Short stroll to local ameneties

2 night stay in Nov 2022. Good access to site. Water, EHU and satellite dish feed at each pitch. Good TV and mobile signals. Pitches mostly level. 12 min walk along quiet lane to Sedgefield centre with lots of options to eat out and local stores.

Great CL

We stayed here for 2 nights. We had a very good welcome and was given very good information about the village and buses. There was a bit of road noise.

Fully Serviced Pitches

This is a great CL. There are Hardstanding with electricity, water and drainage. There is also a grass rally field also with ehu. Sedgefield is a short and easy walk away with great pubs and cafes. You must go to George Bolams shop. Loads of meat, fish, cheese, veg and bakery. If you go on Donnewell farm’s website, the instruction to ignore the postcode and use Google maps is very clear; as are the written directions to the site. We found it with no problem. The pricing is also very clear on the website; it is the CAMC page that is out of date. There is quite a bit of road noise from the dual carriageway, particularly in the morning. It would not stop us coming back, but it might bother others.

Good quality CL.

It's unclear to me why others struggled to find this CL, it's as easy as pie to find, and just as easy to get into. We have an 8m motorhome with tow car. Postcode is correct, directs are clear, just look for it on google maps and see. We always use CLs rather than the larger, busier, more expensive club sites, because we prefer it quieter. Many CLs only have one grey water disposal point and one fresh water stand pipe. It's always a little bonus when we find one with a serviced pitch, as with here. Likewise, this CL has level pitches, all 5 of which are hardstanding. We cannot fault the site, and would stay here again no doubt at all. My only negative comment, please amend your advertised price. We don't mind paying £22 per night knowing that the facilities are good, but why leave the price advertised on here as £12? All it does is causes those who like to moan, to moan.

If you are looking for a cheap overnight stay this is probably not for you

We booked this site for a one night stopover on our way home which was fine, however, the post code doesn't work and the owners directions were not very clear. I phoned to ask for the correct postcode and was assured that I had the correct postcode, but we still couldn't find it and I phoned again and was given the post code for another farm close by which was on the other side of a dual carriageway. After as 350 mile drive you just don't need the hassle. I spoke to the owner and he informed me that the postcode had been changed a couple of years ago. The description on the website gives a guide price as from £12 but we were charged £22. I knew it was more expensive from one of the earlier reviews where the person was charged £18 and I was fine with that, but I feel that £22 is just too much for what they offer. We were on a Club site in the Cotswolds with full facilities where the midweek price was £20 and another private site in the New Forest again with full facilities and that was also £20 All the pitches on this site have an electric meter which I don't think is in use as we were not charged any extra for the 3Kw electric that we had used. Sorry but I wouldn't stay here again.

Great place

Stayed here from Sat 25th September to Sat 2nd October and had a lovely, relaxing time. Really handy for visiting other places (mum lives in Redcar, 20 mins drive away) and many other places. Can hear traffic on the road a bit, but soon get used to it. Will definately be back.

Spot On.

We had a week on this site in a touring caravan and were very pleased. Easy to find and very easy access being directly off a dual carriageway, Sedgefield is a 15 minute walk, a petrol station 400 metres away and a very large supermarket 5 miles. The pitches are level, part hardstanding part grass, a good size, well spaced and fully serviced. TV reception was excellent but the site Wifi just didn't work. I've perhaps been on sites with a better outlook but this was more than adequate and wouldn't hesitate in returning.

Very close to Sedgefield

We used this site as we were meeting family in Sedgefield. The site is easy to find, level, reasonably priced and only a short walk into the town. On arrival the welcome was good and overall we were very happy with the site. We will certainly return.

Great site but more expensive than we thought.

Great site overall. Nice walk into Sedgefield and from there we got a bus to Durham on a beautiful day. We were surprised that there was an additional charge of £6 a night for electric, however. I don’t think anyone mentioned that and it is a 50% increase in cost! Nice pitch, fully serviced and we weren’t put off by a little road noise from the nearby dual carriageway.
