Pleasurable recent holiday

We have been to this site several times in the past but not in the past 4-5 years. It had started to look a little tired with weeds on hard standing and untrimmed hedges and a rather abrupt warden. However, having just returned from a short stay what a pleasant surprise. The standard and care of the site is excellent with friendly and pleasant wardens who were working very hard on their own without assistant wardens. Despite this always open to a pleasant chat and bit of humor. This site is extremely well located for a run to the coast or into York where there are many superb attractions. Well done and thank you to the wardens on site.

If you have a dog you cannot leave this site on foot

Usual high standards of cleanliness with efficient and polite staff. Good secure dog walk on site. Easy transport links to York Generous pitches However the main downfall is the fact that if you have a dog you cannot leave this site on foot. This is because access to the site is via a private driveway and the landowner has suffered with irresponsible dog owners allowing their pets to chase and in some cases kill his livestock and has now banned them from being walked along this route. I am sure the Caravan Club could do more to resolve this issue - installing a better fence would be a start, educating dog owners is not so easy but as with most things in life the majority suffer due to the actions of the minority. Don't let this put you off visiting this lovely site

ideal location

site is in an ideal location with shopping centre within 1 mile, park & ride at Monks Cross. Visited this site many times , different wardens but still the friendly welcome from all the staff. My only concern would be the tired looking toilet block which is in need of a makeover. Otherwise brilliant site.

An excellent location

The site staff were very friendly and helpful. I thought that the washroom facilities possibly needed a bit of modernisation. But the location is perfect for visiting York and surrounding area. A short walk down to Monks Cross park and ride is ideal for getting in and out of the city. My only complaint is the wifi, or non existence of it. The club guide does state that it is Bronze standard and although I understand that is likely to be weak, there should be some access. I select a site on the understanding that I can get a WiFi signal, but it was virtually impossible on this occasion.

Trailer Tenters

This is our third stay on a club site in our trailer tent and the best yet. The site is just so peaceful and so well located to main roads and shops etc (with exceptionally cheap fuel at the local supermarket). We found the toilet/shower facilities always spotless, plenty of hot water and powerful showers. The pitches are well layed out and the driveway into the site has horses and foals on each side. We didn't have much to do with the wardens but they seemed very pleasant and happy to help. Will definitely be returning in the future. Thanks

First class wardens a example for others to follow.

Most of the points which we would make have already been covered so I wont bore you with them. We have been caravan club members since 2012, a short time compared to many of our fellow members, and in that time we have stayed at many club sites on the network. I just wanted to say that the wardens at Beechwood Grange were the best that we have ever met. They were approachable and helpful and seemed to welcome all the members equally. We have small children and we participated in a short treasure hunt which has been created on the site for "tourer explorers". The wardens were encouraging them along the way and giving them a gentle pointer in the right direction. They made us feel very welcome and valued as a club members. The staff work hard to keen the ageing facilities immaculate and all credit to them for that. Many wardens would do well to learn from the wardens at Beechwood Grange.

Excellent site

We visit regularly and are never disappointed. A good flat site with easy access from the main road with a good variety of pitch types all laid out in a pleasant manner. Good facilities with supermarkets and cheap fuel just down the road next to Park and Ride service. If you want to tour the area then this is a far easier site to work from than Rowntree although that may be better if you just want to visit York itself. The approach road though needs some attention but that is my only criticism. The large trees at one corner of the site where you exit have been removed which has altered the feel if that area which is now very open.

School holiday getaway

Overall this is a pleasant site in an ideal location, however the toilet/shower block is in need of an upgrade and I did not feel it was cleaned to the same standards as other sites. There is only 6 showers and gets very busy, so be prepared to queue every morning. Although we enjoyed our stay it is not a site we will be returning to, much prefer Rountree park site. Wardens very helpful and polite.

Young and Old

Excellent site , run by very good wardens. The site is very clean and is ideal for visits to York and the East coast locations. However both Young and Old member drivers are 'sign blind' once again driving anywhere between 15-30 mph, after all the publicity about 5 mph and signs on the site , speed doesn't seem to matter to some people , be they Young or Old !! So come on , if its you're child or animal that gets knocked down hard luck, they can speed if they want!! This site needs more speed humps to deter speeding . Overall will visit the site again and again. .
