Wonderful views and owners

We stay at this site often and we can honestly say it's one of the best CL's around. Although the site is sloping once you get set up the views are excellent. The site is well located for visiting all the local tourist spots like Durham and Beamish Museum. Christine and Tony are excellent hosts and are very accomodating . The fresh eggs (free on arrival) are a welcoming bonus. We will definitely be back soon.

A bit scruffy

The site owners very welcoming and gave us half a dozen freshly laid eggs. The views are lovely but the main road is very busy some drivers treated it like a racing track. The site really does slope so extra levelling blocks are a must When we were there , most of the time there were 8 vans which made it. crowded with vans being sited quite close together

Lovely rural CL

We stayed for a week over half term in June and can honestly say we have never had such a warm welcome from any CL owners, Christine and Tony are lovely, as were the fresh eggs on arrival. The site is on a slight slope but doesnt cause any issues and the site itself is lovely and quiet with fantastic countryside views. Access to Durham is very easy as is Beamish museum which is well worth a visit. I would also like to say we really appreciated the use of one of the paddocks to let our poorly elderly dog have an off lead sniff around, that certainly made her holiday a happy one. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend Old Bridge End CL and are already looking forward to returning next year. The Staffords and Dobermans Daisy & Cooper

Excellent for Durham or for a stopover

Ideal if you want a quiet rural location that is easily accessed and with welcoming hosts. Slight slope to the pitch was easy to compensate. The site was not unduly affected by the heavy rain of the previous day. Highly recommended.

Rural site, close to Durham and Beamish. Friendly and helpful owners.

We stayed here for a week in May. We were welcomed with fresh eggs from some of the 28 hens. Owing to days of rain the site was waterlogged but we were offered a hard standing. We got set up and enjoyed the view across the valley. Christine and Tony were very helpful with information and levelling items. There's a 6 mile circular walk through trees and fields that takes you past Broom House Farm where you can get lovely food.

All round excellent

Beautiful site with friendly owner. We were welcomed by them when we arrived and were given a couple of freshly laid eggs, which I enjoyed for my breakfast. Facilities were adaquate. We went on a very long and muddy walk which was great and the pub was great (first pub you come to), but all uphill on the way back. If we're ever in those parts again we wouldn't hesitate to stay here.

Super Site

A super site with two lovely people, Tony and Christine. Nice wide entrance and within a few minutes of the park and ride into the city ( free fares for senior citizens). We arrived late after a long drive from Devon, were greeted with free range eggs from Christines chucks and settled into a deep sleep. A previous member moans about the slope of the site, its nothing a caravanned could not easily cope with, I've used sites with double theirs. Covid stopped me going to Beamish so we will be back at a future date guys. Thanks for your company Mike And Vi

Fabulous

A really warm welcome including eggs from the chickens they have next to the site. Beautiful views and convenient for visiting Durham and Beamish. Had a lovely meal at the Travellers Rest which is within walking distance. The site is basic - no loos/showers and no drive over grey water but they are happy for you to drop that in the hedge -but basic is what we like. Quiet at night and dark skies. It does slope so you will need levelling blocks. Definitely recommended for tranquillity and convenience plus a warm welcome.

Great CL Site.

Great site with spectacular views. The owners Tony and Christine cannot do enough for you. On arrival we were greeted by both of them and given 6 free range eggs. One member has mentioned that you need leveling blocks,. We found this no problem. As for tearing up the grass which was also mentioned, again we found this no problem. Is this not down to the skill of the driver. We had heavy rain throughout our vist and towed off with ease. In our view this little gem is one of the best CL sites we have ever stayed on. It was that good we added an extra week. All ammeneties are near by with Durham Centre only 3 miles away. The Travellers Rest serves excellent food and is within walking distance We will definitely be returning.
