Just enjoyed a 2 night break on the Knaresborough site. Stayed here once before some 8 or 9 years ago and have tried many times since to get on but it's always been fully booked, it's that popular. As compensation for our long wait to get on, we were allocated a fully serviced pitch so it was really nice to be able to connect up our caravan directly to the water supply and forget about our barrels. Pity we hadn't bought our long waste hose though! The heating in the toilet block is wonderful, though we did find it a little overpowering as the weather warmed up as the weekend went on. Went to Ripley on the Saturday intending to visit the castle, only to discover that dogs are not permitted, even in the grounds so that was that. Explored Knaresborough in the afternoon - a charming little place I thought with great views over the Nidd valley from the castle grounds. All in all, we had a great weekend and will be looking to stay here again sometime (if we can get on!).
