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.
