Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your succinct and sweet review Catherine. We hope you will return.

Likte The site as whole is excellent with clean and warm facilities. Grass field was well maintained. The site is a dark sky area and with clear skies offers fantastic views of the universe.
Staff were friendly and helpful.

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for your review Sean. Great to read that you enjoyed everything about Lakeside and the dark skies above!

Likte The facilities and surrounding countryside was very pretty.

Likte ikke There was no WiFi and barely any phone signal hence no internet and no telly. That said we enjoyed the R&R.

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for reviewing Lakeside Christine. Our location can be very peaceful and relaxing especially for those who want to escape and be 'off grid' for a while. (Oh for the good old days! :)) You have hit upon our 'marmite' issue; our FAQ's do state there is no wifi at Lakeside however, for those that need a daily connection, there is free wi-fi in the grounds of Castle Howard, just a mile away.

Likte Lovely site, well maintained, staff very helpful, good toilet/shower block, excellent positioning of site

Likte ikke The water temperature of the showers/taps took a long time to warm up - my first shower was cold, until I realised that due to the low numbers on site it was just taking a long time to come through.

Fra bestyreren: Hello Jane, thank you for your review of Lakeside. We're pleased you approved of our location and site. As you discovered, when the water has been sitting on a cold night, it can take some time for the hot water to come through the pipes from the boiler; this can take early risers by surprise, however once our team arrive at 9.00 a.m. they will go and check that the water is running hot. We hope to see you again.

Likte Lovely woodland site with some ancient trees. Unique location being so close to Castle Howard. We walked to the courtyard cafe it took about 20 -30 minutes on a path that was set back from the road. All amenities that you would expect on site, friendly staff and a really cute little shop. Had a lovely autumnal break would recommend

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for your review Sue. Lakeside is very handy for both Castle Howard and other attractions in the area. Hopefully you were able to get reception for your mobile phone and make use of the free wi-fi during your visit to Castle Howard.

Likte Spacious pitches. Gorgeous views including beautiful lake. Great sunsets. Friendly staff. Walking distance of Castle Howard with half price entry.

Likte ikke Nothing really. If I am being picky, grass could have done with a cut. Not a criticism of site but for future guests, mobile data signal patchy/poor.

Likte Friendly staff, good clean facilities, dark skies

Likte ikke Quite a bit of road noise unfortunately

Fra bestyreren: Hello Anna. We agree, the dark skies on a clear night are stunning, especially over the lake so we're pleased to read that you enjoyed them. The night time silence of a rural setting, especially whilst under canvas, can be a little unnerving for those not used to it (and also amazing), however, the silence also means that sounds will feel amplified so it's a pity that you were disturbed by occasional traffic.

Likte Site was fine lol, plenty of space, was midweek out of term so very quiet

Likte ikke Showers block is looking pretty dated now but adequate

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your review. We are pleased you had a great stay and enjoyed our location. You are correct that we do not have wifi, which we do state on our website and do not show as a facility on Pitch Up. Some guests enjoy the disconnect from technology but we understand it isn't a positive for everyone. Castle Howard courtyard does have free wi-fi and is only just over a mile away for guests who do want to check in. We're pleased that you enjoyed the quiet and liked our facilities and hope you will return.
