Bonners Lodge B & B & Touring Caravan Park - Consett

Kathryn Wright

We stayed at this lovely place for 2 nights in a motorhome and wished we had booked longer, it was an absolutely pleasure to stay here.
Michelle the owner is a star, really lovely lady chatty and full of information should you need it, she showed us round the site and all the amenities provided.
Lots of lovely touches from a games room, books and some wonderful animals to keep you company.
Only 10 pitches, 2 of which have a gated area which was brilliant for our dog to roam free in and sniff the goats! Shower was lovely and warm, spotlessly clean and a hair drier provided also.
There are some lovely walks available from the site and it’s so peaceful and quiet a fantastic place to relax and escape the madness of everyday life.
Can’t wait to return in the future.xx

Liked: The location to the A68 was perfect. The site was peaceful with friendly welcoming owners.
Good dishwashing area with detergent provided.
Plenty bins around the site.
Dog facilities were good, however, not sure it surrounded by different animals in fields.
Decent sized pitches.

Disliked: Not sure about the dog exercise area in the middle of animals (goats, lamas and horse etc) who were all fenced in their own areas but not sure that some bread of dogs would cope with the sensory overload.
The shower itself was good, plenty hot water and no push button, however, I'm not a fan of shower curtains and this one continually stuck throughout showering.
Relatively small site and would be easy enough to make the pitches fully serviced.

Liked: What an absolute delight to stay at Bonner's Lodge. Everything you will need for a quiet stay in a beautiful rulral setting surrounded by variuos animals ... My son especially enjoyed the interacting with the animals the following morning. Michelle the owner brought all the animals up to our motorhome so we could expericence them close up... from goats to very large sheep!! alpakos.. and the best for my son was a ride on the beautiful Donkey... he loved it...
Pitches and facilities are brilliant.
Thank you to Michelle for making our stay very enjoyable.

Disliked: Nothing negitive to say... loved our stay.

Liked: Bonners Lodge is a rare gem of a campsite. Set in beautiful rural surroundings every pitch has a stunning 360 degree view of rolling hills and gorgeous countryside. The pitches are all beautifully appointed with hard standing and electric hook up. The facilities are pristine and very generous with complimentary hand creams and hairdryers. There is a games room with table tennis, pool and table football and a generous library of books all of which are also complimentary. A camp kitchen is also available for use. At night the whole site is beautifully lit by hundreds of fairy lights. Add to this the company of Ray the donkey and his pals (goats, pony and alpacas) and a superb children’s play area and you get the idea that this is a really uniquely lovely site to stay at ……. and I’ve not even mentioned the super warm welcome from the owners!! We just loved it

Liked: We arrived later on in the day and was greeted with a warm welcome, we loved how it had a games room with a pool table and soft seating to relax a bit, Michelle the owner was so nice, friendly and brought out her farm animals in the morning for claps. Really enjoyed this wee gem of a place. We hope to return next year with friends. Also the wifi was great!!

Disliked: Could do with more toilets but they were really clean and fresh looking

Liked: Everything! What a delightful site. It really did make my granddaughters first camping trip extra special. A hidden gem in a beautiful countryside setting. The pitches are a fantastic size, the toilets/showers spotlessly clean, the playroom an added bonus and interaction with the beautiful animals just topped the whole stay off. Great value, great staff and great facilities, we will be back.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing to dislike.

Liked: Compact but spacious safe site with good views of site and better views of surroundings. Pitch had large picnic table and chairs supplied as well as a fire pit both included with wood to burn at back of pitch. The animal interactions dialy are great for the kids and adults. Small play area but plenty to do. Large climbing frame, swing ball, seesaw and swing aswell as a football goal. Small bridge leads into the woods with a hut with sheep for company. Secure dog area to let dogs off for a run and plenty toys in there for them. Games room was a life saver on a rainy misty day. We have a 2 YO and a baby so was a great space to feed the baby while our toddler played. It was equipped with many toys including bouncer for a baby, dolls house, lego, tracks, dolls & buggy - so much. It also has a pool table, table tennis for older kids. The kitchen area had a sink with cleaning products and a fridge, kettle and toaster. You could easy spend the day in this room with the kids as they have so much to do. It also had A TV with DVDs avaliable & a book case and games avaliable. Toilets were clean, always had toiletries avaliable. The people who owned the Lodge were friendly, welcoming and clearly cared about their business and their customers thoughts

Disliked: High altitude so therefore you get the wind. Bring a coat.

Liked: Absolutely charming site! The owners could not have been more friendly, we were met at the gate and shown to the toilets/showers, kitchen area and games room, then our pitch. My children (6&11) were delighted to find our neighbours were goats, a pony and alpacas! Some lovely other families on site, this is truly a gem of a site and we will definitely return!
Meeting Ray the donkey and having a quick ride was a definite highlight!
