 I'm only staying 2 nights but the site has been brilliant. Had the option of electric hookup, washing up facilities with instant hot running water and a very clean shower/toilet.
It is worth noting that there is only one shower and two toilets on the site, but this is plenty. Everyone on the site was lovely and the owner was on hand to help as soon as I arrived, even with a print out of local walks in the area which was a lovely touch.

Couldn’t get onto a club site, not sure why I pay membership when there are little diamonds like this site. Beautiful location with lovely walks to suit everyone, good clean and fresh facilities.
Family run and very friendly. An ideal stop over just off the A66 but secluded enough for peace and tranquillity. Very friendly chickens nearly got to know them by name.
Nearest town is a couple of miles away, Barnard castle, where you can shop, visit the castle and walk by the River Tees. Value for money.
Lovely, going back soon.

Cosy little site with hot showers. Facilities spotless.
Owners extremely helpful. Slightly sloping site with plentiful dog walks from farm. Slight noise from A66 but not a problem.

I'd like to be really enthusiastic about this site, as the owners have tried their best, but they're trying to make a silk purse out of the proverbial sow's ear.
The field was quite soggy when we arrived, with some standing water in the long(ish) grass. The 4 EHU's are along one side, with a slight downward slope. There are 2 "cosy" toilets and one shower, plus good facilities for fresh, grey and black water and a small washing up area. We needed waterproof walking shoes to go to these facilities.
So far, so manageable, but the "sow's ear" is the day and night noise from the traffic on the (almost) adjacent A66. If you're immune to such problems then it's a nice location and there's a pub which serves food within easy walking distance

Just returned from a weekend stay at this site and we will definitely be returning.
There was ample space for the kids to play, they loved all the rabbits and birds.
There was some lovely walks from the site, fabulous views,
The facilities were nice and clean, shower was hot, and all at a great price, what more could you ask for?!

Plenty of space to roam. Lovely walks including a stream for kids to wade in.
Toilet facilities very clean.
Owners very helpful.
Will be returning hopefully later this year.
Lovely castle ruins and pub within walking distance for all ages and abilities.

Fantastic newly opened site. Excellent facilities.
Owners really helpful.
Good for dog walking as loads of open spaces and a river.
Nice walk into the village to the local pub.
Will definitely be returning soon.

Fairly even ground with EHU for 5 units. No shower but washbasin with hotwater and one flush loo on site (adequate if your caravan has its own facilities ie loo / shower / hotwater).
Very friendly proprietors and area very clean and pretty. Good views across valley and of Bowes Castle from further down the field. Open location therefore little shelter and quite prone to winds.
Didn't visit the local pub which was within walking distance - village very quiet and campsite easily accessible.
Would be more than happy to visit again.
