Liked Great location, nice little walk to the shop in the village. Site was quiet and clean too and the pitches were spacious. Toilets were kept very clean.
Disliked Would have been nice to have a sink near the toilets to wash your hands. Whilst antibacterial get was provided I always prefer to wash too. Just a personal preference.

Lovely, tranquil setting with plenty of room.
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked We initially booked on the campsite at Castle Howard, but when we arrived it was very overcrowded with little room to pitch.
We had a quick look on Pitch up and found Cotril Farm.
What a lovely, tranquil setting with plenty of space for everyone. Lovely views over the fields and we had a lovely run in the Howardian Hills the day after.
Basic facilities but that didnt matter to us.

Spacious peaceful site with open skies and beautiful views
Unpowered grass motorhome site
Liked Lovely vast field with pitches laid all around the edge. Lovely views of the surrounding hills and good walks from the site. Toilets are portaloos and were spotless my entire visit. Loads of space for kids to play and nice little play area for them. Lots of wildlife - swallows doing acrobatics and birds of prey soaring. You really feel in the middle of nowhere and away from hustle and bustle of everyday life here - completely relaxing.
Disliked It was blissfully quiet/empty for most of my visit but when other campers arrived they were all pitched near each other despite a huge empty field?! Maybe it’s just me but I like to be as remote from neighbours as possible - although I do appreciate maybe that is not the norm?!!

Liked Had a fantastic weekend here! The campsite is very well maintained, simple amenities but well looked after (some of the cleanest portaloos we've been in!) and the views are beautiful, highly reccommend! Absolutely loved sitting out in the morning watching the sheep and swallows in the fields!
Disliked Couldn't fault a thing!
