We visit this site regularly and are always there when the site opens each year and have just returned. A lot of work has been done on the hard standings and the site looks really good with a lovely display of flowering tubs outside reception. The new wardens are very friendly and helpful. This site is great if you want peace and quiet and to see squirrels and hares darting around and an array of birds feeding. (Re other reviews) ... we have never experienced noisy dogs or lots of them in the 10 years we have been visiting. Previous reviews make it sound like Battersea Dogs Home!! It's not. It probably isn't the best site for families as there's not much for children to do or any toilets/shower blocks, which is why we like it. It's a great location for walkers like us and central for getting to various places in the area. The Tea Gardens at Falling Foss are a must to visit whilst you're around. Can't wait to go back.
