GREAT SITE

After a 273 mile journey, arriving after 12 noon, we received an officious, offensive and unnecessary “welcome” from a Mrs Warden, which really upset us. We made sure we avoided her for our 5 night stay and got on with our holiday. This is a super site within easy walking distance of Barnard Castle. There is some road noise from Lartington Lane on the pitches closest to the road, but not unbearable. Hopefully the water main works will soon be completed, and also the footpath over the river which is a lovely walk to the town. Lots to do in the area and within easy driving distance of many attractions. We went to Durham Cathedral, and Richmond Castle as well as more local places. Bowlees visitor centre and High Force waterfall are must see places.

Very Nice Site.

Excellent site in a great location near Barnard Castle. Water main works on the road made travel into the town awkward but hopefully finished by mid summer. There was a bit of traffic noise from the road but it is not too intrusive as the road is not very busy. A nice country pub in a nearby village, the Fox and Hounds at Cotherstone that does excellent meals. Site has a very nice setting with pitches overlooking a wooded valley with lots of birdlife.

Lovely

This is a great little site. The location is good - close enough to walk into Barnard Castle for pubs, shops, restaurants etc. The castle and the Bowes Museum. Also nicely situated for countryside walks. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the site was well maintained. Definitely recommend.

Great location, lots to do.

We had a lovely visit in late March. Site is very accessable, great facilities and fabulous location. Staff were friendly and welcoming. So much to do on the Tees valley and of course Barnard Castle on the doorstep, well almost.

A beautiful site set in a part of England as it used to be

What an absolutely beautiful site, kept very clean by very friendly and helpful warden's. We used there full service pitches which was a big help water and waste always connected. The pitches are very clean and level. Some people have complained about road noise. But I never found this a problem, you are bound to have some road noise to have such an easy to access site but most of the day and after rush hour it was all quiet so I have nothing to complain about their. The town of Barnard castle is like stepping back in time. To a time when everyone was knew eachother and where friendly. It was such a pleasure to have people say hello to you as you walk into town. And people seamed so enthusiastic about the town telling me the best places to eat and to visit. This has become my favourite place to visit A must for anyone wanting to see England as it should be.

Excellent

Nice site and well laid out The welcome was very friendly and the wardens clearly work hard to keep this site looking good, I had a good chat with the warden about the issue of people driving far too fast on site that has children playing etc and sure enough during our stay I would say at least 50% of vehicles were been driven far too fast We found walking into Barnard Castle quite easy and there are plenty of pubs that are dog friendly and really welcoming, we went to the Old Well at the bottom of town run by an Indian guy and his wife which was great for real ale and completely dog friendly and on Friday evenings they have a curry night which is a superb selection of Indian food with Dhal lentils etc and was exceptional and good for gluten free Also the Golden Lion was extremely dog friendly and served great food which was adapted easily to gluten free if required The only downside of the site for was two points that could be improved: 1. The dog walk field entrance was extremely muddy and in an awful mess and it would take very little effort to lay some stone down in this area to cure this problem 2. The other comment we had is the walk into Barnard Castle was along the side of a busy road and again very muddy and slippy, we feel that the amount of business the campers bring to the town, it wouldn’t be too difficult for the local council to extend the footpath for a couple of hundred metres to cure this issue However don’t let these suggestions for improvements put you off because it’s a very good and well run site

one night stay

Unfortunately due to our schedule we only planned for a one night stay here but will return very soon.as soon as I walk through the door I was given a great welcome and was made to feel like I had just arrived home, I explained to the staff we were new to the Motorhome lifestyle having only purchased our unit at the end of last year and only visited two sites previously the amount of advice and information I was given and it was made clear that if I had any questions no matter how silly they may seem just to go and ask and they would help, I was given excellent information about the surrounding area and what to see and do and went to hook up feeling really welcome like an old friend. the facilities on site were spotless and everything thing was first class. the only reason we have marked it down for families is that there is a steep hill to walk down to Barnard castle on a quite busy road and there are no pavements, excellent site will be back soon

Great Site

Lovely site within easy walking distance of Barnard Castle which has great shops and restaurants. Site is kept in very good order with very friendly wardens, nice large field for dog walking and another smaller area with a gravel path if you haven't much time or don't want to put your wellington boots on. Some pleasant walks from the site itself either through woodland or along the river. Didn't use the WiFi but good signal at the site on EE network. Good sized pitches.
