Grove Farm , Hett
One night stay on way South from a trip to Northumberland. Great welcome from site owners who were incredibly friendly. Spotless washroom and shower. Peaceful site with nice views and added attraction of two lovely donkeys in a paddock adjacent. Would stay again.
A lovely place to stay
A spur of the moment trip out to test out the van meant an evening phone call to the site half expecting us to be turned away. The owner couldn't have been more welcoming and hospitable and half an hour later we were set up in the peaceful surroundings. We can echo the many comments from the previous reviews of how immaculate the facilities are (best I've seen for a while). We can see ourselves returning again and again.
Thanks for having us!

Lovely site and hosts
We stayed here for two nights 14th/15th June and recommend it highly. A lovely peaceful site with plenty of space, with two hosts, Tom and Mark who were so friendly and very helpful The site does not have electricity but a shower and washroom are situated by the bungalow. they are kept spotlessly clean.
A short drive to the Park & Ride for visiting Durham city, Crook Hall & Gardens (NT) and the Botanical Gardens or a short drive to Beamish.
Thank you again for a great stay to Tom, Mark, Marigold & Petunia
A truly delightful site!
We have just spent the most peaceful night at Grove Farm, it’s off the main road along a country lane and situated in the delightful village of Hett. The owners Tom and Mark could not be more welcoming to their lovely site which they clearly pride themselves on. The facilities are pristine with a lovely warm and spacious shower and some very nice hand wash in the toilet!
There are some some lovely walks nearby and the view from the site is rolling fields and countryside. If you want a site that gets you back to nature this is the one. The added bonus of the two adorable donkeys (Petunia and Marigold) in the paddock makes for a truly magnificent stay. We will definitely be back!
Please note there is no electric and this is clearly stated on the website and the owners always advise this on booking, I noted someone gave one star less for this which I can’t understand as it is very clear they are a site that does not provide electric!
What a nice little site
Lovely quiet site, added bonus of immaculate toilet and shower on site. The owners were very friendly and helpful.
All in all a nice spot for a night or 2, but we wouldn't be able to stay longer as no electric hook up.
A gem of a site!
Grove Farm is a wonderful little CL. We stayed for a night at the beginning of May en route to Northumberland and Scotland, and Tom and Mark made us feel so welcome. The shower and toilet were absolutely spotless and we loved meeting the donkeys, Marigold and Petunia! Hett is a lovely, peaceful village with plenty of dog walks and amazing views. We'll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Tom, Mark and the girls! (Lovely to meet Freddie the schnauzer, too!) Emma, Duncan and Auburn
Lovely CL, friendly, informative and welcoming owners
What a lovely, peaceful stop over on our way up to Scotland.
Mark and Tom made us very welcome and were very informative and knowledgeable about the surrounding area.
The facilities (shower room and toilet) were spotless and much appreciated.
And we loved the Donkeys.
Recommend the coach and horses pub (15 mins walk) nearby - great roast most evenings (2 for £15), unfortunately not dog friendly, but food made up for it.
Thank you once again Mark and Tom, will definitely be back.
Kind regards Delphine and Peter.

Excellent CL - a hidden gem.
We stayed here after a long drive from Scotland 🏴 we used the CL as a stopover as we were travelling further down South. It is close to all the main roads travelling South and North so excellent for stopovers and longer stays to tour this beautiful area of the UK.
It is perfect base to visit the beautiful City of Durham, North Yorkshire and further afield to Barnard Castle etc.
The sites hosts Tom and Mark were very welcoming, nothing was too much trouble and were very friendly.
The CL’s stars were the gorgeous two donkeys. They were in a paddock adjacent to the field if you couldn’t see them you could hear them in a reassuring way as great addition to a CL. Very dog friendly.
The toilet facilities we perfect, absolutely spotless. Please don’t overlook this CL as it is a hidden gem.
We definitely recommend this very peaceful site and definitely will be back. Thank you Tom & Mark for your hospitality. Debra, Grant & Roxy.
Peaceful Site with friendly Donkeys.
Just come back from a 6 night stay at Grove Farm. Tom and Mark were there to meet us on arrival and showed us the field. It was huge and you could pitch up anywhere you wanted. We set up behind the tree to give us some shade from the afternoon sun. This was 6 ft from Marigold and Petunia’s field and where else could you wake up, open the blinds and see a couple of donkeys looking in the van window. The shower and toilet were immaculate and a fresh hand towel in the toilet every day.
Very quiet and peaceful with the odd car or tractor going down the lane but hardly any traffic in the evening.
Lots of walking in the area if you have a dog and only about 7 miles from Durham.
We will definitely return.
