What customers say
This well-located site offers a friendly base for exploring York, with excellent pub food and helpful staff frequently praised. Its proximity to public transport is a key advantage. Some guests found the parking charge steep without facilities, though others received free parking with a pub meal. While most enjoyed the food and welcoming atmosphere, one August reviewer found the welcome brief, the pub closed early, and the parking area basic. The pub's opening hours for food and service on specific days have also been noted.

Welcoming, Safe and the perfect place for a trip to York.
Non-electric gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked Really friendly and helpful. Lovely quiet and safe place to park. The train to York is 5 minutes away and literally 1 stop running every 30 minutes. It was only a brief stop and we didn’t eat but the food looked amazing. Toilets available from 8 in the morning. Will definitely be back. The perfect place for a trip to York.
Disliked As the kitchen staff are in early, perhaps they could offer a breakfast sandwich at extra cost, as there isn’t another breakfast offer that we found in this sleepy beautiful village. Sausage was mentioned on the evening before but nothing official and we didn’t want to bother them in the morning.
