I knew we were on to a winner when we pulled up on to our large, spacious pitch and saw the staff hand spreading grit around the footways to keep us all safe. After a long drive, we hooked up and headed for the bistro - complete with our dog, who simply loved the under floor heating - and enjoyed a splendid meal. Hubby had the melt-in-the-mouth steak pie, and I enjoyed a curry which was subtly spiced rather than hot spiced, so I was able to enjoy the flavours. Staff everywhere were great and helpful. There's an adequate, though small, dog walk on site, but we found the gate out at the back of the site on to a section of the Knaresborough Round where he could run around on traffic free lanes - one happy dog! Although the site grew busy at the weekend, it was never noisy and the layout is such that you don't feel cramped in any way, though it's a fairly small footprint and we never had to walk far to get to the loo, the bistro, the reception or the dog walk. I noticed a children's playground too. Everything was spotless. The bins were emptied both days when we were there, the toilet blocks were pristine and very warm. and there was a well lit information rom wit details of local attractions, including more walks for those who have more time than we did. We love visiting Yorkshire, and I think we have now found the best site for the winter visits.
