weekend away in new van

I tried to book this site via the CC website but it crashed twice!!! must be the new logo.....etc i rang the site direct as there seemed to be only one pitch left for the Saturday evening, spoke to Gill the warden, and explained that i would not be able to book until late the next day. She sorted the booking out at once and was so very helpful. On arriving on the Friday evening we got a lovely friendly welcome, i would go so far as to say the friendliest warden we have ever met. We will return later in the year (when the price comes down)!!!! Like other reviews i am not sure why this site is so expensive. Barnard Castle is a lovely place. Caravan Club please remember your competition is just up the road... Thank you Gill for making our weekend and we hope you enjoyed your Birthday.

Great Caravan Motorhome Park

Very warm welcome from Site Wardens Wayne and Jill.. The toilet and shower block is spotless, very warm, as is the dishwashing room. The site is ideally situated for visiting many places of interest. The site wardens were so friendly, helpful and informative.. We will definitely be returning again later in the year.. Iain., Ann and Troy

Great location and excellent facilities

Spent a couple of days here last week. Weather was pretty kind to us, so got the most out of our stay. Easy to find, just a half mile outside of Barnard Castle. Everything on this site looks really new and in excellent condition. There is also a drying room which we used for our boots, saved a lot of hassle.Nice welcome and easy to get booked in and find our pitch. Pitches all seemed pretty level. A good playpark area for kids and the meadow at the far end of site is great for dog walk / exercise. Also a small dog walk area in centre of site. You can get buses outside of site. Timetables available. A short walk takes you into Barnard castle, a little bit hilly, but worth the visit. Plenty of shops and places to eat and drink. Also, in surrounding area, plenty of walks using the Right of Way routes. A bit muddy this time of year and a few hills involved, but throughly enjoyable. Really good for dogs.We had been to this area before, so know that there are loads of places to go and things to see, so location of site is great. Only minor issue is some traffic noise in the morning when traffic gets a bit busier, but that doesn't detract from my overall view. This is a really good sitre, in a fantastic location.

Excellent first stay

Excellent site. Very very clean facilities. Probably the cleanest we've been to. Road noise not a problem despite what people say. Wardens lovely. Lovely all round site. Definitely be back.

Great Facilities (but relatively pricey)

Used this site as a stopover while en route in our motorhome from Scotland to home near Cambridge, so my ratings for peace & quiet & location are possibly unduly influenced by where we'd just travelled from. We found road noise was intrusive, even in the parts of site furthest from the adjacent busy B road. The facilities are absolutely 1st class, though, & we loved the underfloor heating in the blocks. The wardens were also 1st class! That said, we thought the daily fee of £24.70 was too high when compared to the £18 - £19 we'd been paying in Scotland. We'll go back to the area to see more, but will probably look for a good CL instead of staying at this site.

First class site

This is a first class CC site with excellent clean facilities and friendly, helpful staff. The Club flags up that there can be some road noise but this is dependent on where you pitch and even on the worst placed pitches I would not consider it to be too intrusive and on the better placed pitches it is non-existent. It is only a 20 minute walk into Barnard Castle which is a vibrant little town with plenty to see and do. We are very familiar with the area and visit frequently but for first time visitors Barnard Castle makes an excellent base for touring the various places of interest in the area.

Great situation!

Sadly this was the last night of our very enjoyable holiday in the North of England. We loved the site and it's great facilities.We walked into Barnard Castle twice.... beautiful alongside the river. Fantastic few hours in the Bowes Museum,saw the unique Silver Swan perform at 2 pm...... again we'd love to return here and explore the local countryside.
