"Our first stay at this lovely neat tidy site. Abbey ruins are a treat to wonder around. Good dog walking field alongside river. Facilities are good and well organised for virus isolation. To be picky, the showers we used were a bit weak (compared to those at other sites we've used), and it was unpleasant to have grass cuttings piled next to our slot (smell not nice in hot weather). "

Tip:
"Best to view abbey ruins towards end of day or early morning when general public visitors are not there.

River good for bird watchers."

Would Recommend: Yes

"Everything done over the internet. Simple and easy from payment and choosing pitch. Because of the virus situation we chose to use our own on board facilities which suited us fine. A very quiet and pleasant break with no issues at all. We have used this site many times because of the perfect location and the surrounding beauty to be enjoyed."

Tip:
"There are some enjoyable walks along the river, the nature reserve behind Frankland Prison and for the fitter of folk the walk into Durham City Centre. Plus the Arniston Centre isn't far away. For those that like to enjoy a meal out there is a Hungry Horse just up the road. Beamish Museum isn't far. Felt very safe from what is going on at the moment. We'll be back. "

Would Recommend: Yes
