A aimé Lovely place to camp, large pitches with electric hook up and water, the kids loved the tyre swings and play area near the shop. Only a 5 minute drive to Barnard Castle. Lovely little animal enclosure. Friendly staff. Clean showers and toilets including a baby change. Family/toy room in the shower block with board games and toys, 2 sofas & a bean bag chair. Would definitely return.

N'a pas aimé Only downside is it is very close to the A66 and the noise from the traffic gets noisy around 6am. Nothing else to complain about.

A aimé The centre was excellent with plenty to do for the kids. Farm, Maze, play area and tyre swings. The centre was very clean and tidy. The toilet/shower area was also very clean and a great facility with a lounge area and TV.

N'a pas aimé The only bad thing was the A66. This was within 10 meters of the tent pitch and has constant traffic noise. The toilet block was a little distance but only became an issue during the night.
A toilet/shower block and electric hook-ups on the top field, away from the road and the site would be perfect.

A aimé Friendly and helpful staff
Excellent toilets and showers
Great for the kids - plenty for them to do
Lovely farm shop
Animal paddock was great

N'a pas aimé Grass tent pitches are located too close to A66 - very noisy all day and night. Due to this I would not consider returning unless pitches were relocated which is such a shame because everything else was spot on.

Grass pitches are very uneven and on a slope.
Would have given this 10/10 if it was not for the road noise.

10amp EHU especially when paying by meter and could not use my hairdryer unless we turned the Alde hot water system off in our caravan

A aimé A very lovely site, clean, quiet and well maintained. The site had a lot of amenities including washer and dryer. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. There was so much to do, the maise maze was our favourite. The kids loved the tyre swings and made a lot of friends.

N'a pas aimé The rabbits entering the porch looking for snacks! But they left quite quickly once a light was turned on

A aimé We stayed here for 1 night en-route to Scotland, although other reviews say it was noisey due to the close proximity to the A66 it didn’t affect our stay and we had a very enjoyable stay. Great site and the shop is a fabulous bonus. Staff very friendly and helpful x
