Site & Bistro

We are generally never let down by club sites as this one is no exception. The facilities were clean and new. It has to be said though that the power of the men’s showers was very poor - far better in the ladies apparently. The bistro was a nice touch and widely used. Although only 50% of Guinness poured was correct ...... No Radio

First time here

First time here. Only second outing as novices, found the site to be very clean, facilities were top notch, staff very helpful and friendly. Ideally situated for York,Ripon Thirsk, Harrogate and obviously Knaresborough. Would definitely visit again, hopefully when the weather is a bit warmer.

Reasonable site

We travelled overnight from Cornwall and arrived a little earlier than forecasted. Despite a polite phone call and request our attempt to get in failed, being advised that they were involved with cleaning and opened could only deal with our arrival at 1200. We duly arrived at 1145 and on the stroke of 1200 a lady appeared and we completed the 5 minute booking in process. The site is clean and tidy, the shower block a delight. £10 a week for weak-signalled wi-fi on one device only is prehistoric and expensive. Felt that we were ‘punters’ rather than the members of a subscription based ‘club’. Perhaps we are over-demanding but perhaps not.

Like a new pin

This is the second club site we have been to as we prefer the inexpensive CL sites. So as a winter treat we thought to give the site a try. On arrival we had a warm welcome and was told we could pick any free pitch then come back to reception for a key fob for the electric barrier system. We pitched up and my Wife went down to reception with our little dog to collect a barrier key. She got a telling off from staff for bringing the Dog into the reception. Now, there are no signs anywhere whatsoever that states 'no dogs', the reception is rather large and very sparse save for a long counter and a collection of keys hung up on the back wall and that's it, no food for sale, nothing but bare walls and a counter. Everything on site is very new and spotless with all the usual club site services laid on. The toilet-shower blocks are so clean you could eat your dinner off the surfaces. There is a new Bistro which looked very modern but we didn't try it out due to another reviewer mentioned the bar prices. Pitching up was very easy with no adjustment levelling. There is a local Pub within spitting distance called the Guy Fawkes Arms. They welcome dogs in the main bar, we didn't eat in the restaurant but as I am fairly local I know it is regarded as one of the best in the area for food. The site is actually in a village called Scotton and the market town of Knaresborough is a couple of miles down the road. There is a beautiful riverside walk into Knaresborough from a small car park up the road south on the right. The village of Ripley is not too far away that has a famous ice cream parlour that usually has massive cues outside on a weekend. Also in Ripley is Ripley castle and grounds with a large lake to wander around. The gardens and lake area are free admission most weekends. In the village is a pub called 'The Boars Head' that does fine dining. To be fair you could spend a month at the site and still not see all that is on offer in a twenty odd mile radius. If you do your research before hand you wont be disappointed. All in all we had a wonderful weekend of doing absolutely nothing on a very clean and tidy site. I think the sites reception would do very well if it served as a shop selling essentials including blue and pink please, as we nearly ran out. Maybe that is in the pipeline.

Excellent Stay

We returned yesterday from our first visit to the site and cannot rate it highly enough. The facilities are excellent and exceptionally clean and the Bistro is a lovely addition, and we had a good meal in their on Friday night, our dog was also made most welcome. The site is a short distance from the Guy Fawkes Arms pub and a comfortable walk along the road into Knaresborough itself (we also walked to Knaresborough via the Nidd Gorge). Special thanks to the Warden who helped us get straight on our pitch as our Motor Mover failed and also to the kind gentleman who assisted with our Jockey Wheel problem yesterday (only our 3rd trip out so we are still learning!). We would highly recommend the site and can't wait to come back.

Good site. Selfish Customers

This is indeed a good site with great facilities and everything is new, shiny and spotless. Our break was spoilt as We had neighbours being rowdy in their awning until early hours, just plain selfish. I don't drive for 6.5 hours to hear drunken conversation complete with hacking cough from someone. Go in your van and let half of the site sleep! Bistro was lovely, but 4 staff, 2 in kitchen and 2 front of house wasn't enough, sadly we had to wait for an hour for desserts, despite also chasing them up several times. Management need to check the industry standard for what constitutes a large glass of wine! For rest and relaxation this site, on this occasion, didn't provide.

Good wardens

Well how refreshing to have such good humoured wardens. Nothing too much trouble and even when site electrics went down no negative attitude, just sorted. The facilities are immaculate and the onsite bistro was superb. The serving staff were friendly and very efficient and the chef was more than willing to accommodate alterations to the menu. Altogether a very pleasant experience, we shall return. very best wishes to all the staff there.

Friendly site

Had a pleasant weekend at Knaresborough Caravan club site where we found the facilities spot on, clean and well maintained. The staff that met us upon arrival very pleasant. The location of the site not to far from the town and a local pub just a 5 min walk into the local village. We personally visited the on site bistro The Wanderer both night for drinks only on the Friday and drinks and a meal on the Saturday, there was a good selection of wine, spirits and beers and the food was of a very high standard all reasonably priced and served by very polite and helpful staff.I would thorough recommend a visit.

lovely site

lovely site wardens and bistro staff very friendly and accommodating easy access to the dales and a lovely walk down the Nidd valley into knaresborough good beer and food in the bistro albeit limited but plenty of places to eat in knaresborough and an excellent pub 5 mins walk down the road. Would have been nice if office sold basic things like bread and milk but that is being overcritical would recommend a visit
