Date of Visit: March 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Campbell418 2 reviews from this member

 Visited this site in march our first outing this year what a lovely site. All pitches are very spacious and level, shower block was clean and plenty of hot water for your 20p.

We have two dogs and do a lot of walking so this site was ideal a good size dog walking field and plenty of walks in surrounding area.

The owners were very friendly and we had a choice of pitches to choose from, also it is so quiet, we loved this site and are definitely returning.

 Third visit here over 4 years. Lovely quite site, nice level pitches with plenty of space between pitches, very clean showers(20p) and loos, indoor 'pot wash' with loads of hot water and very pleasant owners.

No play facilities for young children, so site more suitable for couples or families with grown kids!

Nice easy walk along old railway line, either to Cotherstone or Romaldkirk, each about a 4 mile round trip.

Public footpath walks from Cotherstone down to river, yet to be explored on a future visit.

Excellent food at The Fox and Hounds in Cotherstone, both in terms of quality and quantity, I couldn't face one of their several home made pudding after the main meal. Lovely coal fire in the bar for that cold March night.

 This site is a delightful peaceful retreat. The Lamb family are very helpful and approachable. The site is always immaculate and well looked after. There are hard-standing pitches for caravans and motorhomes along with level grass pitches with lots of open space for kids to play. There are 2 toilet blocks along with a laundry and pot wash area, all are well maintained, clean and warm.

The reception area is well stocked with tourist information and a reading book exchange too.

Cotherstone has a Village Shop / Post Office which sells Newspapers, Post Cards, Groceries etc.

If you don't want to use the car, from the site you can join various footpaths along the river or over the moors, cycle routes along the old railway or catch a bus (at the site entrance) into Cotherstone, Barnard Castle or Middleton in Teesdale.

If you fancy a pint then head into Cotherstone to the Fox & Hounds, the food is delicious too.

Does Park is well worth a visit, pre-booking is advisable as it is a very popular site.

Reviewer: Steve B32 1 review from this member

 Had our first visit here back in September 2009,and what a pleasant place to stay,from the owner to everything about the site.

Everything was perfect and the staff could do nothing more to help us with anything we needed.

Will be spending a few weekends here as it is close to home and such a relaxing place to be,toilets and everything were spotless.

So give the site a try and enjoy what we have,electric and water were close,as were the shower toilet and wash up area's,which were spotless.

 Just returned from doe park after a fantastic long weekend in beautiful surroundings and gorgeous autumn weather. This site is a real gem with friendly owners and lovely clean facilities.

Great walks,pubs,shopping and countryside in this area. We had grass pitch which was well mown and level with electric hook-up and only £12 per night for 2 adults, car and electric.

Date of Visit: October 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Mullaney 1 review from this member

 This site is excellent. We try to visit two to three times a year and would not change location. Ideal for families with large expanse of grass for children to play on. Hard standing for caravan means ideal in any weather.
Toilet and shower facilities are always immaculate. Site owners are some of the most helpful people you could wish to meet. Local village has nice pub and local store selling fresh bread, milk, meat etc and daily papers. Excellent walks from the caravan site and only a short drive to Barnard Castle. Highly recommended to all.

Reviewer: Lydon16 13 reviews from this member

 We arrived at this site when it was dark as we left straight after work, the warden was very helpful and just told us to get set up and we will sort out things with him in the morning. The site was spotless, toilets and showers were lovely and clean and nice hot showers. The site was great for our 3 children (2, 9, 15 yrs). We had a spot just as you arrived on the site and was ideal for the kids, we could sit out the front and they could play on the big area of grass in front of us and you knew they were safe. We will definitely be back this year as its nice and handy for us for weekends.

Reviewer: Nightstar678 2 reviews from this member

 We love this site and have been going on and off for about 3 years with our tourer. The site itself is well thought out and easy to find on the outskirts of Cotherstone.

Toilet block facilities are clean and tidy. Showers are 20p but they have constant hot water and last quite a while. There is ample room around each pitch for car,caravan and awning. However, strong tent pegs are recommended as it can sometimes get slightly windy in the cooler months. Tent area is a little exposed but normally tents are put up near to the tall hedges.

There is no playground for the children, but who needs one when there is a huge field to play rounders, cricket, badminton, football etc in.

Dogs are welcome and have their own designated dog walking area and there are plenty of long walks in and around the area. Reception sells fresh eggs, milk and fresh orange juice. If you need extra groceries I would recommend a trip to Barnard Castle 'Morrisons' as the local shop is a little expensive and limited. Remember to take change with you when you park in Morrison's Carpark as it is a pay and display.

 What a fantastic site. They are very friendly and make you very welcome. Has a fantastic accessible heated shower room. The other toilets are good with lashings of hot water in the showers and are wonderfully heated. Take 20p for the shower. Amazing views. The field is a little bit open but they do everything to make you as comfortable as possible.
