Great site

Great site with excellent facilities. If you have a car the nearby Park & Ride is ideal to get in and out of York. We have a Motorhome so are dependant on local transport, unfortunately the bus service to the site is not well located or regular, but a taxi into York centre is a flat rate of £9. The wardens are very helpful and the pitches very generous and no mater where you pitch you are near the facility block. For anyone wanting to use this site as a base to explore North Yorkshire it is an excellent location.

Beechwood Grange - great, as always!

This is a really nice, unbelievably tranquil site. Hard to believe you are so close to major roads and shops. The Wardens are top notch. Helpful, friendly and approachable, and keep the site looking lovely. The Park and Ride into York is so accessible. We did a trip to Farndale and enjoyed the daffodil walk, and it took only fifty minutes to get across to Filey for a super day out. We didn't apply our factor 30 and got sunburned faces, first week in April East Coast!! So much to see in this area. Will return.

A good all round site and location.

We chose this site specifically to meet relatives and friends in the area. The site wardens were extremely pleasant and very helpful and are keeping the whole site in excellent condition. A credit to the caravan club. A pity some of the CC members cannot be more polite.

First time out for 15 years!

Bought the caravan a month ago, having sold our last one 15 years when the kids grew up and their teenage demands became too stressful! Alas, the benefits of an 'empty nest' meant, after 2-3 years deliberation, that we bought a new (to us) 2004 Abbey Cardinal 2 berth. We picked Beechwood as we know York very well and if we forgot anything it wasn't too far to pop back home to Beverley. Thankfully, we hadn't forgotten anything major, and though we kept adding to a list to bring next time out, we survived.. The site was absolutely faultless. Fantastic welcome, choice of pitches, well laid out, easy to find (though we knew where it was). Spotless site and the toilet block was fantastic. Not sure if things have moved on since 2002 but the showers were so powerful, there was plenty of them. Washing cubicles aplenty etc. I saw some people had said they were 'tired'.. well, they look perfect to us, although I accept that I don't have anything recent to compare them with. One final thing I'd like to say. I hope the couple from Chesterfield read this who arrived just before us. I panicked a little when finding a pitch, how was I going to get the van on etc. Thankfully, the chap suggested I just unhook and push into position and between us we did. Then he came across a couple of times, as he was setting up his own van, and offered some great suggestions.. Finally, when I decided to put the porch awning up that the previous owner sold me (they were giving up caravanning) it must've been obvious that I was struggling. Thankfully, my neighbour came to the rescue again and it was effectively up in ten minutes! Anyway, a big thank you to him, and to the wardens who made our first ever visit a huge success. All other sites have a lot to live up to. Excellent weekend.

Peaceful and well cared-for site

This site is so easy to get to; no winding country lanes or dirt tracks to negotiate. It is just a few hundred yards off a roundabout on the dual carriageway. If you have a car to help you get to nearby attractions this place is great. The park and ride at monks cross is great for getting into York centre and the Monks Cross shopping centre has a great M&S Food Hall and a John Lewis! The pitches are flat and clean and the site is well equipped with service points. The toilet blocks could do with an update but everything was spotlessly clean and there was no shortage of hot water. The wardens are very helpful and friendly. I was in reception when a first-timer arrived with his caravan. He had never been out with his outfit before and the wardens were very keen to offer help in getting him safely set-up if he ran into any difficulty.

Good site, but need a car

Have stayed on this site many times as it is convenient for visiting some of our family. Facilities are getting tired but the wardens keep them as clean as they can. The wardens are very friendly and have a difficult job to do unfortunately made harder by some dog owners such as the one we saw who appeared at her caravan door in her nightie with two dogs on extended leads to allow them to do their business on the pitch to save her taking them to the dog walk. This is a practice that all too many dog owners seem to think is acceptable, we are charged for children and for extra cars, but dogs are free despite the fact that dog walks are provided and maintained. This is a problem on sites and appears to be getting worse. Responsible Dog lovers

Quiet tranquil site, need car !

Stayed 5 nights March 17. Nice quiet site, wardens are very friendly and accommodating so thanks. The site is a little out of the way, so you need a car to visit surrounding area. If you want to go to York then there are several options. Bus 181 outside nearby toby carvery. Although this only runs couple of times a day so not really practicle. Drive to Monks Cross park and ride, ideal for retail park (many shops) and bus to york. Or walk to in around 25 mins, then bus to York. However if your drinking in York then recommend taxi at £10 each way. 😎😎. We walked to York which took us 1hr and is a long walk on grass verge along fast road so not really recommended and certainly not in the dark or rain. Meal @ Toby Carvery nice (short walk) and there's another eatery at Monks Cross (car needed). Showers tiered but clean, would benefit from refurb which I'm sure will come. All in all, nice site but need transport for most things except the Toby Carvery. Great wardens. Will stay again as love York . Dave & Tracy.

Good alternative to Rowntree Park

We enjoyed a weekend break here at the end of February. Very friendly helpful wardens, though they seemed a little understaffed. The site is well kept with clean, but slightly tired, toilet block etc. A few of the floor tiles are coming away in the shower cubicles and a little tlc is required. The park and ride at Monks Cross is only a mile or so from site, but the lack of pavements makes it an unpleasant/unsafe walk, especially in the dark. There is, however, dedicated motorhome parking at Monks Cross, with very regular busses in to town. We walked to the P&R in the morning and got a cab £11.00 back from the centre of town in the evening, which worked very well. Would certainly visit again.

Good site

This is a very nice site, lots of space, good facilities and quiet. It's a 25 min walk to the bus into York city which runs every 10mins, which gives you the best of both worlds! We would stay again if in the area.

Unable to walk to and from site with your dog!

Just back from 2 nights here (March 17) and all the facilities and wardens are faultless, its clean, tidy, warm showers, etc so I can recommend it on all the usual variables; however. Being unable to leave the site on foot with your dog in 2017 is just not acceptable. I picked up the vibe from the warden who booked me in that there is a lot of animosity and bad feeling with the horse owning next door neighbour (btw I never saw any horses) I reckon the club needs to spend some time, effort and make a legal argument to resolve this. I planned on parking up and then walking to the p and r which is perfectly achievable. The access roundabout is signal controlled, so little danger there and the road past the toby carvery is big grass verges, not the pedestrian nightmare that was described to me. This was the only option, as the site is also surrounded with barbed wire fences and deep ditches. Shared access is a fact of life for many, but here in Scotland we enjoy sensible and practical open access rights, that would obviate the sort of nonsense at Beechwood Grange. I will only stay again if no alternative - or if the access is resolved!
