Positiv Great pitches. shop and restaurant. The shower and toilet block were the best I’ve ever used. The animals were a treat to meet. We were followed by little friendly goats.

Negativ The Sunday lunch was quite expensive but good. We thought that on first entering the park it could do with clearer signs for tourers to follow.

Positiv The staff were all lovely.
The toilet / shower facilities were lovely but only 2 of the 3 showers were working.
Massive field for dog walking / throwing balls.
Animal enclosures with goats, llamas, pigs to walk round.
Shop was huge, which was well equipped with supplies, even frozen foods ready for you to cook...pies, croissants, scones etc
Restaurant inside the shop area too looked nice (never tried!)
Antique /reclaimed shop
Craft shop

Negativ The pitches were RIGHT NEXT to the A66. A wall and trees were between you and the road. Constant noise throughout the night from lorries.
Yes, the web site states pitches close by to a road but DOSEN'T state which road. And very +++ noisy.
Pitches weren't level at all. It took over 2 hours to try to level caravan with blocks but it never happened, so we were on a nose-dive to the left slant for the week.
We didnt have children with us but I noticed only 1 play park at the entrance. Where we were pitched, there were trees with 2 tyre swings. Maybe another play park here would benefit.
No wifi either. Park needs its own. If it did, we couldn't connect to anything...even our own mobile data didn't work and we were very close to a mast.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your detailed review and lovely comments about our staff, facilities, Farm Shop and animals.
We’re sorry that road noise and difficulties levelling your caravan affected your stay. Our website does state that the park is situated beside the A66, although we appreciate that some guests find the traffic noise more noticeable than others. If you experience difficulties with your pitch, please speak to our team during your stay so we can see what help may be available.
Wi-Fi is available in the Courtyard only and is not advertised as a Holiday Park facility. Mobile reception can vary depending on your network and is outside our control, but we understand the inconvenience this caused.
Thank you also for highlighting the shower issue and sharing your suggestion for an additional play area.

Positiv Spacious pitches.
Own water tap next to the electric meter
Farm shop with lots of groceries along with frozen items/meals.
Restaurant inside the reception/shop
On site animals
Very large dog walk area

Negativ Very uneven grass pitches. Couldn't at all get the caravan to level out, even with leveling blocks underneath the legs.
Grass pitches situated right next to the very busy A66 road, so heard lorries all through the night, and very heavy traffic throughout the day. (It does state that pitches are next to a busy road on the website but not about how busy or which busy road it is!)
Grass pitches are 5 minute walk to the toilet/shower block.
No-one (park rangers) drives around to see if everything ok!
What i had seen was only the one play area for the children and this was situated at the entrance car park. Didn't bother us as we didn't have children with us but they could benefit from another play area for children in the touring part, as there was only tyre swings.
Don't know if touring area has WiFi as we were never told about it.
