main shower block needs attention
We have just returned from a short stay at the Knaresborough club site between Christmas and New year. This was our second stay having previously stayed last summer. It is a lovely site in a great location with the added bonus of a lovely bar/bistro on site. We would stay again.
Situated less than 2 miles from Knaresborough town centre it is in a great location and was a nice walk into town albeit along quite a busy road which you had to cross a couple of times as the footpath doesn't go all the way along on one side. It took about 30 mins. On a drier day the walk through the Nidd gorge is lovely.
The village of Scotton is nice too and has an excellent pub, although we didn't eat there, we popped in for a drink and it had nice atmosphere and the menu looked good perhaps we'll try the food next time.
The on-site bistro is excellent, the food was lovely and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We chose a take-away pizza, chunky chips and veggie-burger, both were really good and we would certainly use it again.
The site is generally really clean and tidy, the pitches are well maintained and level, the motorhome service point and chemical disposal facilities are excellent. The dish-washing area was also excellent.
The only slight negative is that both my wife and I felt the main toilet and shower blocks let this site down. They were not as clean or as well maintained as we would expect e.g. dust / cobwebs from ceiling vents / tiles . There was a lack of hot water by mid morning in the ladies shower, and in the gents showers there was more water coming from the the shower manifold than the actual shower head. The new toilet/shower facilities adjoining the bistro were certainly more modern but were showing signs of a wear, eg. wobbly toilet flush handles and wonky toilet seats. I also got the impression that the other users weren't taking as good care of the facilities as is more usual.
In summary, a lovely site, great location, the bistro is a bonus but the toilet and shower blocks need some TLC for the price you pay.
