A little gem.

Have just had two nights here, absolutely perfect. 5 huge hard standings all with hook up and water. Loads of space with views over the surrounding countryside. Located at the back of the Crown Public House, which is lovely, great food and beer, with a beer garden at the rear. Dogs welcome in the pub also. A friendly welcome from the owners, easy access in and out and a lovely clean and pleasant toilet and shower. The Tees Valley railway walk is just behind the site and a pleasant stroll to Romaldkirk one way and Middleton Teasdale the other. This is a perfect CL, will definitely visit again.

A fabulous little site

Stayed 3 nights in freezing cold weather but a lovely warm welcome from the landlady/owner on arrival, and indeed every time we met. Huge gravel pitches with own water and electricity, enabling you to pitch your unit for the best view. Added bonus is the pub food and ambience. We had a fabulous meal Saturday night and drinks in front of a roaring log fire another night. Mickleton is easily accessible from the A1 and within a few miles of some lovely places. We went to Barnard Castle and Bowes Museum for the Christmas market (south of Mickleton) and also had a walk from Low Force to High Force waterfalls, north of Mickleton with parking at Bowlees Visitor Centre, or car park next to High Force Hotel if preferred, with a 2 mile, easy riverside walk between them. A short but lovely stay at this site. We shall return.

Super CL, beautiful walks and surroundings with the bonus of being a pub serving excellent food and beers

Stayed at this fabulous CL for 5 nights, early October. The site is located at the rear of the pub car park which is enclosed by a dry stone wall with gated entrance. The pitches are really large hard standing areas, separated by grass which is cut every week and each having electric and water supplies. A shower and toilet attached to the pub with outside access exclusive to the CL users. Dog walking in the village and then down the nearby disused railway is very good. We ate at the pub on a number of occasions where the food and choice is excellent. Would I stay here again? already planning the next trip.

Great little find

Lovely CL at the rear of a fabulous pub serving specialty beers, good wines and great food. Gets very busy so book. The site is far enough away from any pub noise, easy enough access to extra large hard standings. Water and electric to each pitch with wonderful rural views on three sides. Well maintained grounds with grass areas for sitting on during good weather. Large bin for rubbish and well constructed toilet sluice and area for grey waste disposal which doesn't involve trying to lift a full container as on some sites. This area is well screened from the rest of the site and not just an afterthought. Plenty of dog friendly pubs in the area the Moorcock Inn at Eggleston is one but many more. Great to stay in the summer months but would be very good in winter months because the access and pitches are well drained. Pitch 5 has the largest grass area, pitch one the least. Will definitely be here again.

Excellent CL & Pub - if only all CL's had these standards!

Stayed for a 2rd visit to The Crown at Mickleton. Excellent, if only to enjoy fine food in the pub. Unfortunately one of our nights was a Monday when it is closed - the owners must have some time off! But we enjoyed a superb meal on the 2rd night. Everything is as it should be on the ideal CL site - even down to a sliding sign on the gate to indicate if the shower/toilet is in use! Another pub down the road but this too was closed so we had to open a bottle of wine on the first night. Hoping it doesn't get too popular in the CL as we want to return. Note the compact, cute micro barn which is useful if friends visiting. Thank You for a super stay!

Great CL

Checking in was very easy on this site. The spaces are enormous and have own water and electric point. The views surrounding everywhere are beautiful. The Crown, which is a minutes walk, is a great pub with really lovely meals. Service is brilliant. Nice walks starting just down the road on the old railway. We would thoughly recommend this site to anyone looking for a holiday in this area.

Lovely surroundings with superb facilities and food in the pub

We booked this site on our way north to Scotland but wished we had planned to stay longer. Site well laid out, tucked up behind The Crown pub in the centre of the village, offering water and electric to each pitch and designated heated shower/WC for caravaners. We eat in the pub as we were only there for one night, superb freshly cooked food with a different choice of food for pub food, more like fine dining....we had pigeon breat for our main course which was delicious. We will be back for longer next time, if only to eat in the pub.

Fabulous

Just returned from 5 days here with our 5 dogs. Absolutely loved it. Owners helpful but unobtrusive. Site immaculate and peaceful. Plenty of dog walks off site. Lovely location. Can't wait to return.

Weekend Retreat

Stayed on this site late February, weather was best on the drive to the location (please follow directions on site, unlike myself who followed the Sat Nav). Site was already full but the pitches are large enough that plenty of space to pitch without effecting other users. Hard standing pitches all level, as water went into Aqua roll it came from the Sky also. That said lovely view over the field with cattle in the distance. We visited the pub for a meal on the first evening, as others have already mentioned, food was gorgeous, staff were friendly and just a small walk back to the van meaning even in the poor weather we could both enjoy the alcohol. Shower and toilet in site was always clean and warm, only small issue is the plaque for letting us know if the shower is vacant or engaged, other users didn't alter meaning a long period time wasted thinking the room was being used, please be considerate. Overall a little gem,and at only 40mins away we will definitely be regular visitors.
