York, North Yorkshire, England
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked A great little site, upon arrival we was welcomed by the owner Andrew, who was very helpful and informative, explaining where the facilities were located and also giving us information around the local area and routes into York. He had even created a hub for information, containing various useful information such as bus timetables, walking routes, a selection of books, dvd's that you could borrow along with places to visit and how to get there.
The site was very well laid out, with spacious flat pitches, with views out to fields and woodlands. Making it a very relaxing and chilled weekend stay.
There were also two resident Peacocks, that liked to come and say hello in the early evening, which was lovely to see.
The weather was very kind to us, so we hopped on the bus into York on the Saturday, the bus stop was right outside the site entrance which was a big positive. The ticket was £3 each way to York and return, you could either pay cash or card, and our little dog travelled free on both journeys.
The bus took around 30mins to travel into the centre, which was great given that it was on a Saturday, and York was so busy with people being out enjoying the beautiful weather.
The site was easy accessible, located directly off a B-road which wasn't particularly busy but I did find it to be a fast stretch of road.
As we were only there for the weekend (2 nights) we didn't venture out of the site on foot, but what we did see, the nearby village where the village pub and local tearooms were located was a couple of miles away and you had to walk on the grass verge along the road, which we saw quite a few people walking the route during, but I wouldn't have liked to walk the route in the dark.
The site is also with fairly close proximity to the shopping outlet, of which we didn't visit, but had we stayed longer, we would have visited.
I would definitely recommend this lovely site to others and I would also return to the site.
Disliked No dislike for the site, as the site was lovely and we knew what we were coming to, but my only negative is that because we like to park up and walk, without walking at the side of the road they didn't appear to be many walking routes around that avoided walking on the roadside.
