We’re into our third year seasonal now and looking forward to making more memories at Forget me not. The staff and maintenance team all do a fantastic job in keeping the park up to date and very clean and tidy. All the seasonal pitch owners are lovely and all look out for each other in time of need, it really is like one big family onsite. My son has plenty of friends on the park and also friends who return time and time again touring and they all love it. Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else 😎

My wife and I had Sunday Carvery at the Prince William Bar and Grill, both of us had the roast beef which was beautiful. There was a very good selection of vegetables and served with a lovely tasting gravy. Five Star !!!

Having a 3 nights stay at Forget Me Not.Lovely clean site. Had a meal in the Prince William Pub, beautiful homemade food, generous portions, lovely clean restaurant, toilets very impressive and the staff very friendly and helpful especially Jacqui. Free WiFi which is a bonus if you need it.

Had a fabulous steak once again! They changed the chips for jacket potato and salad!! The salad was very fresh and the jacket potato was lovely. My dad had the fish and chips and thoroughly enjoyed that dish too! We will be back!!

My wife and i are staying for a few days in my brothers caravan. I'm amazed how clean, neat and tidy the site is.The new owners have done a grand job. We were in the Bar last night and were very happy with the service by the professional and friendly service by the staff.There are two Bars, one is adults only. It's tastefully decorated with a large wood burner and Chesterfield sofa's. I think the best way to price the tasty food menu is simply to ad a £ on to usual pub grub prices. This site is well worth a visit.

We first came on to forget me not February 2017 with our tourer and sited it on a seasonal pitch we loved it that much in October 2017 we purchased a static caravan and now enjoying our 2nd year.The park is immaculate,fantastic play park for your little cherub while you enjoy a drink and the piece and quiet great adults only bar and a fantastic family room that has free entertainment on weekends.The staff from the reception to maintenance to bar staff and cleaners always go above and beyond with any assistance and help you need.My Daughters and thier children also visit often for free holidays courtesy of man and dad lol.Looking forward to many more years here making memories.

Great quiet park, shower block is immaculate, nice and warm, with hairdryers. if it had shop on site and swimming pool it would be fantastic park. U get free wifi on this park which is great, it's Very clean and looked after.

Had a great time at forget me not.

Starting to settle into this new local. This holiday home park based bar has been built to a lovely standard.

Great looking restaurant at the holiday park, we’ve eaten here before and it’s nice pub grub. After sampling the rib eye, which I ordered to be medium rare I was so disappointed. It was a nice cut of meat that was terribly over cooked.

Great place to visit beautiful walks caravan park exellent peaceful surroundings touring pitchers fab staff friendly and service great and the cherry on the cake they have a beautiful bar and grill . Selling fabulous food .would I go back definitely not far from Anwick and morphuth .

I have eaten here a few times and today I tried the rump steak for the first time. It was cooked to perfection. The menu has just been updated and it is fabulous!

Second time staying here with tourer. Easy to book and check in a breeze. Quiet time of the year so not really busy, clean, immaculate toilet facilities and well manicured pitches. Only gripe was pitch 14 is quite away from the “services” and thankfully the ehu reached but the water pipe did not. It would be a suggestion to paint up the hump to the entrance of touring pitch as twice I stumbled forgetting it was there. Adequately lit, just a reminder to lift your feet a bit higher. Would return. Highly recommended and the bar/grill had the same staff and just as nice as our previous visit.

This is a lovely place to stay. We tour a lot and have stayed here before so we knew what to expect. Facilities are good, nice and clean and everything worked. Water and waste are on the pitch along with 16 amp electric hook up. It is a bit of a walk to get into the village for the pub but guess what? There is a bar on site and it serves good food and a good variety of drink and all reasonably priced. We shall return.

Came here with my partner & stayed in my Aunty & Uncle’s Caravan. The site is lovely & clean & the club house is great really nicely decorated & a separate adults only area. The staff were lovely especially Alex.

I came here with my wife and 2 of my grandkids on 26th June 2017, I was actually trying to get booked into one of McGuires at East Ord but they were working on the bar restaurant and it only opens at the weekends at...

We stayed here over the bank holiday weekend. The park is mainly made up of static caravans and 2 touring areas. 1 been for seasonal tourers and one for the occasional visitors. The park is very clean and well kept, shower block nice and warm...

Another great weekend weather was great ,fantastic site ,family friendly ,Park open 9am till 9pm football field and large play area.Pub on site serves lovely food untill 9pm then there is entertainment on .Toilet and showers are very clean,there is a family wash room which...

Muchos de nosotros fuimos tres en mototrhomes y una caravana para semana santa. Fue estupendo para los nietos como nos aparcamos justo al lado del parque para ellos. Apenas visto desde las 9 de la mañana hasta las 9 de la noche. Es seguro para ellos como casas con sólo una puerta de entrada y salida. Es un sitio muy bien cuidado y ia siempre en obras. El único inconveniente fue la recepción de la televisión. Allí hicimos, no ver la televisión, así que no fue mucho el fracaso. Comimos en el restaurante una vez y me pareció valor astutos y agradables comidas con la opciones de cerveza también es buena. Sin duda volver por un par de noches tranquilas.

Llamado a comer fue recibido con gran entusiasmo del personal. La comida era muy buena, tenía gambas (que me ofrecieron en una pequeña o gran porción), que apreciamos mucho ya que soy un pequeño comensal. Mi marido tenía una baguette que venía con patatas fritas caseras y ensalada frescos y lateral. El precio era muy razonable.

Gran Domingo carvary lugar muy agradable para visitar que siempre han querido probar, y no nos decepcionó recomiendo ir

Decisión de último minuto para reservar este sitio caravana como abierto todo el año, pasó por antes y siempre quería probar la furia del sitio. Consta principalmente de estática y la temporada, pero un pequeño tourers agradable para tourers. Bastante fácil de acceso especialmente para aquellos preocupados o inexpertos sobre caminos rurales, etc. Puedes imaginarte el parque ha ocupado con las familias. Zona de juegos para los niños un montón de aparatos de aspecto genial. Me gustó la idea de una zona de campo contiguo jugar. Todo cercado y en la parte trasera del pub. Visitar campos de tamaño generoso, práctico tener residuos de color gris y el punto de agua junto a la brea, compartido con otro campo. No ir al pub para disfrutar de una comida o bebida, como un perrito. Tenía una nariz alrededor aunque, asados de domingo parecía zona popular y no lucen atractivos. Me gustó la idea de una zona sólo para adultos. Instalaciones de lavandería en el lugar, lo que es práctico. Wc cuadra limpia y caliente. No debería tener que pagar por el secador de pelo. Noté que había un trapeador y balde junto a las duchas pero no detergente en todo el fin de tan incapaz de fregar ducha después de uso. La ducha no es el mejor. Tienes que tratar de mantener constantemente el botón y la alcachofa de la ducha no distribuir agua uniformemente. Noté que había caca de perros en las zonas alrededor del parque. Inexcusable como había contenedores de caca de perros situado alrededor de la web. Este es irresponsable los dueños de perros y personal no debería facilitar con recoger excrementos. Hubiera sido útil a la llegada para tener un mapa de sitio a la llegada con más información básica de la hoja de plástico dado. I. e mostrando park, los derechos del público de/paseos. Un agradable parque decente, y volveré de nuevo con la caravana. Le daría 3 1 / 2 de 5. Gran lugar para familias con niños. Personal en el pub estaban dispuestos a facilitar un servicio de llevar al asador el domingo y era servicial.

Acabo de pasar un fin de semana largo en nuestras caravanas no me olvidéis en el parque. Caravanners! Usted no será decepcionado. Ubicación ideal para un montón de actividades y turismo en Northumberland. Fácil acceso a la web. Muy bien cuidado parque, con unas instalaciones que son excepcionalmente limpias. Todo el mundo debe visitar el bar restaurante Prince William y en el lugar perfecto para familias y también tiene un bar y restaurante sólo para adultos. Comida fantástica, bien presentado, con un precio razonable y un buen ambiente.

We have just sited our caravan up here for the season. We love how clean and family friendly the site is. They often have great evening events for the whole family in the 1st class Prince William bar and grill. The food is exceptional and great value for money. They have a soft play area for the children also an out side park which can be seen from the family room in the bar. If it's peace your after you can use the over 18s part of the bar. They have thought of everything so happy to have finally got our pitch. You can also have short stays on the tourist part of the site. The toilets and showers are spotless as well as the family bathroom which has a bath which is rare on a camp site defo give the thumbs up from my self my wife and my grandchildren.

Had an evening meal at the Prince William Bar and Grill and thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. I had the Sizzling Chicken Platter with Noodles and my wife the Steak and Ale Pie with boiled potato and vegetables, both meals were well presented and tasted lovely would recommend to all..

Second visit.We ate early around 6.30pm and there was only another table occupied, the adultsonly bar had some customers.2 x 10oz Rib Eye steaks from a local butchers it was excellent, our daughter had thelarge Beef Burger which she could not finish.Well worth a visit if you are nearby.

Stopped here overnite on our 3 motorhome journey around the UK and loved it!Having stayed in smaller and more intimate parks we chose Forget Me Not for a livelier Saturday night and were NOT disappointed.The site is spotlessly clean, the recently built Prince William Bar and Grill (with adult only and family divide) was lovely and the food was exceptional!!! Probably some of the best food on our whole trip.....Well done Mr Maguire :)!

Beautiful up to date caravan Park in the Northumberland Country-side.Maguire,s Park is Brilliant.After spending one million pound updating this Park with Club-House and Play area,s and New Reception this 5 Star Maguires Country Park is Superb. Seasonal Tourer,s welcome and Dog Friendly too(On Lead,s) Park Management and Office/Clubhouse Staff Excellent.Groundsmen/Maintanance and Cleaning Staff keep the ground,s in perfect Shape for all to Enjoy.Well done to all at FMN.

Excellent food, pleasant staff and good value for money. This is a new building on Forget Me Not, the kids can play outside on the Play Park at the rear, you can see them so very safe.

We used to be regulars at this site but havent been for three years and what a difference. We expected the new owners to have updated this site but never expected them to have actually demolished and rebuilt the Prince William restaurant and bar. An excellent area for adults only and a super area where children are allowed. The play area is all new and apparently there is also a new small football pitch. We stayed out of season for a long weekend and enjoyed every minute. The site was immaculate, the bar/eating area comfortable and the food was great. Will definitely be returning.

Lovely play area and football pitch which closes at 9pm ,very helpful staff, lovely food in the Prince William Restaurant with a soft play area for the children. A well thought out plan of campsite and wash areas including family room .

We stayed with our Tourer on the Paddock. The whole site is clean, tidy, well equipped. and well maintained. The brand new Play Area was ideal for our three children and the Pub served fantastic food, value for money. it was our second stay and we'll definately be back.

In arrival they want £20 for a key fob (barrier entrance/toilet access) not a problem but a warning in advance when booking would have been helpful. Pitch was ok, apart from being near the bar/kids play area we were out Saturday night but on Sunday night we stayed in but we may as well have been pitched in a primary school yard the noise was unbelievable from screaming kids. Plus side at 9.00pm it was as quiet as a grave :) (park closes). Next time I will ask for a pitch as far away as possible from the playpark. Plus points Adult only bar, food was good. Site is well kept. Toilets and showers nice. Negatives - leaving was a problem nowhere to park up as get through the barrier to take the fob back so pulled to one side, went in and they want the map back as well! So have to climb over a fully packed van to get the bloody thing out the window (they forget to tell us that on arrival). Yes I would come back again on the quiet season oh and no Tv signal either.

Stayed in one of the touring pitches, lovely site, immaculate facilities and lovely food in the bar, staff lovely and friendly. Booked to return again :)

We have stayed on this site numerous times in our tourer now and have seen it transformed. The new Prince William Bar & Restaurant is excellent with friendly staff and lovely food. The new play park and soft play area provide kids with hours of fun. The newly opened Paddock is very nice. Run by very friendly and thoughtful people who looked after our caravan when we had to return home because of a bereavement and then refunded our money even though our caravan was still on a plot!!!! Highly recommended

Went here May bank holiday. Found the site to be very clean, newly built bar & family room. ( bar is adults only) staff a were very friendly. Although I haven't tried the the food there I have been told by a few people on the food is very good. A well aquiped play aeria & football aeria for children. The only fault I could find was that were some of the hookup & drainage points were not in the best place for getting a large caravan in & out & you needed extra long gray water pipe to reach the drain. I have been told they are going to rectify that. The park is under new ownership so they are learning as they go. I enjoyed my stay there, so I have booked again for August bank holiday

The change in this site and bar/restaurant is unbelievable since the McGuire family have taken over. The food is always great the staff friendly and helpful well done to everyone

After much consideration we bought a static caravan here at Forget Me Not earlier in the year following many years of having a touring caravan. Nigel and the team have been very helpful with the transition and we love the location being just 20 minutes from beaches and many other places to visit including the fantastic dinosaur golf at the garden centre nearby. The new bars and restaurant are lovely serving good food and the range of food is increasing weekly. Our grandchildren love the freedom and using the new play area. A swimming pool would be a fantastic addition and you never know maybe something for the future. It has been mentioned the park closes at 9pm this is could be confusing as it is only the external play area that closes at 9, but nothing to stop children playing by their caravans.

Well done to the Maguire Family, they have transformed a neglected, run down caravan park and bar into the beautiful family friendly "Forget Me Not Country Park". The new Prince William Bar and Restaurant are lovely, spacious and very nicely decorated. The meals are delicious and great value for money. The football field and play park are both brilliant for the kids as is the soft play area inside for the little ones. I would definitely recommend this Park to families and couples as there's something for everyone and it's a friendly place to spend your holidays.

2nd time we have visited the new Prince William Bar .Fantastic new surroundings & great value pub grub with plenty of choice on the menu.Tonight we both had the Balti chicken which was delicious .Well done we needed somewhere decent on our doorstep

Fantastic caravan site plenty of space between caravans hard standing no complaints at all. The new club house and children's park were brilliant good idea to have them together only fault we found was the park was closed at 9 at nite but we got over that as the children were allowed in the family room which had good entertainment on ,Sunday dinners are a must ,5 stars for all the staff they were very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back

poor experience of what used to be a great family park.Stayed with friends, after many years ago, having a static caravan here- wondered what it would be like now, since so much was promised, as a 5* park.It felt like the heart had been ripped out the park, with most the long stay residents of yesterday having moved out- now I know why!Previously the park had a vibrant friendly feel to it, where tourers were welcomed and families all joined in organised activities. yes there was football on live in a packed out bar during the season, and the Hamilton family who then owned it, were like extended family to all.On my most recent visit, lots of vans were empty, no one appeared to speak to each other and the bar for a pint, and to watch football was no more. It appears the new owners want a "better clientele on site"- I was even told that by a member of staff! (now that's snobbish!)- but its their park, and they can do what they like to it, and I know its a work in process- but by gum- its gone downhill fast!I saw a few people out and about, but if I had the money to invest in a holiday home again, Id want to feel friendly with the neighbours, and enjoy a night outside sharing drinks, and having a laugh- alas no more of that here!

Will definitely not forget this campsite in a hurry. On our way south and saw this in our campsite book. Had reasonable reviews online so we phoned and booked for one night. Didn't need electric but told all pitches were serviced (hookup, water, waste water). Cost was £25 to be paid upfront by card. Non-refundable. Bit steep as Camping and Caravan Club sites are around £14 but website showed great views with bar, restaurant, laundry etc so booked it.On arrival we paid our £10 deposit for keycard to gate and toilets and were shown to our pitch.Site is basically in the middle of nowhere. Fields all around. Telescope required for views. It was static home city! There was one other 'tourer' on site, the rest of the caravans were obviously permanent. We could only use the electric as like many/most motorhomes we didn't have the adaptors to connect to the fresh and waste water. We couldn't see any fresh water taps around then found reception and all other staff disappeared promptly at 5.00pm.Also tried to report that smoke alarm was beeping in ladies toilet but no one around.The advertised motorhome service point (with a big sign) on the site had a large boulder over the very rusty drain so was unusable.The bar and restaurant were closed and only opened fully at weekends and on Wed/Thurs nights. Luckily we had food with us. The laundry was closed for refurbishment.There was free WiFi but as you had to give email address etc to sign on I suspect I'll get lots of spam as a result. The WiFi service was poor to non-existent.We later went online and found out that you could pay £40 for 4 days so we paid 250% more for our one night with no facilities apart from toilets etc. We complained when we left that most of the facilities advertised were unavailable, which should have been mentioned when we booked, but were met with indifference.Very disappointing and one of the worst/most expensive sites I've ever been on in over 30 years of camping.

On first site the camp (country park) looks fine. However, we soon learned that it had been recently purchased by the Maguire family and they had plans for redevelopment. We booked a fully serviced pitch but upon arrival found no TV access and the signal from our caravan extremely poor. The WIFI was also erratic with at best 60% strength signal. We found it strange that so many pitches at this time of the year were vacant, particularly as the site is situate conveniently for Cragside, Wallington etc. Of the 2 washing up basins in the block near to us, only one was fully functional, the other needing plumbing attention.The shower block was fine, apart from the water being far to hot to stand under. Our hard standing pitch required extra long pegs to secure the awning (we assume the same applied to other pitches). We wont be visiting this site again.
