We had a lovely stay over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend and were very lucky with the weather too. The site is small but well maintained. A large number of the pitches are adjacent to the road so there is some road noise but not bad enough to spoil our stay. We didn't try walking into Barnard Castle centre as it was a fair walk and there aren't any proper pavements so we used the car instead. The small town has a wide variety of eating places and pubs. The Golden Lion is the oldest with plenty of character and Sunday lunch at the Three Horse Shoes was delicious. There are lots of lovely Northumbrian villages nearby that are worth a visit. High Force Falls was spectacular. I think we've found ourselves another favourite site!

This was a return visit to the site, and we were delighted to find they now have a field next door offering a really good dog exercise area, with nicely positioned dog waste bins round the perimeter. This was a real bonus on an already excellent site, so we extended our stay by two extra nights. Although the site was really full when we arrived (we took the penultimate pitch), the facilities were as spotless as ever and the wardens really friendly.We stayed longer this time since we had a place to run the dog out, and explored some of the walks locally.You can go for long or short walks from the site, there are plenty of options in all directions. We saw an otter on the Tees just above the weir, plus dippers and oystercatchers upstream of there. We rate this site really high. However we don't have chldren so we had to 'guess' at the star rating for them - I suspect the closeness of the main road may be a problem for some, though the children we did see appeared happy enough. We intend to make many return visits to this wonderful site and explore the dales roundabout.
