Reasonable Site..But over crowded

A warm welcome and some free eggs...then it was not so good.   The views are fine but not exceptional and the half acre site has a fair slope (as described) requiring levelling blocks just about everywhere. The only small level area was taken by an unoccupied caravan which had clearly been in place some time. The grass around it was very long. This was the best location on the site and partially blocked the view from the accessible space available to us on arrival.   The site is grossly over booked with, at one period during our seven day stay, eight caravans and motor homes on site.   This made the already small area very crowded with some caravans very close to others.   This is not what a C L should be and is clearly contrary to club rules and guide lines. Beware and check on numbers before you book!

What a Pleasant Place

Gill and I stayed on the site in my Motor home for 4 nights and were charmed by it. The views are fabulous and the facilities exactly as described. There are hens, sheep and horses to keep you entertained and plenty to see and do nearby. Christine and Tony the site owners were so welcoming even offering us the chance to watch their TV when ours failed! They also offered eggs and plenty of advice and info on how to see the area. All in all a great stay and we will definitely be back.

Wonderful

We stayed at this site for three nights. Wish we could have stayed longer. Great owners, great views, great everything. Not sure how anybody would have anything bad to say about it.

A Hidden Gem

We stayed at this lovely quiet rural C L site in early June , and what a wonderful friendly couple who own it.They made us very welcome and our little westie loved it too!! It is near to the Park and Ride into Durham City and close to Beamish , which we visited and saved with the discount for CC members. We felt really “out in the country” with only the occasional tractor noise , and the wonderful views of open fields . We will be back again as it was so tidy and convenient and we felt at Home ,Thank you both for helping us to have a really relaxing break.

Happy times had by all......

Made to feel very welcome on arrival, shown to our pitch and presented with fresh eggs ( absolutely gorgeous).  A very tranquil and peaceful place with easy access to local attractions.  Not too far for waste disposal and water.   Must not forget to mention the village pub which is within walking distance and great food. A fantastic all round CL ?? x

Good and bad points

We cannot fault the welcome on this site. the owners were extremely nice. Proximity of the site to Durham and Beamish is excellent, with Durham Park & Ride about 3 miles away. Most disconcerting was the siting of the drinking water tap. I watched one of the ponies in the paddock rubbing against the post holding the water tap and pipe for quite a while, which did leave me wondering about possible contamination. Also, as the water is at the lower end of the site it means you are pulling water uphill if you are pitched at the top. This is OK if you are fit. Six vans on site a couple of times while we were there. The road outside the site was noisy at certain times of the day but otherwise it was very quiet indeed. Also the power went off a couple of times as it seems they have a fault at the house somewhere.

A lovely week

The warmest of welcomes awaits you.A lovely couple who are so helpful and kind Although this is 1/2 an acre ,the EHU are well set out , not all together in a row so there is plenty of room. Sloping with great views. We found plenty of places of interest to visit in the area.Fresh eggs were delicious. Thank you

Warm welcome at Old Bridge End

This CL is ideal as a base to visit Durham and explore the surrounding area. We had a warm welcome with information about the area and 6 lovely eggs! It is a sloping site but with good views and plenty of space.

GREAT SITE AND A VERY WARM WELCOME

Wow! A warm welcome is the least I can say about this CL. It is very clean and well organised. The whole family were extremely friendly as were their pets. The Town of Durham is not far away as is Beamish and The Tanfield Railway. We found lots of good eateries i.e. the Cross Keys just across the valley. The family regard nothing as too much trouble when people need help. We thank the family so much for their marvellous hospitality.
