Another fabulous visit

Stayed for 2 weeks in September. This was our third visit to this fabulous caravan site. The wardens Trevor and Pat, Guy and Pauline are absolutely brilliant. They will do anything to help and keep the site lovely. They have cut down a few trees which we feel has opened up the site and allowed the sunshine to come through. Hope to visit again next year. David and Isabel, Hawick, Scotland.

Back again

Well we are back again. This is our favourite site. We love York and use the park and ride just up the road to take the pressure off driving and parking in York. York is so beautiful and with so much to do, we haven't seen it all yet. The site isn't the easiest to find first time, but once found you will want to go again. The site is very quiet with friendly staff. We have always been made welcome and other users have also been friendly and always comment when we meet. The site is clean and tidy, staff always seem to be doing something. We don't always see this on other sites. On one occasion we even saw a member of staff park a caravan for a gentleman who was having great trouble ( I think he had problems with his right and left) I am sure we will be back again next year.

Yet another enjoyable visit

We have stayed at this site on many occasions and spent a week there recently. As always, our stay way enjoyable and relaxing despite some inclement weather. The site is well maintained although the toilet block is now looking a little tired. I must pay special tribute to the wardens who we have come to know a little and are genuinely friendly & professional. Nothing is too much trouble and they exhibit the kind of customer service which is a real credit to the club. My overriding feeling as I drive onto to the site is one of relaxation and our recent visit was no different, despite our rather over-exuberant new little puppy. Beechwood Grange is one of my all time favourite sites and one I love coming back to. I understand that the site will be closed next year for refurbishment and we really cannot wait to go back once that is done. Thanks again for a wonderful break. Linda & Peter Shields

Peaceful week

We have just spent a very peaceful 10 days at the Beechwood site. The facilities were very clean and the staff very helpful and friendly. We have two dogs and the dog field was ideal and keep perfectly mowed. The site is ideally situated for visiting York, the east coast and near to Castle Howard that is well worth a visit

Nice short break end of August.

Site was missed initially, Sat Nav takes you to an adjacent road with no access to the site, signage too low to be seen from a busy double roundabout. Site was well kept with many grass and hardstanding pitches. Tried to put up motorhome awning on hardstanding and although we have the correct pegs it was like concrete. Took it down and moved to grass pitch. Toilet block tired and needs a revamp or replacing. Last week of school holidays so children playing on bikes but no bother, just enjoying the safe freedom. Long walk to the bus top that runs every 30 mins, shorter walk to bus that runs 2 hourly, but did go to York and back twice. Overall, we would use the site again.

Good but too many buts

First impressions - approach signage is poor - missed the sign as its right on the junction and I was already in outside lane following satnav to postcode which ment a detour. Dogs - this may be noted but I didn't see it - you can't walk your dog offsite due to the stud farm next door. Facilities - toilets worn out Families - loads of them with a big play area - not the place for a quiet week away Pitches - one heavy rain shower and some pitches were flooding ours included - started drying out an hour after the rain but anything on the ground in the awning was soaked. Noise - kids on bikes till 10pm, chasing round the roads on bikes - 6 at a time. Aircraft low overhead very often Other than that a good base for the area

Fantastic week at this great site

We stayed for a week at this site with our 4 children and dog and were a little bit dubious about it after reading some of the reviews. However do not let them put you off, this is a great site with fantastic facilities for the children who spent hours in the park and the adjoining ball field, which is an amazing space for them to go wild in!! The dog walk is also lovely and our black lab thoroughly enjoyed herself meeting new friends as well!! Now onto the much slated shower/toilet facilities. Yes, in truth, they are in need of some modernisation and yes, considering the size of the site, there could probably be a few more showers however, we found them to be perfectly adequate and always spotlessly clean. In fact I did not have to queue for a shower once during our stay! The wardens were also extremely welcoming and friendly. The site is well placed for exploring York and the surrounding area and is only a 5 minute drive from one of the Park and Rides into the city. We used this both times we went in, it was quick, efficient and great value for money (only £2.90 per adult with under 16s free). All-in-all, we had a great week there and would definitely recommend it.

Sadly let down by the club.

On arrival the site sign is a wooden sandwich board low on the ground at the side of a busy roundabout, so we missed seeing that so added a 1 mile trip to turn around at the next roundabout. The staff are very helpful and do a great job. Sadly the club sees that it's better to spend money on new name and i.age but leaves this busy site with a shower block with broken/missing tiles in nearly all showers. The showers are grubby with age and the cubicles are small. As it's a busy site and with many foreign visitors it's not a good image for the club but the CAMHC new ice cream club signs are new. The club needs to get off it's backside and support it's wardens struggling with a very tired amenities block.

We loved our stay

We stayed at the site for a week and loved it. The facilities for children are excellent and our two children had a fantastic week. The wardens were extremely helpful and friendly, especially when we arrived on site and one of the wardens went out of his way to help us with our awning. York is a beautiful city and Beechwood is fantastic in all respects; we will visit again soon.
