We stayed for 2 weeks in September. Upon our arrival we had a very friendly welcome by the site staff, and their friendliness was there through our stay. It is about a 15 minute walk into Barnard Castle, or slightly longer if walking along the river which can be found in woodland at the rear of the site. We found Barnard Castle a very pleasant market town, whose castle is well worth a visit. The site staff work very hard to maintain the immaculate site and facilities, in fact, the site is a credit to the staff and club.
