We stayed as a stopover en-route from Kent to Scotland. 1 night out and it was so good 2 nights on the way back. This was by far the best site on this holiday and others! The facilities are immaculate and the grounds are just enchanting, with paths and carefully and thoughtfully planted copses of tress and wildflower areas - spectacular! And then you get the double aspect views from your pitch. Countryside, farmland and farm animals as far as the eye can see. From the moment we arrived and with Philip's very warm welcome we felt instantly relaxed and at home and with the holiday feel. Philip is a fount of knowledge for all things Barnard Castle, transport, things to do, walks and wider information on the surrounding area. We walked from the site to Barnard Castle - an hour and half walk from site to Castle. Even the terrier dog, who can be tricky! loved it.... You will need good levelling blocks, but Philip has even thought of supplying some spares - but getting level is easy. If you plan on the awning you will need some robust pegging! However these are minor considerations on a fabulous CL. We could not have been made more welcome or enjoyed our stay more. Thank you Philip and Viewforth Meadow. We will return.
