This is a much under rated site. We have just had 4 days there and everything about it was perfect for us. Located only 2 or 3 miles from Helmsley it sits up and away from the main road overlooking fabulous scenery with a village and pub only a short walk or drive away. Its perfect for visiting most of historic sites in North Yorkshire as well as giving easy access to some fabulous moorlands on quiet roads. The country side around has many splendid walks and site benefits from sun to most caravans nearly all day, and the sunsets are fabulous. If you want a tranquil place to relax and unwind this is the place to go.
The welcome here was very helpful but I have only given it four ticks as it is also ease of arrival and the last three quarters of a mile is single track so a bit hair raising if you meet anything. The site is a very level orchard with views through the gaps in the hedge and fence out over farmland. There were no outward signs of farming taking place and the whole site was tranquil. One of my favourite events was watching the pheasant come each evening to fly up into the apple tree to roost and each night we heard owls. There are several bird boxes in the trees. The farm house is right next to the site with the water and waste and the elsan emptying point a little further away in a field. The toilet is also at the farm without hand washing facilities. I imagine that it is picturesque in spring with the fruit trees in blossom but we had the downside of apples all over the grass in October. Only two miles from Helmsley and three quarters of a mile from an excellent farm shop, this makes an excellent site for anyone who wants rural.
