Visitor Reviews of Witton Castle Country Park

Emma Carter
Date of stay: 30th October 2024
Perfect getaway spot, super peaceful and relaxing for a weekend.
Emily
Date of stay: 23rd October 2024
We had a really nice stay! The caravan was tidy and had most things we needed, though there was no dishwasher or washing machine, so just a heads up. What made the trip special was the site itself and the facilities, which were great for our little one. Thanks for a lovely break - we’ll definetly be coming back!
Emma
Date of stay: 9th October 2024
Really enjoyed our stay, the caravan was cosy and had all the essentials, including a bath!

Date of stay: 25th September 2024
We stayed in this lovely modern caravan and it was spotlessly clean and super comfy. The shower was great, though the mattress was a touch thin, but still fine. Nice facilities with a full fridge freezer and washing machine, really appreciated it!
Emma
Date of stay: 5th September 2024
We really enjoyed our stay! The caravan felt just like home and the surroundings are absolutely stunning too.
Sam
Date of stay: 12th August 2024
Beautiful spot, really quiet and calming. Perfect for a chill or active break.
Emma
Date of stay: 7th August 2024
We had a lovely stay! The place was spotless and very well organised, which we appreciated. Plenty of seating for everyone and most of the equipment was there, which made it easy. The shower was excellent and the 4G signal was reliable, a lifesaver with teenagers. Only thing was no tea towels or cleaning supplies and the mattress was a bit too thin, you could feel the springs through it.

Date of stay: 22nd June 2024
The new caravan was lovely, but the oven tray and a pot were pretty dirty - clearly not cleaned well beforehand. I told reception when we left, so hopefully that’ll be sorted for the next guests.
Sam
Date of stay: 22nd May 2024
Really comfy and spotless place, though I wish there was a vacuum for better cleaning.
Emma
Date of stay: 19th May 2024
We had a really lovely stay at this modern holiday home. It’s super well equipped, with everything we needed and we especially appreciated the little area just inside the door to hang coats and change shoes - very handy! The central heating was straightforward to operate and warmed up quickly, which was great. There were plenty of pots, pans and cutlery, but we couldn't believe there were no scissors! The shower worked well, though a non-slip mat would’ve been a nice safety addition. The covered balcony at the front was a quirky touch, perfect for watching squirrels play. We’d definitely come back!
Emma Roberts

Not the worst, but definitely not the best.

Really enjoyed our stay, the place was comfy and well located.

We stayed in one of the newer caravans and I have to say, it was a lovely little home away from home. Super clean and cosy - perfect for our family. The location near the castle was ideal for us. That said, winter visits mean quite a few facilities are closed, which wasn’t immediately clear since there are no signs outside or in the welcome pack telling you what’s open. We eventually figured out the bar is open, but possibly only until 5pm some nights? The coffee shop is open from 10 to 4, which was handy. Sadly, the restaurant and fish and chip shop are closed in the colder months. Reception closes at 3pm during winter, but check-in isn’t until 4pm, so it’s worth calling ahead to see if you can get an earlier check-in. Also, there are no rubbish bins near the caravans, so you have to walk all the way to the castle with your trash - a bit of a pain. Dog waste bins are dotted along the main roads and were kept empty during our stay. The staff we met were friendly, even if not many around in winter. Weather was pretty awful, but that’s not Witton Castle’s fault! Overall, a good base for us, just be prepared for some closed facilities.

Comfortable space, modern and bright

Really enjoyed this peaceful country park. It’s perfect for families with young kids, though teenagers might be bored. No WiFi!
Claire
Date of stay: 1st July 2023
We loved Gatehouse View for the stunning scenery and peaceful vibe. It’s perfect if you want quiet and great views. It’s a bit of a walk from the castle, which might be tricky for older visitors, but parking at the castle is plentiful. Honestly, we couldn’t find anything to complain about here. Top spot!
Harriet
Date of stay: 26th June 2023
Really loved staying in this lovely caravan, spotless!
Emma
Date of stay: 30th April 2023
We found you really do need your own towels, which was a bit of a surprise. Also, when using sat nav for D14 0DE, don’t forget Sloshes Lane-otherwise, you’ll end up doing a few extra laps around Witton Wear! Had a good laugh watching the hot air balloon and that cheeky peacock while we played crazy golf. Brilliant trip!
