Late booking
Lovely secluded friendly site
Booked for three nights at short notice and we very surprised at the friendliness of the staff and the layout of the pitches on site. A lot of attention from the Wardens to give us a pitch which suited our needs and for being so flexible in amending our booking based on the length of our Motorhome. Lots of wildlife with baby ducks, coots and Gerald the Peacock in a little oasis in Yorkshire. Easy walk of about a mile into Leyburn along the footpath on the main road past the chocolate factory, garden centre and auction rooms. Also a nice walk along the top of the site on country paths into Leyburn. Good access routes to explore Wensleydale and Yorkshire and a wealth of detail is available in the information room. Lovely to see the Wensleydale Heritage railway running on the edge of the site, not only steam trains but classic Diesel engines as well, about three times a day and not much of a disturbance. Footpath crosses the railway line onto the main road and the Pheasant Inn to your left. Classic quaint country boozer that does not serve food, so be prepared if you arrive late you will not be able to pop to the pub for a bite to eat. Overall a lovely three days and we will be back. Well done to the Wardens for keeping such a lovely site.
We will be back
