Good and bad points
We cannot fault the welcome on this site. the owners were extremely nice. Proximity of the site to Durham and Beamish is excellent, with Durham Park & Ride about 3 miles away. Most disconcerting was the siting of the drinking water tap. I watched one of the ponies in the paddock rubbing against the post holding the water tap and pipe for quite a while, which did leave me wondering about possible contamination. Also, as the water is at the lower end of the site it means you are pulling water uphill if you are pitched at the top. This is OK if you are fit. Six vans on site a couple of times while we were there. The road outside the site was noisy at certain times of the day but otherwise it was very quiet indeed. Also the power went off a couple of times as it seems they have a fault at the house somewhere.
