First Visit
Arrived Sunday 25/2 from Chichester, West Sussex, before heavy snowfall and blizzards from Tuesday and rest of week. Good practical location to get into Durham and visit area eg Beamish museum, which we did. Staff friendly and helpful, particularly given such adverse conditions. Facities immaculate and plenty of hot water. Amazed fresh water at service point worked in temperatures down to about -5. Could hear some traffic on A1 but this was positive as we knew it was open! Guess this might be a little instrusive if relaxing outside, but it is the price for the site being so easily accessible and convenient from the A1. Found yellow marker posts really helpful as they showed the edge of the access road on the site which was covered in an 8inch blanket of snow. Impressed with Park and Ride, £2 return per person. Enjoyed our stay and will return.
