Lovely little site, even in January
We've just spent nine nights here, using it as a base to explore Knaresborough, Harrogate, Ripon etc.
The site has a wide entrance, with no difficulty entering it from either direction (Kia Sorento and Elddis 840 combination for us). We arrived the day after torrential rain and there was a lot of flooding, so we only had two viable pitches available, on the hardstanding at the top of the site. These are the closest to all the facilities but would be on the thoroughfare to the facilities for campers on all the other pitches, so if you like privacy the lower pitches would be better, when not flooded.
The site is level, spotless, well-maintained and quite secluded; it's overlooked by some houses but is away from the road and it's a quiet road anyway. The nearby school was the only noise we heard.
Facilities are a wooden building containing a washing up sink, WC, and a separate WC and shower room. The block is heated just enough to take the January chill away.
The shower is electric (and not metered) and is spacious, but as with many electric showers it's not particularly powerful, but it's hot. The washing up facilities suffer the same problem, it's an over-sink heater which I'm speculating is only 2Kw or 3Kw, so by the time your bowl is full the water has gone cold. We ended up washing up in the caravan. But it's a handy facility to have, and everything was immaculate.
Also - and this may be a factor in my comments above - water pressure to the whole site seems very low. It takes around eight minutes to fill a standard Aquaroll; start this filling as soon as you arrive on site and then get your caravan level and the elctrics sorted, and it might be full by then.
EHU is very good, with no issues when we had multiple cooking devices in use; admittedly we had the site to ourselves though.
There are on-site recycling facilities for glass and plastic bottles, but not for other plastics so we took all our plastic food trays etc back home to Scotland to recycle there.
Internet coverage isn't good. Both Vodafone and EE were struggling to get one bar of 4G, even with an external router antenna on the caravan roof; we didn't have O2 or Three to try with.
Large Morrison's about 10 minutes away (Harrogate), and many other large and small shops all within easy driving distance. Guy Fawke's Arms is a 15 minute walk away, either along the road or via an old (muddy) track, and is really excellent - we went for Sunday lunch and it was rammed, with people waiting for tables, so make sure you book.
Knaresborough Market on a Wednesday is worth a visit; small but some nice cheeses and veg available.
Overall it's a very nice site, very clean and well loved, and the facilities are very handy to have.
