This is a nice CL with a very friendly and welcoming owner. He even put down a bed of wood chippings so that our motorhome didn't get bogged in the still damp ground. There were ewes, one in lamb, plus some newborn lambs in a shed, and it was interesting watching them being fed. They bleated loudly ever time we went past. There is a convenient and regular bus service to Harrogate and Knaresborough along the road, so it's very easy to get to the local places of interest. (Note no Sunday service.) The owner has put the timetable up outside the toilet block. As for the pub down the road, the Union, this was a huge disappointment. Until last September it did excellent food, and was run by an enthusiastic landlord. Then there was a change of licensee. It's now an unwelcoming, failing local, with no food at all, and not worth crossing the road for. Unfortunately the web site created by the previous licensee is still there, and the first we knew of the changes was when we arrived for a meal, only to be told in effect to get lost. If you want a pub meal, there are some in Knaresborough just about within walking distance. The nearest is the Dropping Well by the Nidd.
