Liked: Oh my… that view… gorgeous view of fields and sea in the distance. Stunning. I loved the drive down the dirt road… felt like I was heading for the middle of nowhere… perfect 👌 Loved the part outdoor showers. Facilities were immaculately clean. Had enough signal to get by but also limited to make me put the phone down. Great open space for children to play in. We visited Beamish and Seaham, all in a reasonable drive
Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Liked: What a wonderful little site, just a stones throw from the beautiful Durham coast and the neighbouring town of Seaham. The owners of the site were extremely accommodating and checked in regularly on use during our stay. We will definately be returning during the summer
Disliked: No hot water in toilet block or wash up area however the showers were nice and hot so it was there where it counts and there was access to a kettle for boiled water if needed.
