Kedvelték Wife and I camped at Flaxton Meadows for 4nights, we were greeted on arrival and shown to our pitch which was a very good size, showers and toilets where very clean. Onsite bar was very nice along with a covered outside seating area, and the onsite pizza station is a gem.. all the staff are so polite and very welcoming, if you'd fancy a walk they have a folder of many walks you can enjoy. Or ya can just kick off ya shoes and just sit back and relax as it's so peaceful. I could carry on rating Flaxton but why not just book and go you won't be disappointed. We had a peaceful break and would highly recommend, wouldn't hesitate to rebook.

Nem kedvelték Nothing to dislike

Kedvelték The whole vibe!

I tented on my own as a mature female single camper.
I sat in the bar in the evenings and chatted.

The welcome as I arrived was friendly and there were always lots of staff around with friendly smiley faces.

The shower and toilet facilities were new and beautifully clean.

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thank you Dave for taking the time to leave a review and your comments have been noted.

We hope you had a great stay and hope we can welcome you back soon.

Kedvelték Clean site with spacious pitches and water tap on each of the touring pitches.
Excellent toilet and shower block with other facilities such as washing machine.
Nice bar on site and pizza van (although we didn't try the food).

Nem kedvelték The on-site bar closed early on Thursday night but we were told it would be open later at the weekend. Saturday night, despite plenty of customers and the sign with opening times stating closimg at 10.30pm, last orders were called at 9.30pm. When we asked why they were closing early, we were just told it's closing time. We referred them to the sign and simply got a shrug from the barmaid who pointed to the manager. The manager and barmaid were clearly more interested in flirting with each other. (The same manager was flirting with the (different) barmaid on Thursday too). Not to worry, we went back to the van and saved our money. Didn't go in the following night either. Shame as the owner has clearly invested a lot of money in this facility but obviously doesn't realise it's not being utilised to its full potential. Especially as there's nothing else nearby meaning they have a captive audience.

Whilst a lovely site, you need a car to get around. There are no walks nearby or any other facilities. It is next to a quite busy 60mph road (with no footpath), and the nearby rail line has a manually operated level crossing, meaning the frequent trains are required to sound their very loud horns from about 7.30am and throughout the day.

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed several aspects of your visit to our site.

We would, however, like to clarify a few points raised in your feedback. Contrary to your comment, the bar does not close at 9:30pm. Last orders are called at 9:30pm, and the bar officially closes at 10pm. This arrangement is in place out of respect for our neighbouring landowners, specifically due to the racehorses located nearby, and is part of a long-standing gentleman’s agreement with both them and the parish council to support the smooth continuation of our planning permissions.

Regarding your mention of a “manager” being present, there was no manager on duty during your stay—only a member of staff. We also find your suggestion of unprofessional behaviour between staff members to be unfounded and inappropriate. Additionally, your assumption about the staff member’s personal preferences is baseless and unwelcome and could be classed as harmful to our member of staff !

You are correct in noting the significant investment we have made in the site, which is why we were surprised by your claim that there are no local walks. In fact, we have a detailed booklet in the bar listing over 30 walks in the area. Had you asked, our staff would have provided a leaflet or offered guidance.

With regard to the surrounding roads, while there is no designated footpath, like much of rural Britain, there is a 3-metre verge on either side deemed safe for walking. We acknowledge the lane has a speed limit of 60mph, though traffic is generally light.

As for train noise, it is minimal and limited to local services between York and Scarborough, which run infrequently and are rarely considered a disturbance.

It seems that our campsite may not be aligned with your expectations. We appreciate your feedback, but in light of your overall dissatisfaction, we kindly ask that you do not return in the future.

Kind regards,
Reverend and Dr Jonathan Charters-Reid
Campsite Owner and Director
