We were apprehensive about staying on this site due to the reports of road noise. I am so glad we chose this site. The site is lovely and the staff very friendly, the facilities are excellent. We have not been on a site before where everyone staying on site was so friendly and chatty. It made for a very enjoyable stay. Durham itself is lovely and a must visit is the Cathedral easily accessible via the Cathedral bus. Access to the A1M proved very useful for traveling both North & South to the numerous National Trust and English Heritage sites. Yes there is some road noise but it didn't impact on our stay in anyway at all. We will return as the location is perfect if you want to tour the area.
