Loved staying here at Teesdale Barnard Castle. The site is beautifully laid out, very well-equipped and extremely peaceful. On arrival, we were greeted warmly by Jan, who was most helpful and flexible. As this was a recent stay, the site was not particularly busy, so we had quite a few fully serviced pitches to choose from. We decided on a more established pitch 50 metres from the main facilities block. The pitch was level and spacious with easy access and close to the nearest service points too. If you choose one of the new fully serviced pitches created last year on the old dog exercise field, the walk to the main block is a minimum 200 metres. The new legacy dog exercise field is compact but adequate. The walk into Barnard Castle is downhill and 15 mins maximum using the main road and 20 minutes if you go via the nature reserve. We found the uphill walk back to site OK, but some visitors could struggle. Had a great meal at the Fox and Hounds at Cotherstone. Highly recommended. All in all - a great site and a lovely visit in a nice area.
