Really good gift

Received as Xmas gift. Booking was trouble free. The pod we had was lovely and clean. Had double bed, fridge, kettle and toaster. Take your own bedding, towels. Toilet and showers were really clean and tidy. Yes I certainly would recommend Bainside camping and fishing. Really nice place. Will be returning.

Amazing trip

Tenby did not disappoint and the Broadmead boutique B&B was lovely. Spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need and the best cooked breakfast ever. Staff were friendly and bent over backwards to help. We could not have hoped for better weather and the icing on the cake was that I was able to visit my old teacher training college (now part of Cardiff university) on the way home. I had not been near it since I left in 1982 and it was lovely to see very little had changed. Our daughter had bought us the two night stay for Christmas and it was definitely a great choice.

Excellent value

Forresters is set in charming Middleton in lovely Teesdale and near many other attractions such as Raby castle. The rooms are very comfortable with excellent beds, the food is top quality French cuisine at ordinary prices or standard food such as burgers or chilli con carne if you want that instead. The bar is friendly and good value and Franck a great host. If you want quieter rooms away from the bar just ask. This is one of the loveliest and best value places in the UK and Middleton itself is a friendly unspoilt large village still with a wide range of facilities, including several excellent cafes, pharmacy and supermarket, that you wouldn’t normally expect nowadays even in much larger places and where the community is a good mix including of all ages.
