Excellent stay

Currently on our 4th night here, home tomorrow. It's our first visit here but certainly won't be our last. Right from the exceptionally warm welcome it has been an excellent stay. The site is very well placed with the pleasant Barnard Castle (Barny) a 15-20 minute walk away. The wardens are a very friendly couple and the site is kept immaculate, love the warm floor in the toilet block. Many good walks can be found down the river and we will explore more on our next visit. It has been a real gem of a find and only 100 miles from home, we will be back ??

Nice site but awful flushing loos

We stayed here for 3 nights 3-6 March. It was our first time at the site. The check in was efficient and courteous and we were on our Super Pitch within a few minutes of our arrival. Good, well drained and maintained pitches. Lots of excellent places to visit in the Tees Valley and some fine pubs nearby. We enjoyed our stay here very much, except for the toilets. While the toilet block is new and kept very clean, the toilets systerns take an unbelievable time to fill up. It's the same for the men and women. We complained to the site wardens and they explained that the fill water for the toilets is rain water. It is a "Green" system, but unfortunately the water pressure is so low that it takes about 8 minutes for a systern to fill. Hardly practical at peak times, especially if the loo needs a second flush., primitive and unhygienic. I'm sure that the people who designed this system, do not have to use it. They are the slowest filling toilets we have ever come across, anywhere. It's awful and has not been thought through fully. A shame really, as we liked the site and the staff. Not sure we'll ever want to use the loos again though.

Best site welcome ever.

We arrived without booking and were treated to an excellent welcome. Lots of information about the site, local walks and Barnard Castle itself and even got some discount vouchers for local exhibitions. The site is a maximum 15 minutes walk from the town and castle, which was perfect for us. The town is well worth the visit.  The site was pristine in every respect with excellent wash/toilet facilities. We've already recommended it to several friends and will definitely stay again although for a longer period.

Walkers and dogs paradise

Poppy our dog loved the dog walk area, it's a field so she could have a really good run about.  There are also plenty of walks to do from Barnards Castle so you don't need to move the car. The Fox and Hound in Cotherstone makes a great pit stop for food and drink.  The wardens obviously take pride in the site as it was very well kept and looked after. There is a road right next to the site but it was quiet when we were sat in the caravan.  We will definitely return here as there are still places we didn't have time to go.

Warm, clean but not great for families

The staff and facilities at this site were, as usuak absolutely faultless.  Lovely warm, welcoming and helpful staff and spotless, warm facilities.  10/10 with regards to these. The play area was highly rated by my 9 yr old son too. However, the site is within site of a Young Offender's Institution which was noisy throughout the day with heavy machinery clearly audible and then, after dark, the inmates can be clearly heard shouting to each other from their cells.   The site is sparse and barren with little hedging or trees and therefore resembles a car park, albeit with lots of room on each pitch and therefore between vehicles. Whilst the walk into Barnard Castle was pleasant and only about a mile or so.  However the road is busy, there is no safe footpath and it is unlit which makes it dangerous for families choosing to walk to town. I don't recommend this site for families

Brilliant Site

One of the best sites I have stayed at, perfect for dog walking, excellent service and extremely pleasant and friendly staff. Great mobile chippy, will be booking often next year. An absolute credit to the Caravan Club. Val Kotecki

King of the castles

Lovely clean site in countryside, yet within an easy walk into town, with castle ruins, pubs and restaurants, together with independent retailers - great fun!

Relaxing Site with Local Amenities

We love this site. Friendly and helpful wardens and immaculate facilities. The centre of Barnard Castle is only a 15 minute walk with all the shops you need and for those members with dogs The Golden Lion pub is very welcoming.  We cannot understand why the local parish council won't allow the site to open all year round- we and no doubt other members would be happy to come here in December to visit the town in a festive atmosphere- you'd think in these current uncertain economic times they would be glad of the extra revenue which it would bring to the town! Roll on next spring!

Very good site

This is one of the best caravan clubs we have stayed at as and must have one of the best on site dog walks, well done to the very pleasant wardens. Only one drawback with Barnard Castle, although they have plenty of places to eat out in, the pubs stop serving food for the day at 3pm
