Excellent CL

I stayed for a night at this CL and really enjoyed it. It's excellent located for adventures in the Yorkshire Dales as it sits just on the outskirts while being close to places for supplies and the like. It even has toilet facilities which is amazing for a CL so it could be used for a relatively long (for a CL) stay. The only downside which is a function of it being a working farm so is to be expected is the working day begins early for the farm, but I wake up early so all was well. That's the only thing I'd note. Otherwise perfect. This was my first trip with the van and I'm learning the ropes - will almost certainly use this CL for further Yorkshire Dales trips.

December visit

An easily accessed site, less than 1 ml off the A 59, and about 3 mls from Harrogate, with a wide entrance and drive. There are 3 well sheltered H/S pitches, one of which we used, as well as those on the grass, plus a WC. From the site there are views over the Nidd valley as far as Brimham Rocks. From the site's entrance pavements go in both directions, to Hampsthwaite, which has 1 pub and a small shop, and Killinghall which has 2 pubs, There are lots of places of interest close by such as Ripley Castle, Brimham Rocks, Knareborough and Harrrogate it's self, as well as good spots for walking especially along the Nidd gorge. The nearest supermarket is Aldi, a couple of miles from the site on the way into Harrogate. The only downside were the noises between 5:30 and 7:00 in the morning, associated with the milking of the cows, however this would not stop us from using the site again.

Excellent site

We recently completed 3 days on this site and found it to be excellent on all counts including value for money. Friendly welcome from host Georgina. Very clean toilet. Well organised and immaculate dairy farm site with good off road footpath walk to nearby village of Hamsthwaite. Good spot for Harrogate which can be reached by bike in around 45 minutes.

A welcome stay with nice people

The setting was beautiful entry and exit was very easy. Nobody was in a rush to get you off site. Local pub about a mile and a half away food and drink was good. Plenty of towns and villages within a short drive away Toilet was clean. People were very helpful and friendly. I would recommend this CL to anybody and will be going back.

May Road Trip

Directions easy to follow and access to farm very good. Option of 2-3 hard standing as well as the grass pitches. Hardstandings were welcome because of previous days' very heavy rain and the ground was very boggy in places. The owner was very welcoming and advised where and where not to pitch The views were absolutely beautiful and service points clean and tidy. Ideal for visiting Harrogate, Knaresborough and across the Dales to Skipton. Quite limited dog walking but would be happy to come again if we were in the area.

A warm welcome despite the wet.

We have just spent a very enjoyable 5 nights at this CL. Georgina Beecroft welcomed us on arrival and went out of her way to help us pitch on grass which was very soft in places due to the exceptionally wet weather over the preceding weeks. We arrived late in the day and the 3 hardstandings were already occupied but with Georgina’s help we were soon in position. There are extensive views of the surrounding countryside from all pitches and the provision of a WC in adjacent buildings is an added bonus to the usual electric and water facilities. This a working dairy farm and a certain amount of early morning noise is to be expected but we did not find it to be intrusive. Further rain during our stay made the grass paddock softer and so Georgina and husband Richard offered to move us with their Land Rover when a hard standing became available to avoid any further damage to the grass. This was a perfect solution and they went out of their way to be helpful. Approximately 3 miles from the centre of Harrogate the CL is in an ideal location for visits to the town, the show ground for events throughout the year and RHS Harlow Carr Gardens in addition to the beauty of the Nidd Valley. We will be happy to return, hopefully in dryer conditions.

Fantastic setting

This CL ticked all the boxes. Although slightly sloping the all grass field was well maintained and we had the freedom to choose our position. Not the best site for large twin axle units. It was easy to find and access with the bus stop just outside the long drive. As an early riser farmyard noises were not an issue and I enjoy being in the midst of a working farm. Harrogate lovely and from there a pleasant walk to RHS Harlow Carr.
