Squires Cafe Bar

Liked Big camping field with lots of space. Convenient for where we needed to be.

Disliked The toilets and showers were a bit tired. Flood lights from the car park were rather bright. Could only find one tap and it was a long way from where we pitched.

Liked Squires is a popular bikers' café/bar and the clientele reflects this - if you're looking for a chat about bikes and similar, the rest of the customers will happily include you. The site is easy to find and only a few minutes from the A1 and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food available is pub-grub and there's a wide selection of options, also various snacks, cakes and pastries on the bar. The camping pitches are behind the café building so away from the comings and goings of other visitors.

The site has the facilities you'd want, including showers, washrooms and toilets, and even a bike accessories shop. According to the various posters showing around the place, there is often entertainment provided at the weekend but not during my stay.

Disliked Two drawbacks that you don't necessarily notice on arrival but definitely detract from the experience:

First, there's a train track just behind the hedge that runs along the side of the camping field. Trains pass every 30 minutes or so and sound their horns, which creates some disturbance. Later in the evening, this seems to stop and you think your sleep will be undisturbed but at 5.30 the next morning, to find that the trains reappeared! Take earplugs!

Secondly, as I arrived, I got talking to my "camper next door" and we ended up sharing a few drinks. Both of us were surprised when we returned to our tents later to notice an appalling smell of sewage. It hadn't been there when we pitched our tents but it stayed for the next two days. (Now, this might have been a result of the long drought affecting the sewer systems at the time, as I noticed during my rides around that most of South Yorkshire seemed to have acquired an unpleasant smell, so maybe this was a temporary problem.)

Oh, and finally, no wi-fi available

Liked Great price, great view, fun biker vibe. Loved the access to the fur field plus very Decent facilities. Staff were really accommodating when we asked to move onto the grass pitch rather than proper caravan homes section. (the grass pitch was a bit nicer for views)

Disliked Check in was a little bumpy as the cafe staff seemed unsure about a few things, but nothing major.
