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
