Excellent -holiday 11.06.21 to 18.06.21

What a great stay we have just had at this fantastic site . the staff could were extremely welcoming and all through the holiday were very friendly and kept all the amenities in excellent working order and very clean the pitches are all of a good size and easy to navigate into ( and only broke 2 rock pegs when putting up the awning on the hard standing pitch ) the local area is beautiful and the local pub Forge Valley ( a short 10 minute walk downhill going but a 30 minute stagger back uphill ) serves great food and at reasonable prices.

Wonderful spacious and welcoming site

Our first visit here in mid-May 2021. Stayed for a week. Enjoyed it SO much despite the heavens opening on more than one occasion. Wardens were exactly as you'd hope; efficient, friendly, welcoming, helpful and fun. Our pitch was clean, level and spacious. The facilities (loos just open as we arrived, showers re-opened a few days after we arrive) were immaculate and kept that way because of extra cleaning required to meet Covid regulations. A rural site with birdsong to die for! We will definitely be going back to this site in the future. Just our cup of tea!

Great Stay, Great Wardens, Perfectly safe.

We stayed here for 15 nights recently. Everyone on the warden team was superb - helpful, friendly and hard working but always finding time to say hello or deal with any queries. This was the first time away in our new caravan following the easing of lockdown and we felt perfectly safe. We used our own bathroom facilities during the stay but did venture out to the communal washing up facilities (wearing our masks) to do the washing up and clean our Cadac. Other members who we encountered there also wore their masks so we felt perfectly safe. There were lots of hand sanitisers around the facility block and they were always full so there was never a problem about taking stuff to the bins, emptying waste water, visiting the elsan disposal point or replenshing our aquaroll. It was just great to be back on a club site watching members going about their daily lives and chatting with a few about our shared lockdown experiences. We hadn't visited this site before but found lots of places to visit - Scarborough, Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, Pickering, Malton and further afield, Staithes and Saltburn. We can recommend them all. The regular evening drive down to Scarborough to park up overlooking the sea (and occasionally sharing a bag of chips) was a real treat. To present a balanced review, I'd have to express concern about the fact that some members showed scant regard for the 5mph speed limit whilst on the site. Too often, the biggest culprits were those arriving for the first time and towing their caravan. It was as if they were terrified that somebody might beat them to their preferred pitch. Fortunately, there were no children on the site but there really is no excuse to drive so fast. I'd also say that we would choose a different pitch next time. We chose one at the head of an enclosed area for several units. This meant that those members walking out to exercise their dogs often stopped at the grass by the side of our caravan to allow their dogs to urinate before proceeding on their way. One morning, we found dog faeces had been left on the same grass area - so much easier to let your dog exercise late at night when nobody can see that you have no intention of cleaning up after your pet. Having to clear up the mess left by somebody else's dog when you choose not to own one yourself, is just stomach churning. Vile! That aside, we had a lovely time and would have no hesitation in visiting this site again - if we can get a booking!

Needs Refurbishment on toilet blocks.

The site and staff are good, but , the toilet block ( at the top ) definitely is in need of total refurbishment, I`m surprised that it hasn`t been done during ` lockdown`. The showers that we could use were old, worn and there was no bench on which to place your toiletries or foot when drying yourself. The washbasin cubicles were far too small ( you had to stand outside with the curtain open ) to shave and dry off. It`s no fault of the site, but , the farm next to the site uses sound devices to scare the birds from the crops and it sounded like a very loud shotgun going off about twice per hour. I have used this site a few times but next time may look at Bridlington.

Lovely site, well maintained with friendly staff

Nice welcome on arrival and a really pretty and quiet site surrounded by trees. Peaceful particularly at night. Facilities well kept and clean. Staff really helpful during our stay. Good Covid arrangements in place. The only disappointment was other club members behavior towards the Covid protection requirements - some simply ignoring the mask wearing requirement in shared covered spaces, even when reminded some still ignored them. A shame that the club has members who act like this!!

Great location

A lovely spacious site in a great location. Walks and cycling from the doorstep and easy to visit nearby coastal resorts of Filey and Scarborough. The village is within easy walking distance of the village where there is a fish n chip shop and a fish n chip restaurant. The Denison Arms is very welcoming and serves lovely food. The shop at the garage has everything you could need for self catering. The kids adventure slide/ rope clamber etc looked fantastic but we had to make do with a quick sneak around the log obstacles... much harder than it looked. Enjoyed the table tennis table( although it could do with a wind break around it ! Highly recommend

Fabulous site and management

We visited this site 3 weeks ago on the recommendation of friends. This was our first time caravanning and we couldn't have picked a better site. The site was super clean tidy and very friendly all help was offered as we were first timers. We also want to say a special thankyou to the manager Gary Oldershaw as he really looked after us especially when our shower head blew off and we were soaked, he promptly looked in his spares cupboard and supplied us with a new one. So, cannot thank Gary and all the site staff enough, we will be back as soon as there is availability.

Excellent 1st visit here

just had a 2 night stay here, pleasently suprised on how efficient it all was, quick check in and allowed to pick our own pitch, site was fairly quiet still so plenty of choice, we pitched up just behind the main office block, toilets and wash rooms were open, and water and waste all open, just showers not open just yet, have to say after reading some reviews i was expecting far worse, site was spotless and very well maintained, all bins etc well managed and clean, really suprised how quiet it still is after lockdown, i would say it wasnt even half full, so was very peacefull for us, definatley visit again some time. Well done to all site staff for an excellent stay we really enjoyed.

Fantastic

We picked this site as it wasn't too far from home (about 75 mins) and thought getting away would be good even if close to home. I can honestly say I'd drive for hours to get here, its great. Peaceful, lots of bird life, walks and close to coast. Try it, its lovely

Spotless, Friendly & Helpful.

I have stayed on this site once or twice before when my outlaws were the Assistant Wardens a few years ago so I am familiar with the layout etc. However this weekend was my first time as a paying customer and also my first trip away in our new motorhome. The check-in process was easy and the staff very accommodating to change my pitch to one with an awning as I didn't know that a wind out canopy was classed as one and didn't fancy packing everything away at night. We found a nice quiet spot at the very bottom end but on reflection I should have spent a little more time driving around the site to ensure I took best advantage of the sun. As it happened we were shaded by the trees so only benefited from the sun in the afternoons. The first evening the staff pointed out that I had parked incorrectly but rather than a scolding they gave advice on how to do it in future and let me off. I was so grateful to not have to move everything. My daughter totally loved the new adventure park and soon made friends so this is a wonderful addition to the site, very well kept and clean. I didn't notice a single bit of litter anywhere! We used our facilities in the van the entire time until our last day after packing up. Like a wally I dropped the top from my toilet cassette into the chemical waste point but again the staff came to my rescue and fished it out with a litter picker and even cleaning it up for me. I cannot fault the site at all and would not hesitate to go back. The staff should be very proud of their hard work.
