Barnard Castle, Co. Durham, England
Power optional grass site
Liked Facilities on site great.
Amazing carvery
Loved the farm
First time booking a grass pitch, so much easier putting up awning
Disliked We were on a pitch closest to road, had read reviews so were prepared for this.
Didn't feel we could walk round the lake with it having a barrier (which was a shame)
Internet not great, luckily warm weather and son forgot to take his tablet anyway 🤣
Lots of dogs off lead
Neighbours coming onto our pitch, Neighbour decided to take a snooze infront of our caravan wrapped in a blanket, my little boy didn't see her and nearly hit her with a ball.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and that you made the most of our facilities, farm and Sunday carvery. It's also great to hear that trying a grass pitch for the first time made setting up your awning easier! We appreciate you sharing your feedback regarding the areas that could be improved. We understand that pitches closer to the A66 can experience road noise, and we're glad you were prepared for this before your visit. We're sorry to hear that the barrier around the lake made you feel unable to explore that area, and we'll take this feedback on board when reviewing our signage and access information. We also apologise for the issues you experienced with dogs being off lead and neighbouring guests encroaching on your pitch. This is not the standard we expect on site, and we take these matters seriously as we want all our guests to feel comfortable, safe and able to enjoy their own space during their stay. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We're delighted that, overall, you had an enjoyable visit and we hope to welcome you and your family back to Thorpe Farm again soon.
