Gostou The reason I booked this site was because of the price for a pod per night. As a single, solo traveller I wanted something that wasn’t ridiculously overpriced that I could do with my dog for a couple of nights away.

I’ve never been to Wooler and the location was ideal as I didn’t want to have to drive hours away - I live in Hartlepool. Between the pod, petrol and a little food shop - the 3 days (2 nights) was under £100. I don’t earn a lot of money and this was perfect.

The campsite itself is very well maintained and I felt it was more respectful than how I feel the campsites in Pooley Bridge have become overwhelming in recent years.

I have already re-booked for October and I have recommend this campsite and their pods to my friends. I felt very safe and secure on site which is important. I only used to toilet facilities because I didn’t need to use anything else. Toilets were spotless. The pod was spacious, the simple mini fridge a God-send and a light was all provided - all I needed. I just wanted somewhere I could sit, read my book that was close enough to a village, where I could go during the afternoon to walk my dog.

The staff at reception were very pleasant, helpful and I felt confident if I needed anything all I needed to do was ask.

Overall this was a wonderful site, well priced and I highly recommend it to anyone.

Não gostou I’m couldn’t find any faults.

Gostou Loved how friendly the site was , and had everything you need there . Would definitely recommend and come again .

Não gostou In my opinion the showers and toilets could do with and little TLC and the same with the changing rooms at swimming pool.
Both looking tired and a little run down .

Gostou Very clean, and tidy site.
Well maintained.
Level pitches.
Professional, helpful and friendly reception staff.

Não gostou Looked forward to an evening meal on our last night.
When we reached the Bar and Grill, we were informed the only menu was pizzas , burgers and a child's menu. There was no chef.
Reluctantly we opted for a pepperoni pizza and fries.
It was tasty, but was over priced.
No dessert menu.

Gostou Liked the overall pitch with the ducks
Had meal in bar and could not fault it generous portions as well and 15% discount was a real bonus for first night

Não gostou Bit to close together
The entertainment being on the other side of road and only on till eight o clock the nights we were there then just music playing no atmosphere at all not worth walking over to especially when it was raining
The toilets were not the best floor was always wet in one bit it’s like tourers were an afterthought shame as it could be lovely if not so dated

Gostou Touring field close to shower blocks.

Não gostou Very big park. Mostly caravans. Too busy. When we got to out pitch, there was no hook up available. There are 4 hook ups per post and where we should have hooked up it was not numbered and all electric points were taken. After speaking to reception we plugged in to a different pitch number. Not very well organised.
