Cowslip Farm

Likte: The wood fired hot tub was a real delight and was the "jewel in the crown" of our Easter stay! The abundance of wood supply for our stay was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed having the hot tub which we used on all of our 3 nights. The location and ease to get to York was great. We got the bus from the village (15 min walk) to York which are every 15 mins and got an Uber back (£12) for ease. The village had a few local pubs and we were made to feel welcome. The owners of the site were reassuringly on-hand if needed.

Likte ikke: The facilities were slightly lacking and thankfully the site was quiet so we were not impacted by only 1 toilet and shower but in total fairness to the owners - they say these are the facilities from the outset and if this is a problem, don't stay here. The shower was hot.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your review. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the hot tub. The shower/wc block was re decorated last week ready for a busy season and I’m sorry it’s not heated….however we do advertise this. Hopefully we’ll welcome you again during warmer months.

Likte: Peaceful, great host, clean toilet.

Likte ikke: Layout not great for camper with awning felt guilty for muddying grass also can’t see van when in hot tub. Pitch layout just needs amending.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your review. Please don’t worry about the grass it can’t be helped with the continuous rain the whole country has experienced for months now. The pitch is in continuous use and is holding up well. The hard standing is two or three meters maximum from the hot tub which is screened for privacy and offers far reaching views across open countryside which is preferable than looking at a caravan/motorhome. Fir fire safety reasons the pitch could not be any closer. We have landscaped the pitch to maximise privacy and views and can reassure visitors that the pitch is more than large enough for tents, caravans/motorhomes with awnings. I find the 8/10 rating for accommodation amusing as you travelled in your own campervan 🤣!!

Likte: Simply brilliant

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your review. The shower/wc block was re decorated last week ready for a busy season. As a small site there is a limit to the amount of facilities we offer. Caravan/motorhome owners can always choose to use their own facilities during busier months. Hopefully we’ll welcome you back in the future.

Likte: Absolutely loved Cowslip farm. We booked the hot tub pitch and loved the added luxury it gave to camping. The location was ideal for us with hectors of land to explore with our four legged family. 100% would recommended and will definitely be returning.

Likte: The owner was friendly

Likte ikke: The most expensive site we have ever stayed in at £65 per night and the worst. Shower room had no heating and was filthy, this is basically a site in a farmyard. Booked for 2 nights and left after 1.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your somewhat inaccurate review of your recent visit. The pitch is more expensive than you would find on a traditional’ campsite because visitors are paying for the luxury of a hot tub. A facility not available on the majority of sites across the UK. We include within the price all the wood required as well as the means to light it. To put this into context a pitch during winter is £30 per night, we are therefore providing visitors the use of a hot tub for £35. Two night hot tub holidays in a conventional holiday home would start at over £300 in this area in the lead up for Christmas. Our prices provide great value for money given the use of the tub. Where does it advise the shower block is heated? If travelling in winter and this is a personal must have requirement then I would advise you to check before booking next time or don’t travel in winter. The shower/wc facilities, whilst basic, are absolutely not filthy. Not up to you high standards though and for this our apologies. Your comment as to the location is wholly untrue. The campsite is set to the rear of the farm and offers uninterrupted views across open farmland.

Likte: Really nice pitch ideally located 20 minutes drive into York for a lovely day out, hot tub is a treat clean, nice experience making your own fire to heat it up, out in the fields low light pollution on a clear night see all the stars, will definitely be staying again. The farmer seemed a nice helpful bloke.
