Unpowered grass motorhome site
Liked Amazing little spot right next to the river swale. Stayed on a Sunday so had the whole place! Exactly as advertised, no facilities but no problem, information for access given in good time. Can't give this place enough credit for £10. It might get a little bit crammed if all the bays are in use but again no problem

Liked Serenity on the Swale is a well cared for, very peaceful, pitch on the side of the river.
Jacquie, the owner made us feel very welcome but didn’t intrude on our stay.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your feedback and very much look forward to welcoming you back again Can’t guarantee all that lovely sunshine during your stay though! 😁
Absolutely no facilities so you need to be self sufficient.

Liked No facilities, however this little gem overlooking the river is a tranquil getaway which envelops you in nature (but it's still only a 20mins walk to the village of Topcliffe with 2 great pubs etc).
Fantastic communication from the owner, who does her upmost to make sure you enjoy your stay. Thank you 😍
Disliked Leaving !!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: That is the beauty of having a lovely self contained motorhome like yours! Look forward to welcoming you back soon.
