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!

Beautiful quiet site

Stayed here for 3 nights in March. Lovely site, great facilities and very pleasant and helpful staff. The only noise was from the rookery in the surrounding trees. We watched them noisily building their nests. Visited Castle Howard and some lovely surrounding villages. Also used the park & ride into York from Monks Cross - which is a bit too far away for us to walk to. Thank you for a restful break.

Happy caravaners

Had a lovely second stay on this site .the first time was in a motorhome and we now have a caravan . The staff are really friendly and the location is great ...the facilities are clean and plenty of hot water etc... I would also recommend the nearby Toby carvery and Malton is only 20 mins away

Long weekend at York Beechwood site 09/03/2017

This was our second visit to this site having previously visited May 2016. The site is still good and well situated, but was slightly disappointed about two things. The washroom is becoming tired, especially the showers, probably time for a refurbishment. Site looked completely different from our first visit due to most of the trees having been chopped down and thus lost most of its appeal (now more like a field) However we would still probably revisit in the future.

Our 1st time at BEECHWOOD

Our 1st time at BEECHWOOD and will not be our last by any means. In Motorhome, 3 people, 2 adults, 1 14 yr old, all enjoyed our stay the same. Everything about the site pleased us in every way i.e. location, just right for trip into York, facilities, up to the usual expected standard, staff as always really good. Looking forward to our next outing here with excited anticipation.

First time at beechwood

Wardens was very good on this site made you feel very welcome from the start . The site it's self was very clean along with the shower block . Good size dog walk my only fault like all dog walks fine in the daytime but on a night pitch black . Why don't the caravan club put solar lights around all dog walks little cost as there run by daylight would make a massive difference for all dog owners plus you then don't have to leave site last off and get into trouble

Good position for exploring North Yorkhire

This was a good site and well kept. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We can't comment on the toilets/showers as we used our own. My ONLY criticism is that our pitch was towards the end of a straight run through the site and this meant the usual idiots using it as a speed run/challenge to the corner (even with a caravan in tow!) at an estimated 15-20mph. This is not the wardens fault, but certainly is not helped by the design of the road/site. This kind of behavior seems to be growing and can spoil quiet and beautiful sites the club has to offer. Please consider using 1st gear only and no throttle (try it and you will see your speedo not exceeding 5mph....the 5mph site speed limit is there to ensure safety and enjoyment for those not in a vehicle). Why hurry? You're on holiday!
