Electric optional grass pitch
Liked: The facilities are very clean and well looked after.
Lovely campsite for kids as have kids play park and a lot of animals, kids loved the farm area.
There is a softplay but we never needed to use this.
Showers and toilets were well maintenanced which is key for camping.
Disliked: This isn’t about the campsite but something to bear in mind it is beside a busy road so the traffic noise can be heard. So if you are wanting peaceful the road noise did prevent us from having a good sleep. We had to go and buy sound proof headphones for sleeping. Like I say this isn’t the camp site fault but something to bear in mind.

Liked: Facilities, good toilets and shop. Site layout was good. Loved the animals. Added bonus of Antiques barn and garden centre. Perfect venue for visiting all the local castles and beyond.
Disliked: Sorry, you cant get away from the site being on the A66 and constant traffic noise , but atleast it made it easy to get to places and no long country roads!

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked: Facilities new, clean
Disliked: Too close to the A66, basically behind a bush off the side of the road. Very noisy all night with lorries ans traffic.
Constant beeping all night from a box near the facilities. So not near us but we could still hear all night.

Liked: Friendliness of staff upon checkin and during visiting the shop and restaurant. Children's play area next to the restaurant area is a nice play area.
Toilet area next to pitches very clean and efficient.
Friendly and quiet site.
Kids enjoyed themselves on the tyre swings in the middle of the site.
Only thing i that was a problem for us was our hook up lead didnt reach the electric as it was in the spot next door but one to our pitch, but the staff offered an extension to lend if we needed it.
