Very easy access from A66 initial welcome friendly but when my wife went back to reception to report pitch no and collect pass found female warden a little grumpy because she had the dog with her, but after that no problems. A beautiful clean site with lovely level pitches. Great dog walk and the kids that were there appeared to love the play area. Short walk into Barnard castle plenty of very good pubs and eating places, recommend the Indian restaurant. Did a couple of decent walks direct from site and plenty more to choose from. The road outside the site is a little busy but after a short while you do not notice it and it was very quiet at night. All in all a very enjoyable week will definitely be returning
