Disappointing

Visited this site many times ,site still very good. Read the reviews about the wander ,but needed to see for ourselves The room looked good, No atmosphere, service needs addressing and food not great really.

First time since site upgrade

Visited site last year and really saw a difference this year all grass pitches made to hard standing which was nice.Shame about the bistro though prices seem to have doubled Evan the takeaway menu was far to expensive. Don't think we will be visiting site again as use to like going into the friendly bistro but not at their prices

First visit since upgrade

Just back after a weekend at one of our favourite sites in the network - recently reopened after a large upgrade. Impressed by the new pitches, more hard standings and service pitches now as well; new toilet block attached to the rebuilt offices and "bistro" building are excellent. Less impressed by what has been done to the entrance. The previous in / out has been split in two to give separate routes; the right angle turn to get in is a strange move as it is now tighter than it was before, large units and motorhomes take care. Once through the wooden-fenced entrance you are met by two in-barriers - one for new arrivals and one for on-site traffic / those with a key-fob already. Problem with this is that if there is more than one unit waiting to check in you can't get past so have to wait anyway. There is also a barrier on the way out but the whole barrier system doesn't make the site any more secure as you can drive between the two sets in the gap provided for the "on-site" barrier!? Very strange.... The queue that can build up at 5pm on a Friday and noon on Sunday for new arrivals can cause a traffic jam that gets out on to the village road - if there is a unit waiting on the road, you can't get out of the exit lane to leave! All in all, an odd change to have made to the roads (there don't seem to be so many reminders of the 5mph limit as previously either?), but the change to the site itself is excellent. Didn't use the Bistro as the prices seemed high and discussion on site wasn't especially complimentary.

Bistro

The bar bistro is run by amateur staff although the staff where very friendly The first night the beer ran out and we sent our meal back it was under cooked The second night we had our starter that came but only half the dish this was rectified Then we sat for 50mins waiting for our main coarse so ask how long it would be Bearing in mind there was only 4 other customers in they came back and told us it had not being started We told them don't bother and when back our caravan and had beans on toast The bistro was also cold not very welcoming

The new Bistro.

Just returned home after two nights a the Knaresborough site, having eaten on both nights at the bistro, I must say I was not impressed with the standard of food considering the prices they are charging, I thought one night was just bad luck, but the following night was worse, the room itself was cold and when I asked if the air conditioning could be turned down was told it was supposed to be self setting and they didn't have any control over it, I made my feelings known to the staff, I came last year to the old bistro and the food was excellent, I suggest the club get the cook/chef from last year to return.

A gem of a site.

We really enjoyed our first time visit to this site. It's in a great location with plenty to do. The new Bistro is a great asset to the site and we hope these can be expanded to more sites. All the staff and wardens were exceptional throughout our stay and I'd find it difficult to find fault with anything (except the patchy summer weather)! We've booked to return in a few weeks so we can explore the town and the area in more detail. If anyone is planning to stay here for the first time could I advise you to watch the first couple of corners coming out of Knaresborough, we found a few drivers giving little leeway to our outfit.

August bank holiday - fantastic weekend

We arrived just after 1pm on opening day to a lovely welcome from the friendly wardens. They'd obviously worked hard to get the site ready, and getting people in, and onto pitches was a top priority and was very well organised. Great facilities, especially the new bar/bistro. Probably one of the best sites we've stayed at, especially its proximity to Knaresborough, Harrogate, Ripley, etc. The list of lovely places within easy reach of this site is endless! Met some lovely folks while we were here, especially motor-homers Ian and Ann from Middlesborough, with their Dachsund 'Troy'.....and the sun shone too! Good times :-)

Lovely Knaresborough

Just got back from a great six day stay at Knaresborough, wardens all very helpful , bistro food was lovely (especially the fish and chips ) and dogs were allowed inside. Staff in bistro very friendly and made you feel welcome. Serviced pitch was good and we had some lovely helpful neighbours. Lots to visit in the area Fountains Abbey was amazing as was Brimham Rocks and the cafes by the River Nidd in Knaresborough are dog friendly as well. Definitely one of my favourite sites to date.

Excellent!

3rd through the gate of this newly refurbished site, and have to say what a great welcome from the wardens. Site looks superb and a really "fresh" and modern feel. Our first night so at the last minute decided to eat at "the wanderer", the New on-site bar and restaurant. First night nerves a plenty and the team working really hard. Although a little slow, that didn't matter - just had another drink - they worked so hard and clearly had a few first night challenges but looking through that when the food came it was really nice. My call to fellow member is to support this venture as it's a nice change and reasonably priced (a case of use it or lose it) and I'll certainly be going for coffee tomorrow and give it my custom whilst I'm here. For those "'moaners" and there are one or two, get over it and support something new and give the ladies running it a chance. As per the rest of the site , so far so good. A mix of pitches to suit most requirements and to the normal high standards. Bottom line, great spot for a quick weekend or a longer stay.

New Years Eve

Stayed at this lovely site over the New Year period, and must comment on the brilliant atmosphere created by Chris in the bistro. He entertained us admirably all night on NY eve, assisted by the wardens, and then returned to run the bar,and entertain us all again on NY day. He made our stay memorable and we hope he returns to run the new bar and bistro in August
