Lovely site which will only get better as the trees and shrubs develop. We stayed here for a few days to visit Durham City and Beamish Museum, we chose this site rather than the Durham one as we were concerned about the traffic noise. The staff were friendly and polite and the facilities were spotlessly! The proximity to the town is just great as its easy to walk-in and take advantage of the amenities there. Barnard Castle is a lovely town with lots of independent shops and restaurants. We would thoroughly recommend the Three Horseshoes for great food and a lovely atmosphere. One disappointment was the wifi which we found poor - we paid £20 for access for two iPads (which incidentally was almost 25% of the cost of the holiday!) only to find that access was at best patchy, sometimes the system was totally unavailable and frequently dropped out in mid search. It is also annoying to continually have to log - in agreeing to terms and conditions every time. I feel strongly these when good money is paid we should expect a similar service. I realise that this problem is outside the control of the staff but I shall certainly be contacting the Carava and Motorhome Club directly to complain.
