I recently stayed at this lovely little site. There were two beautiful donkeys as well as lovely owners to greet me. The site is quiet and peaceful, and the hosts made me feel very welcome. The toilet and shower were clean and also nice and warm too. I'd thoroughly recommend a stay here.
Still the place to be.....................
Having now spent a total of 81 days at Grove Farm we feel qualified to say that everything contained in our first review listed 04/07/2022 not only still stands but can safely be said to remain not only utterly consistent but, in some cases, improved. ‘The Girls’ are even more settled now they’ve been there for three years, the number of ‘regulars’ appears to be rising and the peace seems to be even more peaceful. A quite wonderful CL to spend time on.
Of course the weather, being British, is its usual unpredictable self; from stunning sunshine with clear blue skies through to torrential rain and chilling winds. But, if one chooses to holiday in our beautiful British Isles, what more may we expect? Are the views from Grove Farm not beautiful?
The welcome from Tom and Mark, even for one-nighters, is still unmatched as is their exceptional helpfulness. No, there are no electric hook-ups. No, generators are not allowed; not even the so-called 'silent' ones (they upset ‘The Girls’). All these things just add to the feeling of peacefulness away from the frenetic hustle and bustle of the unwelcoming outside world. Once again, “Thanks so much” to Tom and Mark for a CL that’s a real haven of tranquillity.

A Gem
This CL is fantastic, with super clean toilet and shower, freedom to choose parking position, fantastic views, peace, easy distance to local attractions and to top it all Mark and Tom make this site extra special with their warmth, friendliness and knowledge of everything local. Thank you Mark and Tom, we hope we can stay with you again.
Lovey site
We have just come home from staying 7 nights at this lovely peaceful site , owners Mark and Tom very friendly and happy to chat and tell you good places to visit. Shower and toilet spotless, would highly recommend.
Grove Farm , Hett
One night stay on way South from a trip to Northumberland. Great welcome from site owners who were incredibly friendly. Spotless washroom and shower. Peaceful site with nice views and added attraction of two lovely donkeys in a paddock adjacent. Would stay again.
A lovely place to stay
A spur of the moment trip out to test out the van meant an evening phone call to the site half expecting us to be turned away. The owner couldn't have been more welcoming and hospitable and half an hour later we were set up in the peaceful surroundings. We can echo the many comments from the previous reviews of how immaculate the facilities are (best I've seen for a while). We can see ourselves returning again and again.
Thanks for having us!

Lovely site and hosts
We stayed here for two nights 14th/15th June and recommend it highly. A lovely peaceful site with plenty of space, with two hosts, Tom and Mark who were so friendly and very helpful The site does not have electricity but a shower and washroom are situated by the bungalow. they are kept spotlessly clean.
A short drive to the Park & Ride for visiting Durham city, Crook Hall & Gardens (NT) and the Botanical Gardens or a short drive to Beamish.
Thank you again for a great stay to Tom, Mark, Marigold & Petunia
A truly delightful site!
We have just spent the most peaceful night at Grove Farm, it’s off the main road along a country lane and situated in the delightful village of Hett. The owners Tom and Mark could not be more welcoming to their lovely site which they clearly pride themselves on. The facilities are pristine with a lovely warm and spacious shower and some very nice hand wash in the toilet!
There are some some lovely walks nearby and the view from the site is rolling fields and countryside. If you want a site that gets you back to nature this is the one. The added bonus of the two adorable donkeys (Petunia and Marigold) in the paddock makes for a truly magnificent stay. We will definitely be back!
Please note there is no electric and this is clearly stated on the website and the owners always advise this on booking, I noted someone gave one star less for this which I can’t understand as it is very clear they are a site that does not provide electric!
What a nice little site
Lovely quiet site, added bonus of immaculate toilet and shower on site. The owners were very friendly and helpful.
All in all a nice spot for a night or 2, but we wouldn't be able to stay longer as no electric hook up.
