Beautiful caravan in lovely peaceful surroundings. Great place to relax.
Jodi
Date of stay: 23rd October 2024
Wow, such a lovely place to stay! The caravan was clean and had most of what we needed. The van didn’t have a dishwasher or washing machine so please be aware of that. But what really made our holiday was the site itself and facilities. Perfect for us going away with our toddler. Thank you for a lovely break, we will definitely be back!

So peaceful and relaxing site. Would recommend for a restful or energetic holiday.
Nicola
Date of stay: 7th August 2024
Great holiday- super clean and organised. Enough space for us all to sit and most equipment provided. Great shower. Good 4g signal (important with teenagers). Only niggles no tea towels or cleaning items (maybe that’s my mistake for assuming they would be provided). The mattress was quite thin and you can feel all the springs through it.

Date of stay: 22nd June 2024
Nice new caravan. Oven tray and a pot were dirty, previous occupant obviously didnt clean properly. Mentioned to the Reception when leaving, so would be cleaned properly for any holidaymaker after us.
Keith
Date of stay: 22nd May 2024
Comfortable and clean. No vacuum which meant that the carpet could not be cleaned properly.
Joyce
Date of stay: 19th May 2024
A lovely, modern holiday home, well equipped with everything which we needed. We particularly liked the area just inside the door to hang coats and the seat where we could change from outdoor shoes and store them underneath it.The central heating was easy to use and responded quickly. There were ample pots, pans and cutlery but why no scissors!!The shower was efficient but we would have liked a non-slip mat for the tray for extra safety.The covered balcony at the front was unusual but a good place to sit and watch the squirrels playing.

The caravan was a perfect base close to family. The new caravans are immaculate and cosy. However, a lot of the facilities are not open during the winter months and it is difficult to find what is open as no signs on doors and no opening times in the welcome pack. We sussed out by the end of our stay the bar is open although possibly some nights only until 5pm? The coffee shop is open 10 to 4pm. The restaurant is not open over the winter the fish and chip shop is not open over the winter. Reception closes at 3pm in the winter but check in is at 4pm. Call reception to see if you can get an earlier check in due to this. There are no rubbish bins near the caravans you have to take all rubbish to the castle not ideal. There are dog bins on the main roads spread so far apart which were emptied during our stay. The staff we came across were friendly but not many about at winter. Weather was awful but that's not witton castles fault!

Lovely well kept country park, probably more for adults and young children, nothing for teenagers to do. No WiFi
Jackie
Date of stay: 1st July 2023
Gatehouse View i feel from looking over the site is the best position for views and quietness, a little far from castle to walk for us, but we are elderly and there is plenty of parking at the castle itself. You really cannot fault any thing about this part of the site it is excellent.
Marjorie
Date of stay: 26th June 2023
Beautiful, spotless, well maintained caravan .would certainly recommend.
