We have stayed at Knaresborough on two separate occasions this November 2016. Its a lovely site in a good spot. Many superb attractions such as Brimham Rocks, Ripon, Fountains Abbey etc. On this occasion I presumed that we could arrive at 12 as the website booking indicated arrival time between 12 and 2pm. The warden was not happy and told us to leave the site and come back at one despite the site the site being only half full. A warm cheery welcome can make such a difference when you arrive at a site after travelling. As for the bistro it misses out so much on its potential through lacklustre management and food quality which again lacked that extra something that would make you want to return. The site needs friendliness and sparkle just to give it that 'wow' factor. Anyway grumbles over it is a great site overall with good large level pitches and all other usual facilities up the expected standard. we will return and would recommend the site despite the niggles which I have pointed out.
