Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Very friendly team, great site and surrounding area, facilities were nice.
We didnt realise that they didn't accept twin axle caravans but they were still accommodating although concerned.
Disliked Doesn't accept twin axle so we wouldn't be able to visit again, we are gutted by it.
Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Toilet and showers were very clean (one of the best facilities we have had in 12 years of touring).
Cafe/Bar was nice and bright and the food very nice.
Our Grandson loved the animals and the play ground.
Disliked Grey water disposal was not at ground level, but required lifting the waste master up into the chemical waste site. (unless we failed to find the correct drain).
Great views, friendly staff, peaceful site, clean, toilets and showers were perfect!…

Excellent site with lovely staff.
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked We were welcomed by the lovely friendly staff and checked in easily and quickly. The site is lovely. Everywhere was spotless and the pitches are are huge. We had only one slightly negative comment with the dish washing area, some of the hot taps weren't working. We tried the restaurant, the food was lovely.
We will definitely return and recommend this site.
5 Star caravan site - Definitely visiting again

Could not of asked for better. Price was pretty much the same
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Excellent stay. All staff extremely friendly. Loved the animal park and kids area which was included in the price of the stay. Cafe that turned into a bar and restaurant on a night. Cakes in the cafe looked amazing. First thoughts were the menu on a night was limited but best cheese burger and chips I’ve had. Toilets and showers were spot on. Super clean, proper shower with loads of space to move. Location for us was perfect. Bishop Auckland 6 minutes away. Raby castle 10 minutes another direction, Hamsterly Forest 10 minutes opposite direction.
Sorry didn’t try the WiFi. We had a good 5g signal and TV tuned into 128 channels which was brilliant and most unusual. Didn’t need the WiFi
