Amazing little site will definitely go back.

We really enjoyed our stay at this campsite and there were several things that we particularly liked.

One of the biggest positives for us was how quiet and peaceful the site was. It was a really nice atmosphere and made the stay feel relaxing. There wasn’t a constant feeling of noise or lots of activity going on around you, which made it a great place to unwind and enjoy some time away.

We also really liked the fact that the facilities were modern. They gave the campsite a more up-to-date feel and it was clear that effort had been made to provide modern facilities for guests. This was definitely one of the things that stood out to us during our stay.

Another positive was how easy the campsite was to find. The location was straightforward and we had no issues finding our way there or locating the site. After travelling, it’s always appreciated when a campsite is easy to get to without having to spend ages searching for the entrance or relying on complicated directions.

Overall, the campsite had a really nice, peaceful atmosphere, and the modern facilities and easy-to-find location were definite positives for us. We enjoyed the quieter surroundings and felt that the site had a lot of potential.

There were, however, a few things during our stay that we felt could have been considerably better.

The cleanliness of the toilet facilities was disappointing and, in our opinion, not to the standard we would expect. In particular, the women’s toilets had a significant number of flies inside, which wasn’t particularly pleasant. The toilet roll had also run out in the women’s toilets, meaning my wife was left without any. I ended up having to get a couple of rolls from the men’s toilets for her. These are relatively simple things to keep on top of, so it was disappointing to find the facilities in this condition.

We were also surprised that there was nobody on site to check us in or welcome us when we arrived. We had to phone someone who was based in Darlington to find out where we needed to go and what we needed to do. While we appreciate that not every campsite will have someone permanently based on site, having no one there at all did make the arrival experience feel somewhat impersonal and confusing.

The lack of a warden or member of staff on site was also something we noticed throughout our stay. On a couple of occasions when we needed to contact someone, the phone seemed to ring for quite some time before being answered. This isn’t ideal, particularly when there is nobody physically available on site if an issue arises.

The lack of an on-site warden also seemed to mean that some of the site’s rules weren’t being enforced. For example, I specifically contacted the warden before using a fire pit to check what the rules were and was told that fire pits were not permitted. However, later that evening, as we were getting ready to turn in for the night, we noticed a number of other fire pits being used around the site.

If fire pits are against the site rules, then we feel this should either be actively enforced or the rules should be made much more obvious and prominent to guests. It seems unfair for guests who take the time to check the rules and follow them to then see other people ignoring them without any apparent consequences.

None of these issues completely ruined our stay, and there were certainly things we liked about the campsite, particularly how quiet it was and the modern facilities. However, we feel these are areas that could be improved quite easily and would make a significant difference to the overall experience for future guests.

Lovely well kept and clean site with nice new showers although this would be much improved if you had an area to be able to change once you get out of the actual shower. Over all great stay and we will be back 🙂

Nothing at all 👏

Wunderschöner Platz nahe Bahn,Bus ind Pub,neue Waschräume.

The friendly welcome, Gordon’s local knowledge, tidy site, clean toilet/shower block and spacious pitch.

The fact that there was no fishing and the website had not been updated to reflect this.

And the bloke who showed us to our pitch is a top man.
Second time we have been.

The welcome greeting, the fabulous cleanliness of the whole site particularly the toilet/shower block. The stay was reasonably priced and efficient transaction wise.

for a tourer without hook up the ground was on quite a slope. It just meant we should've taken wedges to help level our motorhome

Very warm welcome 🤗 and looking forward to going back again soon
