We have just returned from a week at this site and it was fantastic. The site itself is well laid out and the wardens are very friendly and helpful, the toilet block was always kept clean, there is a bit of road noise but nothing too intrusive it certainly didn't bother us. The site is in an excellent location just a 5 minute drive takes you to the lovely city of Durham with its beautiful castle and cathedral also there are plenty of shops and restaurants in the city. Newcastle is also close by and is well worth a visit to see the bridges and the city centre is packed full of shops, pubs etc. We also visited the Maritime Musuem at Hartlepool which was brilliant they have a fully restored battle ship from the 1800s so it is well worth a visit. Overall a great site in an excellent location we hope to return some time soon
